Hidden Splendor Ministries is here to uplift, inspire and encourage individuals to know, love, serve and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through prayer, the study of His Word, and action taken in faith, each of us can live a life that is pleasing to Him.
We Believe…
- in the deity of God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit, and that they make up the Godhead- three in one.
- the Bible is the inspired revelation and Word of God.
- God created all things from nothing and mankind was created in His image.
- every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God.
- that we are saved by Grace through faith. We cannot earn our salvation, it is a gift from God. But we must be willing to receive it by faith.
- forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to all through Jesus Christ. Jesus paid the price of our sins through his crucifixion, suffering, death and resurrection. He ascended to the Father’s right hand where He is head of the church, intercedes for believers and has promised His imminent return for us. Those accepting Jesus should repent of sin, confess their faith and be baptized (immersed) for the forgiveness of sins.
