We believe in God, The Eternal Spirit, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Father, and to His deeds we testify:
• He calls the worlds into being, creates man in his own image and sets before him the ways of life and death.
•He seeks in Holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.
• He judges men and nations by His righteous will declared through prophets and apostles.
• In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord, He has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to himself.
• He bestows upon us His Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the Church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues and races.
• He calls us into His Church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be His servants in the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ's passion and victory.
• He promises to all who trust him forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, His presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in His kingdom which has no end.
• Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto Him. Amen
Live Simply, Love Generously, Speak Truthfully, Serve Faithfully.
Leave everything else to God.
