Our Affirmation of Faith
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!

Bridge I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ll see You do it again OH (pause) (Chorus 2x)
Outro: Oh, You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:10-14
