It is difficult to improve upon generations within the church that have struggled to put definition to their faith with pen and paper. I must default to both the Nicene and Apostle's Creeds, as they have such beautiful truths and language that I cannot improve upon.
As far as denominational affiliation, I am member of Good Shepherd Church in Fergus Falls, MN, which is part of the Lutheran Brethren Church of America. I have attended Moody Bible Institute and University of Northwestern College, St. Paul where I have received additional training.
