OUR AFFIRMATION OF FAITH I believe in God, the maker of Heaven and Earth, the ruler and preserver of our lives. I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, my Lord, and Savior. I believe in the Holy Spirit, who proceeded from the Father and Son, who is the giver of life. I believe in the Bible, the Universal Church, Holy Baptism, and the Lord s Supper. I believe in the Resurrection of the dead and life in the world to come. RESPONSIVE READING John Baptizes Jesus ~ Matthew 3:13-17 (NKJV) LEADER: 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me? CONGREGATION: 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed Him. LEADER: 16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. CONGREGATION: 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. LEADER: The Word of God, for the People of God ALL: GLORY BE TO GOD! OUR MISSION The Mount Vernon Baptist Church- Westwood exists to honor God in all that we do, proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and live by the power of the Holy Spirit. OUR VISION Our Vision is to be a growing, generous, healthy, and impactful church family; one that transforms lives, serves our community and develops leaders to impact the next generation.
