WE BELIEVE
in God, who gave life to us and all creation.
in Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, God with us, who died,
is risen, ascended, and will come again.
in the Holy Spirit, who is within us to inspire and direct,
to empower and strengthen
For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
WE AFFIRM
that the earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it;
all that God has made was very good.
that Jesus came that all might have life and have it in fullness.
that we are called to go and make disciples of all nations.
that we are bound together as one family.
that we seek ‘To Know Christ and To Make Him Known’.
For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
WE CONFESS
that our lives have often denied what we have professed.
that we have sometimes failed to see in our neighbors
those for who Christ died.
that we have erected and maintained
barriers of race, class and gender.
Although we have sinned , we can know
the assurance of forgiveness
and begin anew to follow the Living Savior.
For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
WE COMMIT OURSELVES
to worship God in spirit and in truth.
to further the work of God’s Kingdom among all people
to uphold and live Christ’s way in all areas of life.
to love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul,
with all our mind and strength.
to love our neighbours as ourselves.
For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
