Statement of Faith

Ron Strohe

I believe that there is only one God, but three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That God created the heavens and the earth and all living things, seen and unseen.

Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus Christ suffered and died for my sins and the sins of all mankind. After three days He rose from the grave, giving eternal life to all who believe in Him. That He ascended to Heaven and sits on the right hand of God, our Father. He will return to take all who believe in Him, to be with Him eternally.

That the Holy Spirit, was given to us upon our confession of Jesus Christ, as our Savior. The Holy Spirit which resides in every believer, guides, counsels, and speaks to us, according to the Father's Will.

I believe that all Scripture is the inspired Word of God. That by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, men wrote the words spoken to them. Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training people into leading a righteous life before God.

The church is the body of Jesus Christ and He is the head of the church. Taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ into the world is the church's mission. The church is not a building but each member is the church, the body of Christ.

I believe that through the Sacraments we come to a oneness with God. As in the Sacrament of Baptism, we receive the redeeming Grace of God. In baptism we are made one with Jesus Christ, leading to a new life.

The Lord's Supper provides God's grace to all believers. We are reminded of the great sacrifice Jesus endured for all mankind. The bread and juice are elements that represent the body of Jesus broken for us and the juice represents His blood shed for us. This for our sake so that we can be made righteous and Holy before God.

Even though marriage is considered a covenant, I believe it is an important part of the church. For marriage is the gift from God in developing a family. It involves a loving commitment in front of God and witnesses. Traditionally this relationship is between a man and woman, this union creates the family which is the core to our society.

Also send us any joys you'd like to share or prayer requests for your church activities or programs. If your church is in a parish, we'd also appreciate information on the benefits you feel parish membership has brought to the parish churches.
