While the Festival is not a church nor exists other than promote and put on the Festival each year, we recognize that it is important for church participants, sponsors and volunteers understand what we believe as a group. There is a variety in the churches participating, which is wonderful and exciting, and we believe each church participant comes together to celebrate God’s overwhelming love, His unending mercies, and His unparalleled grace.
Though we represent many denominations, we choose to respect each other’s unique traditions and customs while praising our one and only God: expressing our thankfulness for the debt Jesus paid for each of us individually on the cross, and welcoming the empowering nature of the Holy Spirit in each of our lives on a daily basis.
We believe in the triune nature of God the Father, God the Son, and God as the Holy Spirit. We believe that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. We believe that salvation is by faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
In harmony, we lift one voice to You Father God asking that You encourage each who attends Faith Festival to either celebrate their salvation – or to investigate God’s plan and calling on their life. We join with saints and angels everywhere proclaiming that Jesus Christ is indeed risen, is indeed alive, and is indeed active in the life of each of His children. Lastly, we believe Jesus Christ will indeed return again for His beloved and is now even calling on and preparing each of us: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock…” Open the door of your heart: “Invite Me in, answer My call on your life.”
Mission Verse: “I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one spirit just as you were called to one hope when you were called one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all”. – Ephesians 4: 1-6
