I Am — In Christ

I Am — In Christ

I am, because You are;
we are, therefore I am.

In Christ, I am predestined
to be conformed to the image of His Son,
that He might be the Firstborn
among many brothers and sisters.

In Him, I am the light of the world,
shining in darkness,
bringing sight to the blind.

In Him, I am the salt of the earth,
for by His life within me
is all savour and sweetness.

In Him, I am the branch that bears fruit,
revealing the beauty of the Vine—
the visible expression of God’s glory.

I am as He has made me:
created in His image,
formed after His likeness.

I am what He says I am.
I am who I am, only in Christ Jesus;
and He alone is the One who says,
“I AM.”

Statement of Faith

We believe in Christ alone, grace alone, Scripture alone, faith alone, and to the glory of God alone.

We believe in the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and in the full authority of the Bible as God’s Word.

We also affirm the importance of human responsibility in our relationship with God. We do not believe salvation is earned by our works. Salvation is God’s free gift, received by grace through faith—yet genuine faith is never fruitless; it produces works of love.
