Here are the core beliefs that guide my life and work, supported by scripture:
1. The Bible is the Inspired Word of God
I believe the Bible is the living, inspired word of God, serving as a guide for our lives and faith.
“All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)
2. God is Love
God is love, and love should be the foundation of the Christian faith. Our actions and interactions should reflect His love.
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” (1 John 4:8)
3. Grace
We are living under grace, not the Law. Grace is a gift from God, enabling us to live in freedom and truth.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift from God.” (Ephesians 2:8)
4. Unity Among All
Unity is essential among all believers and humankind. We are called to live in harmony and support one another.
“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (Ephesians 4:3)
5. Equality
God created every person equally. In His eyes, we are all valued and loved regardless of our differences.
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)
6. Abundant Living
Abundant Living means embracing the fullness of life that God desires for us. Abundance is not just about material wealth — though it includes to— it also includes living our passions, fulfilling our purpose, and experiencing freedom for our souls, along with love, relationships, joy, and spiritual fulfillment.
"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10:10)
7. Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity is a gift, and inclusion is a practice of love. Embracing our differences enriches our lives, communities, and the world and reflects the beauty of God’s creation and His creativity.
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne before the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:9)
8. Justice
Justice is at the heart of God’s character. We are called to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)
9. Creativity
God is the ultimate creator, and creativity is a reflection of His image in us. We are called to be creators in our own right, using our talents to bring beauty and innovation into the world.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Crist Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)
10. Science
Science and faith coexist, as both seek to uncover truth and understanding. God is the creator of the universe, and scientific discovery can reveal His wonders.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)
