What a sobering feeling after considering myself a believer for over a decade. It was pivotal moment in my relationship with Christ, one that I will always be grateful for.

I came into a relationship with Christ as a teen, and knew that I wanted to go deeper in my understanding of God and His Word. I asked for a Strong's Concordance for my 17th birthday. Remember those big books? HA!

My journey with Christ has been a roller coaster of deciphering what is true and what is false. There were many years of believing incorrect theology and misinterpreted scriptures. I am grateful for the ups and downs that brought me to where I am now: a place devoted to leading other women in the truth of God's Holy Word.

I will always be learning this side of heaven, and sharing with others is a joy!

I remember sitting in a seminary class and wondering if they were speaking a foreign language; words and phrases I had never heard before. I quickly realized I didn't know anything about God. I was theologically illiterate.

words to live by

You can’t love what you don’t know. You can’t know what you don’t study. There is no way to imitate Christ without knowing him.

I believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word of God. I further believe that the Bible is the final authority for faith and life.

I believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His personal return in power and glory.

I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling every Christian is able to live a godly life. I further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.

I believe that the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross is solely sufficient for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity. I further believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is necessary so that man might come to repentance from sin and, by faith, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

I am a covenant partner of RiverBend Church in my local community. I serve under the leadership of the executive pastoral team and shepherding elders. My core statement has been adapted from their statement of beliefs.

what i believe

core statement

I believe in the resurrection of both those who believe in Jesus and those who do not believe; those believing to eternal life with Christ and those unbelieving to eternal punishment in hell.

I believe that the church is a spiritual organism made up of all born again persons. I further believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures. I further believe in the autonomy of the local churches, free of any external authority and control. I recognize believer’s baptism and the Lord’s supper as Scriptural means of testimony for the church.

A relationship built on the knowledge of His goodness, mercy, grace, justice, wrath, forgiveness, holiness, and righteousness. While that may seem like a list of words, I believe that knowing how these words apply to God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) will help me in growing deeper in love with Him. Ultimately transforming my sinful heart to be more like the image bearer I was created to be.

I believe the God of all creation wants a relationship with me.
