STATEMENT OF FAITH
The image of God in every human being is the primary foundation, driving force, and central
focus of Sunnyside Transformation Yakima Valley in all of its efforts.
The basic biblical mandate for developing and expressing the universal human calling to be the
image of God is in Genesis 1:26-27, especially verses 27-28. The mandate is repeated and
more specifically defined in Genesis 2:15.
This universal, never rescinded mandate, like everything and everyone, has been distorted by
sin. Among the results are: perpetual widespread unemployment, lack of opportunity to
develop skills to be more productive in satisfying, self-supporting daily work; widespread loss
of dignity, hope, and God-honoring quality of life when pervasive lack of productive self-
supporting daily work creates dependency and fatalistic lethargy and apathy.
Failure among Christian leaders to affirm highly motivated successful ordinary Monday
through Friday daily work, as the single most dominant and primary way most people can
respond to God’s mandate to express the God-imitating image He has implanted in every
human being makes everyone, including Christians, susceptible to the following inducements:
 Accepting an unbiblical hierarchy among different kinds of daily work, often going so
far as to calling some sacred and others secular, or speaking of only a few narrowly
defined full-time specialized Christian-ministry vocations as being spiritual.
 Accepting and doing little or nothing about high levels of unemployment which rob
unemployed and underemployed people of the ability to respond obediently and
joyfully to God’s holy calling to productive, ordinary, satisfying, self-supporting work.
 Selfishly thinking that our God-given skills and opportunities that make our personal
daily work successful may be used for mostly narrow personal benefit rather than also
generously shared to empower others, especially those with fewer opportunities, to
develop and achieve such productive successes through their daily work.
 Accepting a lower level of daily work achievement, than the maximum energy and
productivity our God-given abilities and opportunities call us to achieve through joyful
obedient ordinary daily work as mandated in Genesis 1:27-28 and 2:15.
As members of Transformation Sunnyside, we grieve when people are unable to image God
and fulfill their purpose through satisfying work, productive employment, healthier and
emotionally balanced lives, and socially connected people able to create better communities
in which they and their families can live in safety. As Christians, Transformation Sunnyside seek
out ways to prepare and equip other Christians and business leaders in communities we serve
to create opportunities, jobs for profitable personal and business growth so that everyone,
especially those unemployed, otherwise marginalized, excluded and dependent on hand-outs
will be more fully empowered to image God through their daily activities.
