Our Foundation
We as a ministry abide in the following statements of faith:
THE BIBLE - We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, complete as the revelation of God's will for salvation, and the supreme and final authority in all matters to which they speak.
THE TRINITY - We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit; that these are equal and perfect in every divine attribute and that they execute distinct and harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.
GOD THE FATHER
We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men and women, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe that Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son, and fully possesses the same nature and attributes as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He is not only true God, but true Man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. We believe in His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, visible, pre-millennial return from heaven. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Way, the Truth, the Life - He is Everything, and He makes all the difference in the world!
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit, co-equal with the Father and the Son. We believe in His personality and His work in regeneration, sanctification and preservation. His ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and implement Christ's work of redeeming the lost. He also empowers the believer for godly living and service through the giving of spiritual gifts.
SALVATION - We believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This salvation is based upon the sovereign grace of God, and was purchased by Christ on the cross, and is received through faith apart from any human merit, works, or ritual. We believe God created humanity, male and female, in the image of God and free from sin. As a result of the fall, we further believe all persons are sinners by nature and choice and are, in that, spiritually dead. We also believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates those who repent of sin and trust Jesus Christ as Savior.
CHRISTIAN CONDUCT - We believe that the supreme task of every believer is to glorify God in life and conduct and be blameless before the world. Each Christian should seek to be a growing disciple of Jesus Christ in every area of life, a faithful steward of all possessions, time, ability and spiritual gifts, and should seek to realize in every area of life the full stature of maturity in Christ.
LAST THINGS - We believe that Jesus Christ will personally come again in power and glory to receive His Church to Himself and to establish His millennial kingdom. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and lost, and that Jesus Christ will judge both the living and the dead. We believe that the saved will live with Christ eternally in heaven while the lost stand condemned already to eternal punishment in hell.

The Director: Paul is just someone who has been loved by God, and
highly impressed by the grace available through the blood of Christ. May
we live in such a way, that others not only notice the grace of God, but
obtain it for themselves. Paul has worked extensively in construction,
and with his heart for giving others grace, has a vision to build an employ-
ment and discipleship support network.

The Administrator: Jared moved to Denver almost two years ago after
spending most of his childhood days growing up in Colorado Springs. Miracu-
lously healed from Bi-polar disorder three years ago he now lives to serve
the Lord God with all his heart. By day he works to rebuild Friends In Tran-
sition. By night he hangs out with the homeless in Denver. With a God given
heart for the 'least of these,' Jared believes prison ministry to be a perfect
fit for his gifts.
