THE UCCP STATEMENT OF FAITH

WE BELIEVE, in One God; Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer who
provides order, purpose, meaning and fulfillment to all creation. That in
Jesus Christ, who was born of Mary, God became human and is
Sovereign Lord of life and history. That in the Holy Spirit, God is present
in the world, empowering and guiding believers to understand and live
out their faith in Jesus Christ. WE BELIEVE, persons are created in the image of God and destined to
live in community with God, with other persons and with all creation. That by disobedience, they have become sinful, but, by grace through
faith, they are redeemed in Jesus Christ. That being entrusted with
God’s creation, they are called to participate in the establishment of a
just and compassionate social order. WE BELIEVE, that the Church is the one Body of Christ, the whole
community of persons reconciled to God through Jesus Christ and
entrusted with God’s ministry. WE BELIEVE, that the Holy Bible is a faithful and inspired witness of
God’s self revelation in Jesus Christ and in history, to illumine, guide
correct and edify believers in their faith and witness. WE BELIEVE, that God is at work to make each person a new being in
Christ and the whole world God’s Kingdom in which love, justice and
peace prevail. That the Kingdom of God is present where faith in Jesus
Christ is shared, where healing is given to the sick, where food is given
to the hungry, where light is given to the blind, and where liberty is given
to the captive and oppressed. WE BELIEVE, that the resurrection of Jesus Christ has overcome the
power of death gives assurance of life after death, and we look forward
to His coming again in all fullness and glory make all creation new and
to gather all the faithful in the Kingdom of God.
