WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our Statement of Faith
United Rescue Mission is a Christ-centered ministry. We affirm the Nicene Creed as the doctrinal foundation of our faith — the historic confession of the universal Church across every tribe, tongue, and nation.
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets.
And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
It is from this foundation — the death, resurrection, and lordship of Jesus Christ — that the Great Commission draws its authority and its urgency.
We go because He is Lord of all nations. We proclaim because He is the only name by which people can be saved. We multiply because He promised that His Church would prevail.
This is not our mission. It is His. We are the vessels.
