Statement of Faith
I Believe ….
I believe in God, Creator of all that is,
Generous Giver of life and love
Who loves unconditionally and delights in all of Creation.
I believe in the Mystery of Incarnation –
That in Immense and Extraordinary Love,
The Creator came to dwell among us in human form
To experience all that humanity experiences –
Including suffering, ridicule, betrayal, and persecution –
So that we could know that in good and bad, life and death,
We are not alone because
The Incredible Love that is God is always with us
And knows intimately what we are experiencing.
I believe Creator Love is eternally with us,
Saturating all of Creation with beauty
Inviting all living souls to abide
in that Immense and Incredible Love
and in loving community with one another.
I believe that nothing can separate us from the power of Creator’s Love even when we choose to ignore and reject all that Creator Love is and freely offers.
I believe in the Holy Mystery of eternity; Creator Love; and Life everlasting.
