What We Believe
Trinity is in the process of putting into words our deeply held beliefs and values. The following is a representation of the work to date.
(Trinity community: Please feel free to send comments to trinityalaskaweb@gmail.com for consideration by the writing committee. Please include your name and a way to contact you.)
We believe…
that God intends our faith, while personal and intimate, to be grown and expressed in covenant community.
that the Old and New Testaments of the Bible represent God’s fully human and fully divine revelation to humanity, and are ‘useful in teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.’
that we stand under scripture’s authority, in accountability to one another, and are guided by the movement of the Holy Spirit.
that Jesus is God’s only begotten son, fully human and fully God.
that the church is God’s mission community existing to glorify him through: worship, service, fellowship, outreach and discipleship.
that the church’s core mission and purpose is to, ‘Go into the world…and make disciples.’
that when we were astray, at great cost, Christ provided relationship and redemption.
that we were meant, because of Christ’s mercy toward us, to live for others, particularly ‘the least.’
that worship is the faith community’s honest response to what God has been doing in their lives through the week.
that what is unseen is more real than that which is seen.
that this earth is a gift from God entrusted to us as stewards of its health and resources.
