WHAT WE BELIEVE


The Greatest Commandment

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

— Matthew 22:37-39

As members of Peace United Church of Christ we believe:

  • In Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our Savior,
  • That He died upon the cross so that we might have forgiveness of sin and life everlasting,
  • That as the Son of God, Jesus Christ is the head of the church and of our lives,
  • That the Bible is the word of God and we look to the word of God as our guide for life and faith,
  • We acknowledge as brothers and sisters in faith all who share this confession.

As members of Christ’s Church we:

  • Look for the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit to continue its creative and redemptive work in the world; and,
  • Affirm that it is the responsibility of every Christian, in every generation, to make this faith their own in sincerity of thought and honesty of worship.

"Following the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, we believe that we are called to carry out His mission in the world today. Wherever there are people without the Gospel, wherever there are people in need, wherever there is injustice, strife, hatred and greed – there the Church of Christ is bound by its Lord to bear witness, to serve, to help, to reconcile, to rebuild. We belong to Christ and must follow where he leads."
