Declaration of Faith
Leader: Let us together profess our faith.
All: I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that he shall stand at the latter day
upon the earth.
and though worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God;
for now is Christ risen from the dead,
the firstfruits of those that sleep.
Since by one came death for all,
by one came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Hallelujah, the Lord God omnipotent reigns!
The kingdom of this world is become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ;
and he shall reign for ever and ever,
King of kings and Lord of lords. Hallelujah!
—based on Job 19:25–26, 1 Corinthians 15:20–22, and Revelation 11:15
