Tres Dias Essentials Training

Feb. 6th immediately
Following the 1st Team Meeting in Great Falls

Tres Dias Essentials Training will be held immediately following the February 6th team meeting and will be conducted by Garry Phelps, Tres Dias Montana. Garry has been certified by National to conduct the Essentials Training which is to be held within a Tres Dias Community every two years as outlined in the Charter agreement. "The Essentials ensure consistency and stability within the Tres Dias Movement. There must be certain essential aspects to which all Tres Dias organizations conform." (The Essentials Preamble)

Essentials training is open to ALL Pescadores. God, in His infinite Love and Mercy for us, is a God of order. It is helpful for all Pescadores to know the foundation that our Tres Dias weekends are built upon. Even if you are not planning to participate in the Team Meeting on February 6th you are welcome to attend the training session. The training will be about 2 1/2 hours and will start as soon as the team meeting concludes (about 1:00-1:30 p.m.).

TRES DIAS STATEMENT OF BELIEF
(Adopted by Big Sky Tres Dias)

For purposes of standards and principles, Tres Dias ascribes to those stated in the authorized Kings James Version of the Bible 1611 (KJV)
1. We believe and profess our faith in one Triune God - The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit (Mt 28:19).
2. We believe and profess that Jesus Christ is the only Savior and is God in the flesh (Jn 1:1, 14; 3:36 & Heb 2:17).
3. We believe and profess that the Holy Spirit is God and is The Lord and Giver of life, who continues to work in believers today to sanctify, edify and empower the whole Christian Church on earth -- for His purpose (Job 33:4, Acts 1:8, John 14:26 & Romans 8:11).
4. We believe and profess that the Holy Scriptures are the inspired and completely true Word of God (2 Ti 3:16-17).
5. We believe and profess that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; that forgiveness of sins is received through confession and repentance -- and that our sins are washed away through the blood of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38, 1 John 1:9 & Romans 3:23).
6. We believe and profess that salvation is a gift of God's grace received through personal faith in Jesus Christ. (Eph.2:8)
7. We believe and profess that the Body of Christ is to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of The Son of God (Eph. 4:3, 13)
8. We believe and profess that God's unconditional love, as made manifest to us through Jesus Christ, is the primary witness by which people are renewed, edified and changed (1 Cor. 13:8)
9. We believe and profess that God has called us to live holy lives that will bring glory to His name (Col. 3:1-25).
