Faith
Statement Although we come from a variety of denominations,
we share in a common faith. We believe in the one eternal God: Father, Son, and Spirit, who is
holy and loving. God, the Father, is the source of all in heaven and earth. God, the Son,
took on human flesh in Jesus, was born of a virgin, died a sacrificial and
atoning death on the cross, was
buried, rose from the dead on the third day and ascended into heaven where He
is seated in glory. God, the Holy Spirit, indwells those who confess Jesus as Lord, endows God’s people with
the gifts and fruits of love, leads them in righteousness, and empowers them
for service. We believe that: …sin is the cause of human alienation and
separation from God. …the only way to reconciliation with God is
through a divinely initiated and personally enduring faith in the Son, Jesus
Christ. …Christians, though diverse in culture and
Christian tradition, are members of one holy and universal church. …Jesus Christ will return in glory and all people
will be bodily resurrected to appear before Him; those who have rejected Him
will experience eternal separation from God, those who received Him will
share eternal life. …The Bible is the inspired Word of God, teaching
with authority in matters of faith and life. |
