STATEMENT OF FAITH

ARTICLE 16

THE RETURN OF CHRIST AND THE NEW CREATION

We believe Jesus Christ will return personally, bodily, visibly, powerfully, and gloriously.

His return is the blessed hope of the Church.

At His coming, evil will be finally defeated, the dead will be raised, judgment will be consummated, and God's redemptive purposes will reach their glorious fulfilment.

We believe in the promised new heavens and new earth, where righteousness dwells and God's redeemed people will enjoy His presence forever.

Until that day, the Church is called to remain faithful, holy, watchful, hopeful, fruitful, and actively engaged in the mission of Christ.
