We believe in Jesus Christ the Lord,
- Who was promised to the people of Israel,
- Who came in flesh to dwell among us,
- Who announced the coming of the rule of God,
- Who gathered disciples and taught them,
- Who died on the cross to free us from sin,
- Who rose from the dead to give us life and hope,
- Who reigns in heaven at the right hand of God,
- Who comes to Judge and bring justice to victory.
We believe in God His Father,
- Who raised Him from the dead,
- Who created and sustains the universe,
- Who acts to deliver His people in times of need,
- Who desires all men everywhere to be saved,
- Who rules over the destinies of men and nations,
- Who continues to love men even when they reject Him.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
- Who is the form of God present in the church,
- Who moves men to faith and obedience,
- Who is the guarantee of our deliverance,
- Who leads us to find God’s will in the Word,
- Who assists those whom He renews in prayer,
- Who guides us in discernment,
- Who impels us to act together.
We believe God has made us His people,
- To invite others to follow Christ,
- To encourage one another to deeper commitment,
- To proclaim forgiveness of sins and hope,
- To reconcile men to God through word and deed,
- To bear witness to the power of love over hate,
- To proclaim Jesus the Lord over all,
- To meet the daily tasks of life with purpose,
- To suffer joyfully for the cause of right,
- To the ends of the earth,
- To the end of the age,
- To the praise of His glory.
Amen.
