FAMILYWISE STATEMENT OF FAITH
WHAT WE BELIEVE...
ABOUT GOD
God is the one and only true God, yet He exists in three persons: God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is the Creator, so everything belongs to Him and
is under His control. God is holy, so He is righteous, majestic, and loving. God is all
knowing and purposeful, so He's at work to bring about His will. No person, thing, or
idea compares to God.
ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES
God reveals Himself to us through the Bible, and it is 100% accurate, reliable, and
authoritative.
ABOUT PEOPLE
People are made in God's image and for His pleasure. But everybody falls short of God's
intention, or ideal, for people. In other words, everyone has sinned. As a result, we
are all separated from Him, even though He wants an intimate relationship with each of us.
ABOUT SALVATION
That's why Jesus-God's Son-came and lived on this earth, died, and rose again. God offers
His free gift of salvation to all who believe in Jesus and accept Him as Savior-the only
way to be forgiven and reconciled to God. Anyone who accepts this gift is adopted as a son
or daughter into God's family and will live with Him forever in heaven.
