Working for Turning Point – What to Expect:

Turning Point for God is the broadcast ministry of Dr. David Jeremiah and exists to deliver the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world. Turning Point is committed to creating a dynamic culture that reflects our traditional Christian values and supports our employees’ God-given and unique abilities and skills. Our organization hires employees who share our Christian values and hold to beliefs that are not in conflict with Turning Point’s Employee Statement of Faith.

Turning Point’s Statement of Faith:

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God and in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures. The Bible is the supreme authority and is the only rule of faith and practice, as opposed to all human traditions. 
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
• We believe in the deity and humanity of 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 into Heaven where He now sits at the right hand of the Father, in His promised power of the Holy Spirit, in His present rule as Head of the Church, and in His personal visible premillennial return and ultimate and undisputed Kingdom and reign. 
• We believe in the New Testament Church and believe in the individual priesthood of the believer and stand for a regenerated and spiritual church, holding that only those who have confessed a personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord shall be assured eternal salvation; those who die in unbelief of Jesus Christ as Savior shall suffer eternal separation from God. 
• We believe and stand for the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper as Christ enjoined them upon His followers; the same in number, in act, in order and in symbolic meaning, unchanged and unchangeable until He comes again. 
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and serve as God leads. 
• We believe God immutably creates each person as male or female, which reflects the image and nature of God. We believe that gender identity may not be detached from the biological sex of the human body. Rejecting one’s biological sex or acting upon any disagreement with one’s biological sex is immoral and rejects the created image of God. 
• We believe God designed marriage or matrimony as a unique, covenantal, procreative, conjugal relationship joining one biological man and one biological woman in a heterosexual, single, exclusive, life-long union. God intends sexual intimacy to exclusively occur between a man and a woman joined in marriage and that God intends for children to be raised and nurtured in an environment that honors these distinctions. 
• We believe all forms of sexual immorality, including but not limited to adultery, fornication, homosexual activity and behavior, polygamy, polyandry, bestiality, incest, pornography, is immoral, sinful and offensive to God. 
• We believe God endows all human life with inherent dignity at every stage of development and it must be respected and protected from conception to natural death. Thus, the unjustified, intentional taking of human life before or after birth is sinful and offensive to God. 

Benefits:

• Generous medical, dental and vision insurance, with voluntary supplemental plans
• Health Savings Account (HSA) option
• Company-sponsored long-term disability insurance and short-term (outside of CA)
• Company-sponsored life Insurance
• 403(b) retirement savings plan with employer contribution
• Eleven paid holidays
• Accrued vacation and sick time
• Yearly paid time off
