History of Warwick UCC

Written by our founding members

We, whose names here follow, do joyously covenant together as charter members of the Congregational Christian Church in Warwick, Virginia, to walk in the ways of the Lord, made known, or to be made known to us.  While we do not insist upon the acceptance of any creed as a basis of membership the following is expressive of our faith and purpose:

We believe in the one God, Maker and Ruler of all things, Father of all men; the source of all goodness and beauty, all truth and love,

We believe in Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, our Teacher, Example, and Redeemer;  the Savior of the world.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, God present with us for guidance, for comfort and strength.

We believe in the forgiveness of sins, in the life of love and prayer, and in grace equal to every need.

We believe in the Church as the universal fellowship of all who, in every age and nation, profess this faith in Jesus Christ, and follow Him as Lord and Savior.

Depending on the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, we work and pray for the consummation of the  Kingdom of God, and we look with faith for the triumph of righteousness and the life everlasting.
