Confession of Faith...Rebecca Glancy
L: We confess that we believe in and belong to the one true and living God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Love before all love. P: We believe in God the Father, sovereign and holy, Creator and nurturer of all, Father of Jesus Christ, sender of the Holy Spirit, and Judge of all the earth.
L: We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, P: Truly human and truly divine, who lived among us full of grace and truth. For our sin He was crucified and by the power of God was raised from death, forgiving us, setting us free, and bringing to birth God’s new creation. Now ascended, He calls us to repentance and faith and restores us to God and to one another.
L: We believe in God the Holy Spirit, the giver of life at work in all creation, P: Who inspired the Scriptures and makes Christ known, who transforms hearts and minds and gathers us into the community of Christ, empowering the Church in worship and in mission.
L: We belong to this triune God, P: Women and men, young and old, from many nations, in Christ we are one people, witnesses to God’s love in wordand action, servants of reconciliation, and stewards of creation. As God’s people, we look forward in hope and joy to the return of Christ, to the new heaven and earth, where evil and death will be no more, justice and peace will flourish, and we shall forever delight in the glory of God.
