Here’s a statement of faith written by Lisa Frenz.
Testimony
of Faith
Into the silence of the void the Creator spoke,
and the world came into being.
The Word of God in the vastness brought light from
darkness,
matter from nothing,
flesh from dust,
life from lifelessness.
In the quiet of a small town in Palestine
In the quiet of a small town in Palestine
the Word of God came to us.
Even though of one being with the Creator,
Jesus our Christ, taking on human form, was born,
lived and walked among us,
speaking the words of life.
He was crucified, died, and was buried.
He rose from the dead and speaks to us today.
He is the one who saves us from ourselves.
In the stillness of our souls the Spirit of God,
In the stillness of our souls the Spirit of God,
who is one with the Creator and the Christ,
whispers the Word,
and calls us back to the Creator,
back to the Christ,
back to the wholeness of everlasting life
in the unity of the Creator, Christ and Spirit.
