Upper Dublin Lutheran Church’s Belief Statement PDF Print E-mail

Upper Dublin Lutheran Church teaches that our God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit:

  • has created and is sustaining all that exists.
  • is revealed to us in the Holy Bible, the living word by which God confronts each of us to be transformed to a new life, with new values and new commitment.
  • has entered human history in the crucified and risen Savior, Jesus of Nazareth, redeeming us from sin and restoring us to a relationship of love and trust with God so that we might know we are loved, forgiven, saved and empowered by God's grace alone.
  • works through the church for the redemption of creation by the power of the Holy Spirit;
  • changes lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ calling Christians to lives of:
    • discipleship
    • welcome and witness to all no matter where they are on life's journey of faith
    • sharing of God’s gifts that all might be nurtured
    • practicing compassion and justice as signs of Christ's presence in the world.
  • has provided a foundation for ministry in the historical witness of the Christian church - especially in the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confession.
