Statement of Faith
1.) God
He is the self-existent one. (Gen.1:1 and Exod.3:14)
God is three persons, one spirit. Proof: One spirit,
John 4.24 "God is spirit" singular. Three persons: 1 Pet 1:2-3 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying
work of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: may grace and peace be yours in fullest measure.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living
hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (NAS).

gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, was in you. On the day that you were created they were prepared. "You were the
