Statement of Faith:
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and a component of the simple yet complex Trinity of the only one true God. I have accepted Jesus Christ into my heart and am continually renewed by the Holy Spirit on life鈥檚 ongoing journey of surrendering my will to the will of the Father. I believe in eternal life with the Lord in Heaven that was bought through the Son of God dying for my sins. These truths were given to us from the Word of God which is found in the Bible.
My Christian faith is strengthened daily as I maintain an active personal relationship with Christ through unceasing prayer, studying my Bible, and remembering that I am a Child of God made in His image. I strive to do His will and am fortunate enough to frequently receive miracles or become aware of how I am being used for His greater good.
I have been a member of the Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church for the last 15 years. I am thrilled to incorporate my faith and God鈥檚 truths into the study of child and human development.
