A Statement of Faith
Today, the church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, carries God’s story of redemption to the world in word and deed. God, in love and righteousness, planned for our rescue before creation. In the fullness of time, the Kingdom of heaven broke into time and God became human by the Holy Spirit and lived among us. Jesus, wholly human and wholly divine, revealed all that being human in right relationship with God could be. God was revealed through the Son, and the sinless Son demonstrated the sacrificial love of the Godhead by dying on the cross, and paying the debt for our sin and guilt. Through the resurrection, Jesus broke the power of sin, death and Satan. He is now exalted at the right hand of the Father.
Until that time, we will journey on with our brothers and sisters in the faith in eager expectation of the day when the veil is lifted and we see him face to face, and kiss the wounds on his hands and feet in humble adoration. Then we, along with members from every tribe and tongue and nation, will experience pure joy, as healed and whole we stand before the throne enjoying the presence of our God and King forever.
