WHAT WE BELIEVE

WE BELIEVE the Bible is the authentic, written Word of God, true in everything it affirms.  Scripture is the only infallible guide to faith and practice.

WE BELIEVE there is one true God; revealed in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord.  Born of a virgin, He gave himself to be crucified so that our sins may be forgiven.

WE BELIEVE each individual must personally receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

WE BELIEVE Jesus rose bodily from the dead and returned into heaven, where He now is making intercession for us.  We believe Jesus will return to earth, visibly and physically, in judgment, and that believers will be with Him for eternity.

WE BELIEVE the power of the Holy Spirit enables the church to live its faith before the world, testifying in word and work to the life-changing capability of the Lord Jesus Christ.

FAITH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH EXISTS TO:

• Exalt God in worship and prayer
• Enjoy together our life in Jesus Christ
• Educate God's people in faithful discipleship
• Equip and Encourage God's people to serve
• Evangelize the world

"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."

~ Galatians 6:14

NOTES FROM THE PASTOR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  We would certainly like it to be a happy one, though the economic outlook is somewhat dim, the political landscape is rocky, and the spiritual future is troubling.  Our own path for the future is one that seems to be leading us away from our denomination (the Presbyterian church (USA)) and into a new body, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, which is more in line with our Biblical, theological foundation.  This promises to be an intense process, to say the least, but we are hopeful that it will go smoothly.

         So is there any hope of a “happy new year”?  Yes!  Because whatever the economic, political, or spiritual prospects may be, God is in control.  Why is it we keep forgetting that?  God has promised that He will never leave us or forsake us.  Jesus promised that He would be with us always, even to the end of the age.  God has the situation well in hand, if we will only trust Him and follow Him.  Maybe we need to have a “non-Christmas carol” to sing all year long as a reminder: “He’s got the whole world in His hands.”

         I do not intend to promote a  Pollyanna attitude, but I do want us to hold on to the promises of God.  The economy may be in the dumper, but God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and He will provide – He is our provider.  Politics may be in its usual turmoil, but we serve the King of kings and Lord of lords, and we are citizens of a perfect Kingdom with Jesus at its head.  We might find ourselves in a spiritual wilderness, but the Lord is our Shepherd, and He will lead us – even through the valley of the shadow of death.  Trust in the Lord, and He will never disappoint us.

         We can look forward to this year if we look to God.  It can be a year of renewal, of joy, of peace, and of growth, if we follow Jesus.  And we need to do that.  Apart from Jesus we can do nothing.  Apart from Jesus we will go nowhere.  Apart from Jesus, we are lost.  The solution is simple – never be apart from Jesus.  May God bless you in the coming year.
