STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in you, O God, Eternal Spirit, God of our Savior Jesus

Christ and our God, and to your deeds we testify:

You call the worlds into being

create persons in your own images,

and set before each one the ways of life and death. 

You seek in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

You judge people and nations by your righteous will declared through

prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Savior,

you have come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and

death and reconciling the world to yourself. 

You bestow upon us your Holy  Spirit, creating and renewing the church

of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues

and races. You call us into your church to accept the cost and joy of

discipleship, to be your servants in the service of others,

to proclaim the gospel to all the world, and resist the powers of evil,

to share in Christ’s baptism and eat at his table, to join him in his passion

and victory.  You promise to all who trust you, forgiveness of sins and

fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, your

presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in your realm which has no

end.  Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto you.  Amen.
