United Church of Christ Statement of Faith

(Adapted by Robert V. Moss)

We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in Jesus our brother, and to whose deeds we testify:

God calls the worlds into being,
creates humankind in the divine image
and sets before us the ways of life and death.

God has come to us
and shared our common lot,
conquering sin and death
and reconciling the world to its Creator.

creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ,
binding in covenant faithful people of all ages,
tongues, and races.

to accept the cost and joy of discipleship,
to be servants in the service of the whole human family,
to proclaim the gospel to all the world
and resist the powers of evil,
to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table,
to join him in his passion and victory.

forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace,
courage in the struggle for justice and peace,
the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing,
and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end.

Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God.

Amen.
