    In our baptismal covenant, we commit to belief in God, participating in the Church's life, resisting evil, sharing the Gospel, and ultimately doing all of this out of love.

    What in the world is our baptismal covenant? It starts with the Apostles Creed. Do you believe in God the Father? Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? What we believe about God is the first and foundational part of our Baptismal Covenant. It is ...read more

They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. We also do not require water baptism for membership. Why do we say this? Being saved ...read more

What both were saying is that behind our labor is a passion to ...read more
