Faith Statement

Matthew 28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

The field of psychology helps us to understand the development of man’s mental processes and thus the perceptions of God and how we can address man’s need of a Savior at different developmental Stages.
