My Statement of Faith
I believe we are called to serve God and each other, fostering a community of compassion and love.
In life, Jesus offered us the most perfect example of moral conduct and sought to dismantle barriers. He revealed the threads of our humanity as He taught us to seek connections that transcend society’s divisions. His life served as a guiding light, illustrating the virtues of compassion, humility and forgiveness. Through his teachings, I strive to mold my character, aspiring to live a life of purpose and integrity. Love, as exemplified by Jesus, has the power to fortify all aspects of existence, and I firmly believe in its transformative strength.
I affirm my belief in the Trinity – God, Jesus/Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They are distinct entities yet unified in substance. While I accept that life isn’t fair, I trust in Jesus’ promise that through Him we will ultimately discover justice and liberation. I believe that our existence transcends the finite, echoing Jesus’ message that life is eternal and interconnected.
The takeaway from the threefold model of God is the foundational importance of relationship. God the "Father" is generally associated with the Creator, with Jesus being the incarnation of God. The Holy Spirit is the comforting presence of God sent to soothe our souls following the departure of Jesus from this Earth.
​
I hold that humanity is precious, and everyone is a unique creation who deserves respect and dignity and the chance to thrive. Life is a divine gift, and I approach its sacred nature with gratitude. Through faith, I seek forgiveness for my shortcomings.
My faith rests upon the principles of service, eternal interconnectedness, the transformative power of love and moral guidance from the life of Jesus.
