Reaffirmed July 1, 2008

The Session of Christ Presbyterian Church hereby takes this action to profess its faith by upholding the sacred doctrines of the Christian faith within the Reformed tradition according to the teachings of the Scriptures and the Confession of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  This Confession of Faith reaffirms some of the fundamental truths of our Christian faith and heritage which are found within our Book of Confessions.

          *  We trust, love, worship, adore and serve the one true God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

          *  We declare that Jesus Christ alone is Lord of lords and the only Savior for humanity.
              Salvation is found only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

          *  We declare the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God and
              the final authority in the knowledge of God and in matters of faith and life.

          *  We declare that the grace of God in Jesus Christ calls all people who profess faith in the
              Savior to a life of holy living, which includes faithfulness in the covenant of marriage
              between a man and a woman or chastity in singleness.

The Session endorses the Confessing Church movement within the Presbyterian Church (USA) and
instructs the Clerk of Session to communicate this resolution to the Presbytery of Los Ranchos,
The General Assembly Council, and to those bodies within the Confessing Church movement.

The Session of CPC, in light of the forgoing commitments of faith, strongly opposes the recent actions of the General Assembly to remove the historic requirements of sexual purity for those who seek ordination.
