A NEW CREED

We are not alone, we live in God's world.


We believe in God:

who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.


We trust in God.


We are called to be the Church:

to celebrate God's presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.


In life, in death, in life beyond death,

God is with us. We are not alone.


Thanks be to God.

 

CONFESSION DE FOI

Nous ne sommes pas seuls, nous vivons dans le monde que Dieu a créé.


Nous croyons en Dieu

qui a créé et qui continue à créer,
qui est venu en Jésus,
Parole faite chair,
pour réconcilier et renouveler,
qui travaille en nous et parmi nous
par son Esprit.


Nous avons confiance en Lui.


Nous sommes appelés à constituer l'Église :

pour célébrer la présence de Dieu,
pour vivre avec respect dans la création,
pour aimer et servir les autres,
pour rechercher la justice et résister au mal,
pour proclamer Jésus, crucifié et ressuscité,
notre juge et notre espérance.


Dans la vie, dans la mort, et dans la vie au-delà de la mort,

Dieu est avec nous. Nous ne sommes pas seuls.


Grâces soient rendues à Dieu.

 

At a national meeting of the United Church of Canada in 1968, A New Creed” was accepted as a contemporary expression of the church’s faith. In 2006 the church adopted a new statement of faith entitled “”A Song of Faith. To learn more about what the United Church of Canada believes please click here.

Being a part of a faith community (church) does not mean that you’ve got it all figured out. Remember that the disciples of Jesus asked questions, struggled with who Jesus was to them, and what it meant to be his followers. Sometimes they just didn’t get it, but that did not prevent them from being followers of the Christ.

In Philippians 2:12 Paul says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” This is what we do as Christians. Our journey in a life of faith is a “work in progress.”
