Our Statement of Faith, Our General Confession, & Our Call To Worship

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, light from light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary
and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end. 

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son],
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

General Confession

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed against your divine Majesty, provoking most justly your wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us.

Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please You in newness of life, to the honor and glory of Your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

The Call to Call To Worship ~ The Litany of Empowerment                  

     LEADER:  I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed, I have Holy Ghost Power; the dye has been cast, I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made; I am a disciple of Jesus Christ! I won’t look back... let up… slow down…back up…or be still!

 PEOPLE:   My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals!

      LEADER:   I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity! I do not have to be right, first tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on the Lord, run with patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Ghost power.

      PEOPLE:   My face is set. My goal is heaven. My road is narrow. My way is rough. My guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned away, deluded, or delayed!

      LEADER:   I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

      PEOPLE:   I WON’T GIVE UP…SHUT UP… LET UP… until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, worked up, for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, teach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when Jesus comes, He will have no problems recognizing me because He’ll remember I was the one he gave POWER!
