All Saints Homestead

One God

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father; God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Sanctity of Life

We believe women have a God-given mission to protect children. Without this collective nourishment, we are experiencing open season on all human life. When we witness mass violence in our days, we know it is due to a lack of value for humanity. That lack of value comes from the very fact that our most precious members of society- children- are not safe in their most sacred earthly home, which is a mother’s womb. How can we expect our enemies and strangers to spare our children when mothers do not? We believe all human life is a gift, and we cradle it carefully.

Patriotism

We are desperately grateful to our ancestors for choosing the USA as their new home. We are not lost on the privilege to live in this country, and all it stands for. We believe in small government, God-given rights and a personal duty to depend on ourselves and our Christian community for our livelihood. We believe freedom is not a right to do what we want, but a right to do what we ought. And those obligations are clearly instructed in our Christian faith and country’s Constitution.

Tradition

The material world is constantly changing, bringing people with it through its trends. God’s Word is steadfast and very much alive in the modern world as it was many generations ago. There is a certain reassurance that comes from being grounded in tradition.
