Statement of Faith

•	The Bible to be the infallible Word of God, that it is His holy and inspired Word, and that it is of supreme and final authority.
•	In one God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
•	Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took on Himself all our sins, died and rose again, and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our mediator and advocate.
•	That all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, and need to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through His shed blood on the cross.
•	That Christ rose from the dead and is coming soon.
•	In holy Christian living, and that we must have concern for the hurts and social needs of our fellowmen.
•	We must dedicate ourselves anew to the service of our Lord and to His authority over our lives.
•	In using every modern means of communication available to us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Soon after making the BGEA it had grown so large it had (still has) offices all over the US and in places like Sydney, Buenos Aires, Winnipeg, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, and Mexico City. The BGEA also went on to produce published periodicals (prepared in six languages and Braille), books, phonograph records, audio tapes as well as produced films and radio programs.

In the late 1950s the BGEA staff had taken over the evangelistic group called, ‘The Navigators.’

Billy Graham Evangelistic Film Ministry (after 1980 it was known as WWP, World Wide Pictures) was incorporated with the help of Dick Ross, in Maryland, 1952. By 1958 they had a hit magazine called, Decision Magazine, which had landed on every news stand and by 1988 its circulation rate, was at two million copies.

Grason Company formed in 1952, published and distributed books, records, music and other BGEA materials used for Crusades. In which all retail sales went to the BGEA and all wholesales went to WWP.
