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. (Matthew 16:15-17) In Christ name and by his grace we accept our mission of witness and service to all people. (Matthew 28:18-20) We rejoice in God, maker of heaven and earth, and in the covenant of love which binds us to God and to one another. (John 1:1-4, 14) Through baptism into Christ we enter into newness of life and we are made one with the whole people of God. (Romans 6:3-6) In the communion of the Holy Spirit we are joined together in discipleship and in obedience to Christ. (Romans 8:15-17) At the table of the Lord we celebrate with thanksgiving the saving acts and presence of Christ. (Mark 14:22-25) Within the church we receive the gift of ministry and the light of scripture. (Ephesians 4:11-12) In the bonds of Christian faith we yield ourselves to God that we may serve the One whose kingdom has no end. (Acts 2:42) Blessing, glory and honor be to God forever. Amen.
