What We Believe
The Lausanne Covenant
"We, members of the Church of Jesus Christ, from more than 150 nations,
participants in the International Congress on World Evangelization at Lausanne,
praise God for his great salvation and rejoice in the fellowship he has given us
with himself and with each other. We are deeply stirred by what God is doing in
our day, moved to penitence by our failures and challenged by the unfinished
task of evangelization. We believe the Gospel is God’s good news for the whole
world, and we are determined by his grace to obey Christ’s commission to
proclaim it to all mankind and to make disciples of every nation. We desire,
therefore, to affirm our faith and our resolve, and to make public our covenant..."
