United Church of Pittsford

We believe in God the Father, Creator of heaven and Earth, Sovereign over time, history and nations; who made of one blood every nation, and who wills that all people shall live together in freedom and peace.

We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ, as Lord, as the Redeemer and as the hope of the world. We believe that He was God Incarnate, that He was fully human and also fully Good. His death on the cross is the means whereby God reconciles us to Himself. His resurrection from the dead is the sign of God’s power over sin and death, and is the promise to the faithful of eternal life.

We believe in God the Holy Spirit, as the Divine Presence in our lives, transforming our hopes and our fears, and shaping the lives and the destinies of people and nations into conformity with God’s redemptive purposes for the world.

We believe that as Christians we are members of the world-wide community of the church, and as such must seek within our own fellowship and in our common life the kind of community God wills for the world.

We seek to be a living bridge between the historic traditions of our two denominations, preserving their distinctive contributions and emphasizing together our common loyalty to Jesus Christ. For further guidance concerning our faith, we look to the Apostles’ Creed.
