CORE BELIEFS
Although we are many unique Christian congregations differing in faith tradition, we affirm that the core of our unity is in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. By participating in the Festival of Christian Unity we affirm the following beliefs:
1.
2.
3.
We believe in one God who exists in three persons as the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is the second person of the Trinity and was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified for the forgiveness of our sins; rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven and will come again.
Scripture is the inspired Word of God
