UBF Statement of Faith: What Are Our Core Beliefs?

Description

This seminar explores the foundational beliefs that shape who we are and what we believe, using our Statement of Faith. In the past several years, we have heard the discouraging news about the splits of major church denominations over the differences of their members’ beliefs on some issues such as same-sex marriage. Where do we stand on some of these controversial issues?

This seminar will examine key doctrines including the Trinity, the authority of Scripture, salvation through Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit's work in our lives. This session is open to those who want to explore the core beliefs of UBF, especially the second and third gen members of our community.
