*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things came into being through Him, and without Him not one thing was created. The life that was in Him became light for all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. To all who receive Him, who believe in Him, He gives power to become children of God. The Word became flesh, a man named Jesus. He lived among us, full of grace and truth. From His fullness, we have all received grace upon grace. In His name God has sent the Holy Spirit to teach us and to remind us of all that He has said. We believe that because He lives, we shall live also, to the glory of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, Amen.
