LIVING AND SERVING IN GOD’S BLESSING
Testimony of Faith: Confession of Belhar #2 par 1, 4

We believe that Christ’s work of reconciliation is made manifest in the church as the community of believers who have been reconciled with God and with one another.
We believe that this unity of the people of God must be manifested and be active in a variety of ways: in that we love one another; that we experience, practice and pursue community with one another; and that we are obligated to give ourselves willingly and joyfully to be of benefit and blessing to one another.

Closing Song: I Love to Tell the Story
