2. The Triune God2. The Triune God
God who has been there from
the beginning of time has been
actively at work in the
community but whose presence
has not been felt by the marred
and fallen image of its people.
The Church’s integral mission takes its cue from the triune God
who has modeled a collaborative approach from creation,
redemption, sanctification, and yes, even unto glorification.
