~ A Brief Statement of Faith  ~

       

        In life and in death we belong to God.

        Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,

        and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the triune

        God, and the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and

        serve.

             We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God.

        Jesus proclaimed the reign of God; preaching good news to the

        poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and

        blessing the children,healing the sick and finding up the broken-

        hearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all

        to repent and believe the gospel.

        Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was

        crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving His

        Life for the sins of the world

        God raised Jesus from the died,vindicating His sinless Life,

        breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to

        life eternal......

        With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing

        in life or in death can separate us from the Love of God in

        Christ Jesus our Lord.

        Glory be to the Father,and to the Son,and to the Holy Spirit.

                                     Amen.
