about . . . the Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent from God to reveal God, convince people of wrong doing, empower God’s people, and accentuate the beauty of God’s unique Son, Jesus.

The Spirit permeates or indwells the lives of all believers, equipping them for service, stimulating them to worship, and empowering them to share the message of hope and human salvation.

The Spirit teaches, comforts, and equips us with a diversity of gifts. Likewise, he fosters unity, Christ-like character, holiness, and faith. It is through His presence and manifestations that otherwise spiritually lifeless people are spiritually animated and led to eternal life through faith in Jesus.
