We, the community of God's people at Warner Memorial Presbyterian Church, in humble recognition of our shortcomings and God's forgiveness, believe God has blessed us with a strong faith, a rich history, and hope for fulfillment of God's promises in the future. Even now, God blesses us with wise leaders, loyal members, dedicated staff, and generous friends, all of whom trust in God's Word and Spirit. |
Therefore,
by the grace of the Holy Spirit;
by the confidence of our faith in God,
and in obedience to Jesus Christ,
we declare our commitment
to educate ourselves and others in the knowledge
of Scripture as a pattern for our lives,
to enhance our worship of God in word, sacrament, and music,
to share God's love, through Christ with all people,
to join with Christians and others in worship, study, fellowship, and mission,
to give an abundant share of our time, talent, and money,
in proclamation of the gospel,
in the struggle for justice,
in the exercise of compassion;
in the stewardship of the environment,
and in the work for peace,
at home, in the community, and
throughout the world;
To the glory of God:
This is our witness.
This is our faith.
This is our call.
Amen.
