Our beliefs
United Church of Christ Statement of Faith

We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in
Jesus our brother, and to whose deeds we testify:

God calls the worlds into being, creates humankind in the divine
image, and sets before us the ways of life and death.

God seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

God judges all humanity and all nations by that will of
righteousness declared through prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen
Lord,God has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering
sin and death and reconciling the whole creation to its Creator.

God bestows upon us the Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the
church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all
ages, tongues, and races.

God calls us into the church to accept the cost and joy of
discipleship, to be servants in the service of the whole human
family, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the
powers of evil, to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table,to
join him in his passion and victory.

God promises to all who trust in the gospel forgiveness of sins and
fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace,the
presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in
that kingdom which has no end.
