We believe in God, Creator of the world; and in Jesus Christ the Redeemer of creation. We believe in the Holy Spirit, through whom we acknowledge God’s gifts, and we repent of our sin in misusing these gifts to idolatrous ends.

We affirm the natural world as God’s handiwork and dedicated ourselves to its preservation, enhancement, the faithful use by humankind.

We joyfully receive, for ourselve and others, the blessings of community, sexuality, marriage, and the family.

We commit ourselves to the rights of men, women, children, youth, young adults, the aging, and people with disabilities; to improve the quality of life; and to the rights and dignity of racial, ethnic, and religious minorities.

We belive in the right and duty of persons to work for the glory of God and the good of themselves and others, and in the protection of their welfare in doing so; in the right of property as a trust from God, collective bargaining, and responsible comsumption; and in the elimination of economic and social distress.

We didicate ourselves to peace throughout the world and to the rule of justice and law among nations, and to individuals freedom for all people of the world.

We believe in the present and final triumph of God’s Word in human affairs, and gladly accept as our commission to manifest the life of the gospel in the world.
