First Christian Griffin

As members of the Christian Church,We confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world.

In Christ's name and by his grace we accept our mission of witness and service to all people.

We rejoice in God, maker of heaven and earth, and in God’s covenant of love which binds us to God and to one another.

Through baptism into Christ we enter into newness of life and are made one with the whole people of God.

In the communion of the Holy Spirit we are joined together in discipleship and in obedience to Christ.

At the Table of the Lord we celebrate with thanksgiving the saving acts and presence of Christ.

Within the universal church we receive the gift of ministry and the light of scripture.

In the bonds of Christian faith we yield ourselves to God that we may serve the One whose kingdom has no end.

Blessing, glory, and honor be to God forever. Amen.

We believe in one baptism by immersion in our denomination, but we accept those who have been baptized into other faiths without asking them to be rebaptized.

We celebrate communion every Sunday, and communion is open to all believers.

We believe that both men and women are called by God and therefore have both male and female deacons, elders, and pastors.

We have no official creed; Christ is our creed.

We celebrate diversity in all of its forms.
