Statement of Faith

The majority of the Board of Directors are from the Lutheran churches of the LCMS. Hands of Mercy, as an incorporated organization, confesses, with the historic Christian Church, the Apostle’s Creed that follows:

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
I believe in the Holy Ghost:
I believe in the holy Christian church: the communion of saints:
The forgiveness of sins:
The resurrection of the body:
And the life everlasting.
