The United Faith Church

Our Statements of Beliefs constitute our basic beliefs. We are an open minded community of believers who constantly renew our commitment to a deeper understanding of God and his will for us. In the Joy of Salvation we freely Fellowship and Worship in Christian Unity. We believe in the Freedom of Choice, being individually responsible before God for our lives, thoughts, and actions. Christians hold various views based upon our Spiritual Gifts, abilities to understand scriptures, past teachings, and national origins. We therefore advocate Freedom of Religion, seeking answers through study, prayer, and guidance by the Holy Spirit. Having, great love and admiration for each other without respect for wealth, race, gender, age, social status, or doctrinal differences. We are committed to seeking the Will of God in our lives and faithfully dedicating our life to the service of Jesus Christ that we may be helpers in the Joy of Salvation. God is the creator of all that is being eternal omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent whose fullness is beyond all human conceptions. Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah, born of the Virgin Mary, who died for the sins of all mankind as our loving and merciful Savior. He was then resurrected and ascended to heaven and will at the appointed time return to Earth to establish the Kingdom of God. He is deserving of great Honor, Glory, and Reverence of which every knee should bow. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter promised by Jesus Christ, that lives inside of us, guiding in all truths to Salvation. The Bible is the infallible inspired Word of God containing his plan of Salvation for mankind and is the foundation of knowlege and the final authority of faith, life, truth, and happiness. Salvation is the deliverance from the bondage of sin, our atonement to God with the assurance of eternal life. Salvation is a free unmerited gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Grace is the free, unmerited gift of eternal life which God gives to those who have a change of heart and start a new life in Christ. Through faith in Christ we are always under the umbrella of grace. Christians are people acting in faith who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and in whom the Holy Spirit lives inside creating a new birth. This new birth lives a different life by following the footsteps of Christ and shows Christian fruits of the Holy Spirit as evidence.

The United Faith Church is a non-denominational association of Christians supporting each other in edification, fellowship, and worship in Christian unity. We promote the building and strengthening of Christian Communities in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the World. As part of our Mission, we are obligated to teach Biblical Truths. In doing so, we advocate freedom of choice, even as God gave Adam and Eve freedom of choice, so, we will never stand between you and God. Nor, will not force you to believe something contrary to what you want to believe. This Church and Ministry does not engage in practicing public ridicule, criticism, or disfellowshipping. We believe all Christians have varying callings from God, and are given spiritual gifts to fulfill their callings. God chooses to call who he will, or to use any instrument, to accomplish his will.

"You'll find Jesus there," the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up annoyed. "I'll cut your heart open," he continued, "to see how much damage has been done..." "But when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there." "The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly." "When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up and I'll plan what to do next." "But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart." The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. I'll find out if I can make you well." "You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there." The surgeon left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery,"...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration. No hope for a transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis: Here he paused, "death within one year." He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud. "Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?" The Lord answered and said, "The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow." The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. "You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. Why?" The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for he has done his duty! I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb." The surgeon wept. The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?" "Yes," said the surgeon. "What did you find?" asked the boy. "I found Jesus there," said the surgeon.~Author Unknown Celebrate Jesus in 2001 ! If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow these directions. Jesus said, "if you are ashamed of me," I will be ashamed of you before my Father." If you are not ashamed, pass this on, only if you mean it. "Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without him, I am nothing, but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." (Phil 4:13) This is a simple test if you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you. _________________________________________________________________ Rev.
