Welcome to I AM Church
At I AM Church, we believe faith can bring hope, purpose, and transformation to our lives and our communities. Here’s a look at what we believe and what guides us on this journey.
Our Foundation of Faith
The Bible: Our Guide
We believe the Bible is God’s inspired word, a source of truth and wisdom that speaks to us across all ages. More than just a historical book, it’s a timeless guide for living with hope, love, and purpose.
Knowing God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
We believe in one God who reveals Himself as Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit. This understanding, known as the Trinity, shows how God is both one and personal. Each part plays a unique role in our lives—offering love, guidance, and support in ways we can relate to.
Humanity’s Journey: Challenges and Hope
We believe all people are created in God’s image, made with purpose and dignity. However, we all face challenges and make mistakes, which creates a distance between us and God. But we also believe that through Jesus, there is hope and healing for every life.

The Heart of Our Faith
Jesus: Our Savior and Friend
At the center of our faith is Jesus, God’s Son, who came to earth to show us the depth of God’s love. Jesus lived a life without sin, and He willingly gave His life to forgive ours, offering us a fresh start and a close relationship with God. Through faith in Him, we can experience peace, purpose, and renewal.
The Holy Spirit: Our Guide and Strength
When we believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit becomes our personal guide, leading us in our day-to-day lives. Like a close friend, the Holy Spirit encourages, comforts, and empowers us to live with purpose and hope, helping us become more like Jesus in our actions and attitudes.

Living Out Our Faith Together
The Church: A Community of Believers
We see the church as more than a building—it’s a community of people united in faith, worship, and a desire to support one another. Together, we learn, grow, and work to make a positive impact, both in our neighborhood and beyond, sharing the love and hope we have found in Jesus.
Marriage: A Reflection of Jesus’ Love
We believe marriage is a partnership rooted in faith, modeled after Jesus’ love for His people. As Jesus demonstrated selfless love and commitment, marriage is a commitment between one man and one woman to love, serve, and support each other. Through this relationship, both partners are called to grow in faith and reflect God’s love to others.

Expressions of Faith
Baptism: A Fresh Start
Baptism is an outward expression of an inner change. Through baptism, we publicly commit to a new life with God, celebrating a fresh start and the hope of transformation.
Communion: Remembering Jesus’ Sacrifice
In communion, we take bread and juice to remember Jesus’ sacrifice and the love He showed on the cross. This simple act allows us to reflect on His love and reminds us of the hope and new life He offers.
