Progressive Adventism Credimus

We believe in the natural constant of change over time.
Guided by traditions & inspired by our founders before us,
we lift up each other and those around us,
engaging doctrines and challenging community in growth.

We believe that genuine dialogue leads to understanding,
that consensus is often guided by human pride and
we seek not the things of this earth but of those in heaven above.

We believe that the Divine inspires all through His Spirit.
Claiming our Adventist heritage of Present Truth,
we celebrate a Christianity of inclusion and tolerance,
relating the Divine through our interactions communally and individually.

We believe that love, as taught by Jesus, is the highest of Divine Principles,
the fruit of which bears out in our interactions with each other.
We seek to understand various cultures not simply pronounce judgment.

We believe that together, in communion with God, we have been called
to a higher purpose, “testing all things and holding fast to that which is good.”
Through our forums and publications we advocate for change,
not for the sake of popularity but for revelation and understanding.

We believe that God is still speaking and guiding us today,
that the church should not put a period where God has placed a comma.
We seek to enter into a divine covenant with God, making known His will.

We believe that progression is at the heart of God’s revelation,
that He wills for His children to utilize the minds He has given them.
We believe that in affirming our traditions we have yet a responsibility
to creatively integrate our knowledge and faith.

We believe these things because He believes in our ability,
for He has given all of us the capacity to reason and challenges us to use it.
He is forever the inspiration of and the answer to our questions.
