Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit enables us to use our spiritual gifts to best serve as the church. We believe that all the gifts described in the New Testament are still active today and are given to strengthen the church and point people to Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is not only the giver of gifts but also the One who empowers, convicts, comforts, leads, and transforms us into the image of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Ephesians 4:11-13, Romans 12:6-8, Ephesians 4:11-13, Acts 2:17-18
