About the United Christian Fellowship
We are not out to convince you that all this necessarilly “makes sense.” It is however the only thing that we believe can make sense of everything else.
We are not out to convince you that following Jesus is easy, but we would like to suggest it makes life less impossible.
Jesus
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe he is God in human flesh born of Mary,
We believe he lived among us
preaching the good news to the poor
he died on a Roman Cross
and rose again from the grave
to free us from the power of evil and death
As we seek through grace to be more like Jesus
and grow in his likeness
we also look confidently for the day
when he will restore and reconcile all in a community of love and justice
By knowing and believing in Jesus
we understand that His Father,
the creator of all that is,
who called Abraham and Sarah
who freed the children of Israel from slavery
who spoke through the prophets of justice and mercy
who loves humankind with an everlasting love
who raised Jesus from the dead
is our Father too
The Holy Spirit
Jesus promised to us who believe in him
that his spirit
the Holy Spirit be would with us always
to lead us in the path of perfect freedom
The Trinity
We believe these three persons
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
are all one God
living eternally in mutual love
The Church
We believe there is one church
of which Christ is the head and founder
and all who are baptized
in the name of the Trinity
are Christ’s body on earth
called to spread abroad the love of God for the world
The Gift that Jesus gives
We believe that Jesus came into the world to heal a broken humanity
from the bondage to death, evil and sin
we believe that salvation is a gift freely offered
which can not be earned or repayed
