Revelation 11
Revised and Renewed August 6, 2025Faith, Family, and Freedom
FAITH
We affirm our belief in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, who made all human beings equal in dignity as His image-bearers (Genesis 1:26-27, Acts 17:26).
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, our Lord, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:35). He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried (Matthew 27:35-50).
After His death, His human soul entered the realm of the dead, where He proclaimed victory to the spirits held captive, as some Christian traditions also rightly interpret (1 Peter 3:19, Ephesians 4:9).
On the third day, He rose from the dead, reuniting His soul with His glorified body, becoming the firstfruits of the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20).
For 40 days, He appeared to His disciples, eating and drinking with them (Acts 1:3), before ascending to heaven in His resurrected body—a place no one had entered in such a glorified state before Him (John 3:13, Acts 1:9).
There, He is seated enthroned by God, and by His right hand, above all powers, interceding for us as our eternal High Priest and the King of Kings and LORD of Lords (Hebrews 7:24-25, Ephesians 1:20-21).
Through His death and resurrection, He inaugurated a new generation of humanity, distinct from Adam’s fallen line, offering eternal life to all who believe (1 Corinthians 15:45-49).
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who sustains believers and indwells the Church, manifest in congregations worldwide and wherever two or more gather in Christ’s name (Matthew 18:20).
We affirm the communion of saints, forgiveness of sins, the future resurrection of the body, and the new heaven and earth where righteousness dwells forever (Revelation 21:1, 1 Corinthians 15:53-54, 2 Peter 3:13).
Amen.
FAMILY
God creates each person equal in value, forming their body from conception, where life begins as a unique person (Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5).
The Bible teaches that the life of the body is sustained by God’s design, with breath and blood (Genesis 2:7, Leviticus 17:11).
Reproduction is a sacred gift, ordained by God to occur between one man and one woman in the covenant of marriage, as established in creation (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6).
Children are a blessing from God, created male or female in His image, reflecting the design of their parents (Psalm 127:3, Genesis 1:27).
These truths are presented in Scripture and self-evidently observed in nature, to confirm that God forms families through marriage, endowing each person with dignity and purpose.
As believers, we honor God by upholding the family as He designed it, rooted and verified in His creative order.
FREEDOM
God grants humanity freedom and responsibility to live according to His truth (John 8:36, Galatians 5:1).
As image-bearers, we are endowed with the ability to govern ourselves under God’s authority, submitting to Him above all others (Acts 5:29).
Governments derive their authority from God and the consent of the governed, but they must not impose ideologies contrary to His revealed will (Romans 13:1-7).
The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of God’s calling are rooted in our creation, not by human invention, and should be protected for all people.
As believers, we are called to uphold biblical truth, ensuring that our governance reflects justice, righteousness, and the dignity of every person as created equal by God.
