Sacred Roots

We believe in one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

(Matt. 16.18; Eph. 5.25-28; 1 Cor. 1.2; 10.17; 1 Tim. 3.15; Rev. 7.9)

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sin, (Acts 22.16; 1 Pet. 3.21; Eph. 4.4-5) And we look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come. (Isa. 11.6-10; Mic. 4.1-7; Luke 18.29-30; Rev. 21.1-5; 21.22-22.5) Amen.
