Affirmation of Faith

As members of the Christian Church,
We confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God,
and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world.

In Christ's name and by his grace we accept our mission of witness and service to all people.

We rejoice in God, maker of heaven and earth,
and in the covenant of love which binds us to God and one another.

Through baptism into Christ we enter into newness of life
and are made one with the whole people of God.

In the communion of the Holy Spirit we are joined together in discipleship and in obedience to Christ.

At the table of the Lord we celebrate with thanksgiving
the saving acts and presence of Christ.

Within the universal church, we receive the gift of ministry
and the light of scripture.

In the bonds of Christian faith we yield ourselves to God
that we may serve the One whose kingdom has no end.

Blessing, glory and honor be to God forever. Amen.
