God the Father
What we believe
The eternal Father is Creator, Source, Sustainer and Sovereign of all creation. He is just and holy, yet merciful, gracious, patient and rich in faithful love. The character and power seen in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are also the character and power of the Father.
In Jesus we see that the Father can be trusted as both holy King and loving Parent.
