Statement of Faith and Values

 STATEMENT OF FAITH


WE BELIEVE…The only true God, existing eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE…The Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative word of God.

WE BELIEVE…The value and dignity of all people, each created in God’s image and yet alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt.

WE BELIEVE…Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who lived as a perfect example, assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place, and was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.

WE BELIEVE…God’s grace which justifies all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

WE BELIEVE…The presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit, and the unity of all believers in Jesus Christ.

RELATIONSHIPS

At Jobs for Life, we pursue genuine friendships with individuals, businesses, and churches to care for, encourage, and lift up one another.

Hebrews 10:24-25 | 1 Corinthians 12:25-27

LONG-SUFFERING

At Jobs for Life, we recognize we’re walking a journey, not running a race, trusting that God will provide over our long journey. Whether we face triumphs or hardships, we celebrate that He works in His timing, not ours.

James 1:2-4 | Romans 5:3-5

PRAYER

At Jobs for Life, we devote ourselves to prayer knowing that prayer results in unity, thanksgiving, confessions of sins, blessings, and discovering God’s will. We pray in times of distress, we give thanks and praise in times of joy, and we continually pray for those we serve.

Thessalonians 5:16-18 | John 14:13-14

HUMILITY

At Jobs for Life, we humbly seek to embody a life of service, generosity, and sacrifice, recognizing the work of others.

John 3:30 | Philippians 2:3

EXCELLENCE

At Jobs for Life, we strive for excellence in all of our endeavors, not for our own glory, but for the Glory of God.

Philippians 4:8-9 | Colossians 3:23-24

REST

By resting, we stop to enjoy God and His creation, celebrate the work He has done, and acknowledge He’s in charge, not us. While He works powerfully in and through us, our work is not up to us. It’s up to Him. The only way we can keep from being enslaved by our work is to make rest a regular part of the way we work.

Genesis 2:2-3 | Matthew 11:28-30
