Beliefs at Old Stone Church
 


We Believe

…in the living God, who created the universe and makes all things new;
…in Jesus Christ, God’s only-begotten Son, through whom God is present and working for the reconciliation of the world;
…in God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to faith in Christ as Savior and Lord and gives us spiritual gifts for building up the Church and serving God’s creation;
…in God’s inspired writings of the Old and New Testaments, which are the unique and authoritative witnesses to the revelation of God;
…in the Church, which is the body of Christ present in the world, human in nature, but bearing witness to the ongoing work of God and participating in it;
…in the God-given mission of the Church, which is carried on through preaching, teaching, the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, prayer, and acts of love and justice.
 

Our Mission and Purpose

…to glorify God through active discipleship of Jesus Christ;
…to work and pray to make Christ’s Church useful to the world;
…and to call men, women, and children to faith, so that at the end of time, every knee shall bend in submission and every tongue will acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
