God as eternal Father, Son and Holy Spirit<\/h4>\n

We believe in God as eternal Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God created and sustains the universe. The eternal purpose of God the Father is to create a people who will bring glory to God forever. God alone is worthy of worship.<\/p>\n

We believe that God became human in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to restore the world because humans have rejected God in disobedience. Jesus taught and modeled the way of God\u2019s kingdom. He died on the cross, making it possible for us to accept a renewed relationship with God. He rose from the dead, broke the power of sin and death and frees us to live in obedience to God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n

We believe that God the Holy Spirit invites all people to be reconciled with God and to join the global family of faith. Believers confess their faith, are baptized and join in the celebration of the Lord\u2019s Supper. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible, members of the church seek to live as followers of Christ and invite others to experience this new life.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Mennonite Brethren conference, McIvor Church adheres to the Mennonite Brethren Confession of Faith found here:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”MB Confession of Faith” color=”primary” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mennonitebrethren.ca%2Fmb-confession-of-faith%2F|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row inner_container=”true” no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”30px” border=”none” bg_color=”#f6f5f3″][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
