Statement of Faith by our
confirmation class, 2006: We believe God is creator of both Heaven and earth. God knows
all about us and loves and forgives us, always. We believe Jesus
walked on earth as a human and suffered like we do. He died on the
cross for us, and rose from hell and went to heaven. We believe the
Holy Spirit is always with us and guided us. The Spirit inspires us
to praise God in all ways, to share our faith with those who are
seeking, and leads us to pray with and for others as they need.
Amen.
Current Statement of Faith: We believe in God, the
one who comes before us and goes behind us, creating life and
opportunities to love and care for the world.
We believe
in Jesus Christ who walks with us into real life each day. He is
God, yet human like us and experienced all life’s joys and pains
and challenges like we do. But his love is so great that not sin
nor suffering nor even death could stop it. Today the love of
Jesus lives and continues to bring new life to the world.
We believe
in the Holy Spirit who comes like the wind and blows in and
through us to bring God’s power and light to all the world. The
Spirit breathes life into us, the body of Christ we call the
church, and enables us to follow the way of Christ.
We believe
in God, who goes before and behind, with, in and through us,
bringing hope and life and newness to the world. Amen
New Creation church believes that no one
creed or faith statement captures the full essence of what we
believe. We choose to use a variety of statements reflecting the
liturgical season and/or the current worship theme. We ascribe to
the historical creeds of the early church as normative for our
faith, and as they are held in common with various Christian
communities around the globe.
