  2. We believe that there is only one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

  3. We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

  4. We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

  5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

Code of Conduct

 WATC fosters and encourages excellence in Christian broadcasting by establishing and maintaining high standards with respect to content, method of presentation, and ethical practices. The public looks to us to maintain consistent ethical behavior into our broadcasting, programming, business, management, financial, and relational responsibilities.  Recognizing the Bible as the standard by which we must evaluate all beliefs, instruction, policies and practices, WATC has adopted the following Code of Conduct and requires that all programmers adhere to these standards:

  1. I will conduct my personal life, corporate ministry, and business affairs in a way that will not bring shame or reproach to the name of the Lord. Rather, I will speak to bring glory and pleasure to our Lord and encourage others to do likewise (I Peter 1:14-16; 2:12; 4:11)

  2. I will speak the truth in love. (Ephesians 4:1-16)

  3. I will recognize and respect what the Lord is doing through other individuals and organizations while refraining from unnecessary criticism of them. (I Peter 3:8,9)

  4. I will not use the media to knowingly speak falsely against anyone. (Exodus 20:16)

  5. When I believe a WATC programmer has sinned against me or the Lord, or has violated this Code of Conduct I will follow the principles and procedures set forth in God’s word. (Matthew 18:15-17)

  6. I will honor my obligations to my vendors, neighbors, community and government. (Romans 3:7-8)

  7. In matters of dispute with other Christians, I will attempt to submit my grievances to Christian arbitration for resolutions rather than to the courts of the land (I Corinthians 6:1-8). Nothing herein shall be construed so as to prohibit a member from expressing his genuine concern to another brother in a spirit of love and in accordance with Matthew 18:15-17.

Please tell us what you think about our Code of Conduct.  Do you agree or disagree?
