I.
Almighty God maker of heaven and earth, has redeemed the world
through the all sufficient sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.
II.
God the Holy Sprit freely brings to men assurance of forgiveness of
sins in Christ by means of the divinely inspired Word of God and the
divinely instituted sacraments of baptism and holy communion.
III.
Faith in Christ, the Savior is created in human hearts by the
operation of God's Holy Spirit through the Gospel.
IV.
We accept the solemn obligations of proclaiming this Gospel to those
who do not know Christ as their Savior, and of educating and training
our youth in the responsibilities of citizenship in Christ's Kingdom.
V.
We serve God as citizens of His Kingdom by serving our fellowmen in
Christian love and Christian faith and love compels us to minister to
the needs of the poor, the sick, the broken in heart and the oppressed.
VI.
We recognize no authority greater than that of God and His Word and
we owe obedience to no power which would cause us to violate the
Commandments of God.
VII.
Human government is part of the divinely established order and we
are pledged to uphold and defend just cause and the beneficent
institutions for the welfare of our country and of the world.
VIII.
The advent of the nuclear age has not shortened the hand of God nor
removed Jesus Christ from His throne as Ruler of the world and Head of
His Church
IX.
There is a heavenly city prepared by God for those that love the
appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will return in Glory on the last
day to judge the world in righteousness.
X.
In the midst of insecurity and amid the false hopes of the present
time, the living Christ is the sure hope of all such as believe and
trust in Him.
