✝️ Our Approach to Scripture

Dragonsong Church Ecclesia holds the Bible as the inspired, living Word of God — foundational, authoritative, and perpetually active in the lives of the faithful.

We do not approach Scripture as a closed artifact. We approach it as a living flame — one that illuminates the past, speaks into the present, and reaches toward futures the original authors could not have named but the Spirit already knew.

We affirm:

• The Bible is the primary and supreme authority for doctrine, ethics, and spiritual life

• Scripture is best understood through the Holy Spirit, in community, with humility

• The Word does not contradict itself — but our understanding of it must grow

• Prophecy did not end with the canon — the Spirit still speaks, and new testimony is held to the standard of Scripture, not above it

• The Gospel extends to all creation — and we read Scripture with that horizon in mind

We do not add to Scripture. We refuse to shrink it.
