By providing your signature, you are stating that you have read and understand our FAITH STATEMENT below and agree to abide by the rules and regulations of THE POINT Volunteer Program.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

• We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• We believe the Scriptures, in their original writings, to be infallible and the divine authority for Christian faith and life.
• We believe in the full humanity and full deity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory.
• We believe that humans were created in the image of God but became alienated from God because of sin. That eternal alienation can be removed only by accepting through faith God’s gift of salvation, which was made possible by Jesus Christ’s death, and that in Him is found the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of mankind.
• We believe that the Holy Spirit performs the miracle of spiritual new birth in unbelievers and indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives.
• We believe that saving faith will manifest itself in the form of good works that will contradict the self-centeredness of the world and bring attention to the person of Jesus Christ.
