| As a Confessional Church we believe that... | - That Jesus Christ alone is Lord of all and the way to salvation,
- That Holy Scripture is the revealed Word of the triune God and the Church's only rule of faith and life, and
- That God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life, which includes:
- Honoring the sanctity of marriage, between one man and one woman, as the only relationship within which sexual activity is appropriate.
- Honoring life from conception through death of the body.
We therefore announce our commitment to the Confessing Church Movement and we implore all Presbyterians who share these historic Christian convictions to: - Renew their individual commitments to the above confessions.
- Urge their session and presbytery to affirm these confessions and to declare that they will not ordain, install or employ in any ministry position any person who will not affirm them.
- Urge the General Assembly to instruct the General Assembly Council to require that all program personnel uphold these confessions and ensure that these confessions are followed faithfully in all programs and policies of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
