WHAT WE BELIEVE

 The United Church of Canada has strong beliefs about a loving God, about Christ on earth and the work of the Holy Spirit.  The United Church is currently seeing to add modern language restatements of our faith as official statements of faith.  Scroll down for copies of brochures comparing the statements of faith.

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 resit evil,  

to proclaim Jesus,  crucified and risen,
   out judge and our hope.

In life, in death, in life beyond death,
    God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.
 

 What We Believe  These Brochures compare what our different statements of faith say on different subjects.  They don't include the complete statements, but selected items.  If you have difficulty printing the pdf files, contact Maggie Watts-Hammond at minister@oakridgeunited.org and I'll make the original publisher files available.
