We, the people of the Church of Christ United of Winthrop, Iowa, continue the journey of faith set forth to us by our Lord and former congregations. We accept God’s call to Christ-likeness. Therefore, we commit ourselves to worship:

   proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ;

   sharing the sacraments and rituals of the church;

   creating a community of people who love God and neighbor;

   empowering ourselves, our children, and one another to be

   the church in a changing culture;

 to Christian education:

    teaching the way of Jesus;

    nurturing a life of prayer molded by scripture;

    preparing people for ethical living in a changing world;

to service:

    responding to the needs of the human conditions;

    working for peace and justice;

    living in harmony with the earth;

 to fellowship:

     loving one another;

     finding unity in our diversity;

     accepting all people.

We agree to differ.

We resolve to love.

We unite to serve.
