WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST THE LORD,
Who was promised to the people of Israel,
Who came in the flesh to dwell among us,
Who announced the coming of the rule of God,
Who gathered disciples and taught them,
Who died on the cross to free us from sin,
Who rose from the dead to give us life and hope,
Who reigns in heaven at the right hand of God,
Who comes to judge and bring justice to victory.
WE BELIEVE IN GOD HIS FATHER,
Who raised Him from the dead,
Who created and sustains the universe,
Who acts to deliver His people in times of need,
Who desires all men everywhere to be saved.
WE BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Who is the form of God present in the church,
Who is the guarantee of our deliverance,
Who leads us to find God’s will in the Word,
Who guides us in discernment,
Who impels us to act together.
— The Mennonite Hymnal, 1967
