A
DISCIPLES AFFIRMATION
|
|
| As members of the Christian Church, | |
| We confess that Jesus is the Christ, | |
| the Son of the living God, | |
| and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world. | |
| In Christ's name and by his grace | |
| we accept our mission of witness | |
| and service to all people. | |
| We rejoice in God, | |
| maker of heaven and earth, | |
| and in the covenant of love | |
| which binds us to God and one another. | |
| Through baptism into Christ | |
| we enter into newness of life | |
| and are made one with the whole people of God. | |
| In the communion of the Holy Spirit | |
| we are joined together in discipleship | |
| and in obedience to Christ. | |
| At the table of the Lord | |
| we celebrate with thanksgiving | |
| the saving acts and presence of Christ. | |
| Within the universal church, | |
| we receive the gift of ministry | |
| and the light of scripture. | |
| In the bonds of Christian faith | |
| we yield ourselves to God | |
| that we may serve the One | |
| whose kingdom has no end. | |
| Blessing, glory and honor | |
| be to God forever. Amen. | |
