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 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 in discipleship and obedience to Christ.  

At the table of the Lord, we celebrate the thanksgiving and 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.
