What our churches agree on (Statement of Faith):
-- Based upon the authority of the Word of God --
We believe in one God, existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the true Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
We believe in the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross as the only acceptable sacrifice for our sins and that all who put their faith & trust in Him are justified as a result of his death & resurrection.
Please note that there is a cost associated with being a partner of .50 cents per person of your average Sunday attendance. This is to help offset the cost of all the projects for ShareFest. No churches or individuals receive any of this money, 100% goes to supporting the ShareFest projects and this year's designated agencies.
