Purpose of Phi Lamb

Sigma Phi Lambda exists for the sole purpose of glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ and making His name great.  Sisters for the Lord is an organization of sisters for the Lord where fellowship with our most high God is fostered by growth in unity with one another.  We seek to provide a source of fellowship to Christian women who sincerely seek to know His person, His will, and His ways.

Statement of Belief

Apostle's Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ His only son our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He went down to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

*The word catholic is used in this context to mean universal.
