Statement of Faith
We confess that we are disciples of Jesus Christ, and we accept as a primary value God’s commandment to love God and our neighbor.
We practice love for our God by loving our neighbor, following the example of Jesus. ‘Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Our neighbors are these ‘little brothers,’ those who are deprived of the opportunity to develop their natural abilities due to poverty, illness, without marginalized, denied, discriminated against, sought, and living in inhumane conditions of pain and darkness.
JESUS HAS SENT US HIS HOLY SPIRIT
We confess that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us so that we can bring the good news to the poor, heal the wounded, proclaim freedom to the captives, and comfort the brokenhearted. We practice these confessions with fear and humility, as good stewards of God. We confess that the kingdom of God is not limited by a physical place, but also dwells in our hearts. We believe that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy, and we confess that our mission is to be the builders of the Kingdom of God.
We confess. All our work is a manifestation of the living action of the Holy Spirit in the world. Our ultimate reason for existence on earth is ‘Soli Deo Gloria,’ which means “For the Glory of God”.
