Life Verse
Galatians 2:20-21
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Over the past two decades, Gretchen has served as a teacher, mentor, pastor, and disciple-maker and is a cherished voice of encouragement, counsel, and instruction to women around the world.

I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is inerrant in the original manuscripts.
I believe the Scriptures have been preserved by God and used to create a Bible that is the divinely authoritative standard for all creation.
I believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God. I believe God is the absolute and sole creator of the universe and that creation was by divine command. I believe that God sent Christ into the world to save sinners out of His indescribable love for His children.
I believe in the death and shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that by way of the cross He made a perfect atonement for sin and redeemed all from the curse of the law by receiving that curse for us. All people are saved and justified by Christ and Christ alone. I believe salvation with the forgiveness of sins is entirely apart from good works, baptism, or church membership. Our only hope of new life in Christ is solely through God’s gift of grace, which He extends to all who believe in Him.
I believe it should be every Christian’s desire to be a disciple of Jesus Christ by growing in spiritual maturity through the knowledge of Him, through obedience to the Word of God, and in submission to the Holy Spirit, who indwells and seals all those who come to faith in Christ.
