Our Personal
|
We would first and foremost affirm the historic statement of our Christian heritage as found in both the Apostle´s and Nicene creeds. In addition to these summaries of belief, we would add a particular emphasis to the ongoing task of all Christians to fulfill our Lord´s Great Commission to proclaim Christ to all nations so that all may receive Him as their personal Lord and Savior and become mature disciples in the faith; ever increasing in their love for God and their neighbor through lives of personal and social holiness.
