What We Believe

At the Wesley Foundation we believe in the historical tenets of Christianity. We believe...

In one God who exists eternally in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus Christ, begotten of the Father, not created, fully God and fully man, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, was crucified, dead and buried. He was physically resurrected from the grave, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father.

In the divine inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible as originally given. These Scriptures constitute God's revealed will to mankind and are the only rule of Christian faith and practice.

Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.

In the imminent return of Jesus Christ to establish God's kingdom on earth.

In the physical resurrection of all mankind; the just to eternal life and the unjust to eternal judgment and separation from God.

Creeds we adhere to:

Nicene Creed:

We believe in one God, the Father All-sovereign, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, and the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten of the Father before all the ages, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not made, of one substance with the Father, through whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from the heavens, and was made flesh of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man, and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, and ascended into the heavens, and sits on the right hand of the Father, and comes again with glory to judge living and dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end:

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and the Life-giver, that proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and Son is worshipped together and glorified together, who spoke through the prophets:

In one holy catholic and apostolic church:

We acknowledge one baptism unto remission of sins. We look for a resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come.

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 third day he rose from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.
