Statement of Faith

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit; Born of the Virgin
Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate; Was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into Hell; The third
day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; And sitteth on the right hand of God the
Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; The Holy Christian Church, the Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of
sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the life everlasting. Amen.

CONFESSIONS OF FAITH

"The Resurrection of Christ; 1 And now I want to remind you, my friends, of the Good News which I preached to you, which you received, and on which your faith stands firm.2 That is the gospel, the message that I preached to you. You are saved by the gospel if you hold firmly to it—unless it was for nothing that you believed.3 I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures; 4 that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures; 5 that he appeared to Peter and then to all twelve apostles. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at once, most of whom are still alive, although some have died. 7 Then he appeared to James, and afterward to all the apostles. 8 Last of all he appeared also to me—even though I am like someone whose birth was abnormal.." 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
"Paul Tells of His Conversion 6“As I was traveling and coming near Damascus, about midday a bright light from the sky flashed suddenly around me.7I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?’8‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute,’ he said to me.9The men with me saw the light, but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me.10I asked, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ and the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told everything that God has determined for you to do.’11I was blind because of the bright light, and so my companions took me by the hand and led me into Damascus.12“In that city was a man named Ananias, a religious man who obeyed our Law and was highly respected by all the Jews living there.13He came to me, stood by me, and said, ‘Brother Saul, see again!’ At that very moment I saw again and looked at him.14He said, ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will, to see his righteous Servant, and to hear him speaking with his own voice.15For you will be a witness for him to tell everyone what you have seen and heard.16And now, why wait any longer? Get up and be baptized and have your sins washed away by praying to him.’.'" Acts 22:6-16
"God, who made the world and everything in it, is Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.25Nor does he need anything that we can supply by working for him, since it is he himself who gives life and breath and everything else to everyone.26From one human being he created all races of people and made them live throughout the whole earth. He himself fixed beforehand the exact times and the limits of the places where they would live.27He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us;28 as someone has said,‘In him we live and move and exist.’It is as some of your poets have said,‘We too are his children.’.'" Acts 17:24-28
