The Daily Shepherd - Statement of Faith

God: we believe in one infinitely perfect, eternal and personal God, the transcendent Creator and sovereign Sustainer of the universe.

Mankind: we believe God created mankind in His image and likeness to fellowship with Him and give Him glory. Human beings are therefore the crown of God's creation and thus distinct in kind from all other life on earth. Adam and Eve, the first human beings, chose to rebel against God and go their own way. As a result, all of mankind became separated from God. The only remedy for mankind's pitiful predicament is redemption through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Resurrection: we believe Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, conquering sin, death, and all the powers of Satan. Jesus Christ now resides at the right hand of the Father, and lives to indwell all who recognize their sinfulness, who repent, and who turn their lives over to His authority.

The Church: we believe the church is the spiritual body of Jesus Christ (its Founder, Head, and Shepherd) and that it encompasses all true believers at all times and places. The function of the church is to carry out the Lord's expressed will through the power of the Holy Spirit.
