What We Believe
We are proud to be an inter-denominational organization that values unity in Christ above all. We embrace open-handed differences, respecting and deferring to the leadership of our participants in these areas. However, we remain steadfast in upholding the essential doctrines that form the foundation of our faith. To affirm these shared beliefs, we adhere to the Apostles’ Creed:
The Apostle’s Creed
"I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe 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, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day, he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”
