What We Believe

 

Mansfield Christian Reformed Church believes

  • that Jesus Christ is the Son of God sent to redeem the world
  • we love and trust Him as the One who saves us from our sin
  • we will continue to turn from our rebellion against our Lord
  • and with repentance and joy we embrace Him as the Lord of our lives

  Mansfield Christian Reformed Church acknowledges

  • that the teaching of the Old and New Testaments, summarised in the Apostles’ Creed and our Confessions, and taught in our Church, is the true and complete doctrine of salvation

Mansfield Christian Reformed Church accepts

  • the gracious promises of God sealed to us in our baptism and we affirm our union with Christ and His church which baptism signifies
  • Baptism and the Lord's Supper as the holy sacraments through which the Lord assures us that our entire salvation rests on Christ's one sacrifice for us on the cross

Mansfield Christian Reformed Church accepts

  • the following creeds and confessions as a summary of the teaching of the Old and New Testaments:
    • Apostles’ Creed
    • Nicene Creed
    • Athanasian Creed
    • Belgic Confession
    • Heidelberg Catechism
    • Canons of Dort  
  • If you want to learn more about what we believe, it is a good idea to work through these confessions of faith during your personal devotions.

The Apostles’ Creed

 

I believe in God the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, dead, and buried;

The descended into hell.

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

The holy catholic (Christian church of all times and places) Church,

The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins,

The resurrection of the body,

And the life everlasting.

Amen
