Statement of faith

I hold to the Apostles Creed.  This is my profession of faith;

Apostles’ Creed

---

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary:

Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:

On the third day he rose again from the dead:

He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead:

I believe in the Holy Spirit:

I believe in the worldwide Church, the Body of Christ of whom Christ is the head: the communion of believers in Christ:

The forgiveness of sins:

The resurrection of the body:

And the life everlasting. Amen.

I am a left brain person who likes logic and fact, but I’m also a bit of a dreamer.  My belief in Christ is not blind, but rational, based on observation, experience, history and fact.  For what belief cannot prove, I have faith.

I worship at Te Puna O Waiora Church.  I believe in local churches where the pastor knows everyone.  I hate the prosperity gospel.

My gifts are discernment, writing and faith.  These I hope to serve you with.
