Our Faith
Nicene Creed
**“Truly, we believe in one God, God the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God; begotten, not created; of one essence with the Father, through whom all things were made.
Who, for us humans and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into the heavens and sat at the right hand of His Father, and He shall come again in His glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.
Yes, we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giver, who proceeds from the Father; we worship and glorify Him with the Father and the Son.
Who spoke through the prophets.
And in one holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic Church.
We confess one baptism for the remission of sins, and we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come. Amen.”**
- There is one eternal God, the Creator of all things, who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- The Bible is the inspired and the only infallible rule and the ultimate guide for faith and practice.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in the bodily resurrection for the final judgment and in eternal reward.
- Humankind was created in the image of God (male and female). This image was marred in every part through the disobedience of our first parents, and fellowship with God was broken.
- The Holy Spirit is God present and active in the world. The Holy Spirit was given to the church in His fullness at Pentecost. By the Spirit, Christ lives in His church, the gospel is proclaimed, and the kingdom of God is manifested in the world.
- God calls all people to believe in Christ's redemptive work and turn to him in repentance. Believers are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ and born again as children of God. Believers are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit following a testimony of their faith and conversion.
- The Church is the people of God composed of all those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Church is Christ’s body; it is visible in the world wherever believers, in obedience of faith, hear the Word, and live as disciples of Christ.
The saved will be resurrected unto eternal life, and those who reject Jesus Christ unto eternal damnation. God desires that all be saved.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see transformed lives and thriving communities where newcomers experience belonging, dignity, and the hope of the Gospel. We envision a world where every refugee and immigrant discovers purpose, faith, and a pathway to flourish as part of God’s family.
Our Mission
Our mission is to follow the example of Jesus by demonstrating His love through action—serving refugees and immigrants as they rebuild their lives in a new culture. Through practical assistance, language development, and community fellowship, we seek to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while guiding people to a personal relationship with Christ.
