The Emmaus Center Statement of Faith
There exists only one God, creator and sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally co-existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Both Old and New Testaments of the Bible are God’s inspired and authoritative Word for faith and practice in all matters.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was sent by God to save a fallen humanity. According to His plan, Jesus Christ died for us providing the only means for justification, forgiveness, and salvation for all who believe.
We affirm the deity, atoning death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. Those who believe in Him are born of the Holy Spirit and will have eternal life.
The Holy Spirit is sent from God to help convict, transform, renew, comfort, guide and enable believers to live in ways that honor Jesus Christ.
Prayer is a way to communicate with God and develop a personal relationship with Him. Faith in prayer contributes to the healing process for emotional, spiritual and relational wholeness and well-being.
