To create an environment where non-judgmental listening, sharing, encouragement and prayer support can take place.
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is
upon me, because the Lord has
appointed me to bring
good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the
brokenhearted and to announce that
captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those
who mourn that the time of the
Lord’s favor has come…
To all who mourn…
he will give beauty for ashes,
joy instead of mourning,
praise instead of despair.
Isaiah 61:1-3
(New Living Translation)
We believe that in our brokeness we can come to know the love of God through Jesus. Because He lives, we can experience emotional and spiritual healing.
We believe in:
- The Bible as the word of God, inspired by God and inerrant in its original manuscripts.
- The Trinity of the Godhead: there is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit.
- The virgin birth of Jesus Christ: Jesus is both the eternal Son of God and the Son of Man; two distinct persons in one Person forever.
- The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, which assures the resurrection of all believers who have accepted God’s gift of eternal life.
- The sinful nature of humanity: we are all sinners who need a Savior, Jesus Christ, to restore us to the right relationship with God.
- The atonement: Jesus Christ bore our sins when He shed His blood and died on the cross. He paid the price for our sins.
- The necessity for each individual to accept the gift of salvation of eternal life; by choosing to invite Jesus Christ into his or her life to be both Savior and Lord.
- The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer: He quickens from death to life and continues His work of sanctification during the lifetime of the Christian.
