    WE BELIEVE

    in God, who gave life to us and all creation.

    in Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, God with us, who died,

    is risen, ascended, and will come again.

    in the Holy Spirit, who is within us to inspire and direct,

    to empower and strengthen

 

    For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!

 

    WE AFFIRM

    that the earth is the Lord's and all that is in it;

    all that God has made was very good.

    that Jesus came that all might have life and have it in fullness.

    that we are called to go and make disciples of all nations.

    that we are bound together as one family.

    that we seek 'To Know Christ and To Make Him Known'.

 

    For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!

 

    WE CONFESS

    that our lives have often denied what we have professed.

    that we have sometimes failed to see in our neighbors

    those for who Christ died.

    that we have erected and maintained

    barriers of race, class and gender.

 

    Although we have sinned , we can know

    the assurance of forgiveness

    and begin anew to follow the Living Savior.

 

    For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!

 

    WE COMMIT OURSELVES:

    to worship God in spirit and in truth.

    to further the work of God's Kingdom among all people

    to uphold and live Christ's way in all areas of life.

    to love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul,

    with all our mind and strength.

    to love our neighbours as ourselves.

 

    For Christ is risen Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
