Confessing Church Movement

Our Resolution:

The session of the First Presbyterian Church of Oostburg, Wisconsin, meeting this 5^th day of April, 2001, joins faithful believers throughout the Church in confessing:

• That Jesus Christ alone is Lord of all and the way of salvation.
• That holy Scripture is the triune God’s revealed Word, the Church’s only infallible rule of faith and life.
• That God’s people are called to holiness in all aspects of life. This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, the only relationship within which sexual activity is appropriate.

We therefore announce our commitment to the Confessing Church Movement and we implore all Presbyterians who share these historic Christian convictions to:

• Renew their individual commitments to the above confessions.
• Urge their session and presbytery to affirm these confessions and to declare that they will not ordain, install or employ in any ministry position any person who will not affirm them.
• Urge the 2001 General Assembly to instruct the General Assembly Council to require that all program personnel uphold these confessions and ensure that these confessions are followed faithfully in all programs and policies of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
