With unrelenting passion God seeks to be in relationship with all of us. We believe in Jesus the Christ, who is the embodiment of God’s redeeming grace; and in the Holy Spirit through whom that grace continues its restoring work. We believe in the Church. It is the body of Christ on the earth today. As ministers of this church, we are all called like Jesus, to heal, to deliver, to teach, and to serve. We believe that together we can change the world, in our time and for all time. Amen!
