WHAT
WE BELIEVE
We,
the members of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARP), in order to
carry out God/s mission and move forward together into the next century,
profess our life together in Christ and our desire to set forth a united
strategy for the work of His church. We express our desire to continue to be a
Presbyterian and Reformed church, committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and
to the Bible as the Word of God.
Rooted
in and shaped by a living tradition, we are part of the new creation in Christ
which God is bringing into existence. Therefore, we are committed to: -
The
worship of the Triune God.
-
The
Holy Scriptures of the basis for our faith and activity.
-
Unity
with other believers in Christ.
-
Total
Stewardship of life – time, talents and money – including tithing through the
local church.
-
Excellence
in education and equipping leaders for tomorrow.
-
Loving
and caring for one another and for other people.
-
Spreading
the Gospel to all parts of the world.
-
Evaluating
and changing church structures and priorities in order to meet the challenges
of the future while preserving the best of the past.
To
this end and in humble reliance upon the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, we
covenant together to pray steadfastly that God will open doors of opportunity
so that we may declare the riches of Christ.
“Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap,
if we do not lose heart”Galatians
6:9
