|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Grown as a disciple of Jesus who joyfully submits to the authority of God’s Word and who builds movements of disciples who “truly follow Jesus” by embracing his Word in my life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deepened my understanding of the nature and attributes of God, the persons of the Trinity, the inspiration and authority of Scripture, and the person and work of the Holy Spirit as these doctrines are taught in Scripture and confessed by the church.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
now been better prepared to partner with those who hold differing theological views allowing for difference of opinion on matters not central to our Statement of Faith and calling while pointing people to a compelling center (i.e., Christ, the gospel and our mission).
