Youth Pastor
Agape Presbyterian Church
2460 Old Crow Canyon Rd, San Ramon, CA 94583 USA MAP
| Demographic: | Korean, multi-ethnic |
|---|---|
| Statement Of Faith: | We Believe in one God, who exists in three Persons — the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is loving, holy and just. We Believe the Bible is God’s Word. It is inspired and accurate. It is our perfect guide in all matters of life. We Believe sin has separated us all from God, and that only through Jesus Christ can we be reconciled to God. We Believe Jesus Christ is both God and Man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He led a sinless life, took all our sins upon Himself, died and rose again. Today, He is seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Mediator. We Believe that salvation is the gift of God to man. This gift comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and it produces works pleasing to God. We Believe that baptism by water is an outward act that demonstrates a believer’s identification with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We Believe the Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He guides us in all areas of our lives. He also blesses us with spiritual gifts and empowers us to yield the fruits of the Spirit. We Believe the Holy Communion is a celebration of Jesus Christ’s death and our remembrance of Him. We Believe God wants to transform, heal and prosper us, so that we can live blessed and victorious lives that will impact and influence others and our community. We Believe we are called to preach the gospel to all nations. We Believe our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again just as He promised. |
