We believe in God the creator of us all, whose desire for
diversity is seen in the rainbow of humanity. With unrelenting
passion God Seeks to be in relationship with all of us.
We believe in Jesus the Christ, who is the embodiment of
God’s redeeming grace; And in the Holy Spirit through whom
that grace continues its restoring work.
We believe in the Church. It is the body of Christ on the earth
today. As ministers of this church, we are all called like Jesus,
to heal, to deliver, to teach, and to serve.
We believe that together we can change the world,
in our time and for all time Amen!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Be still, and know that I am God. The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. PSALMS 46:1-5, 9-11
This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In
repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your
strength, but you would have none of it.” Yet the LORD longs to be
gracious to you; God rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is
a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! ISAIAH 30:15,18
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will
soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will
walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40:31
That day when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go
over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him
along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with
him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat,
so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on
a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t
you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to
the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was
completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid?
Do you still have no faith? MARK 4:35-40
