| OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH |
| WE BELIEVE: 1. In one triune God, of one substance, in the persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, God being the Creator of all, the prime mover of the universe. 2. That the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, shining forth God to every person through the law and the prophets, and finally completely and ultimately on earth, in the being of Jesus Christ. 3. That Jesus, The Christ, historically recorded as living some 2,000 years before this writing, is the Creator's most Divine Son, born of Women, that by total subservience to God, the Creator, Jesus has demonstrated once and forever that all people are Children of God, being spiritually made in God's image. 4. That the Holy Spirit is God making known God's love and interest to all people. The Holy Spirit is God, available to and working through all whom are willing to place their welfare in God's keeping. 5. Every person is justified by Grace to God through faith in Jesus Christ. 6. We are saved from loneliness, despair and degradation through God's gift of grace, as was declared by our Master. Such grace is not earned, but is a pure gift of God of pure love. We further commend the Fellowship of the Faithful to a life of prayer, to seek genuine forgiveness for unkind, thoughtless and unloving acts, and to a committed life of Christian service. 7. The church serves to bring all people to God through Christ, by providing worship services, prayer, interpretation of the scripture, and edification through the teaching and preaching of the Word. |

| THE STORY OF A PUMPKIN |
| Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff, including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see. |
| REMEMBER |
| The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.The one who kneels to the Lord, can stand up to anything. |
| PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. |
