Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith received by the 15th Assembly of the Armenian Evangelical Union of North America (AEUNA) in Los Angeles , CA, on June 30th, 2000.

We, the Armenian  Evangelical Church rooted in an ancient heritage extending to the apostles, yet affirming the  legacy of the Reformation; planted in the rich  soil of Ararat, yet blossoming across  oceans and continents; parched by the winds  of persecution, yet bearing the fruit  of perseverance-proclaim the faith  received from our ancestors. 

​

We believe in one God, Father, Son, and  Holy Spirit, to Whom alone belongs  all glory and worship: 

  • Father, our Creator, Maker of all things in heaven and earth; 

  • Son, our Savior, Only-begotten of the  Father, Who was born of the  Virgin Mary, suffered death on the  cross, was resurrected and  ascended into heaven, and Whose triumphant  return all creation awaits; and 

  • Holy Spirit, our  Comforter,Who inspired the  sacred scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, our supreme authority  in all matters of faith and conduct, and Who breathes new life  into all believers. 

​

We believe that though humanity was created good in God's image, through our  disobedience, we all have fallen into sin and become worthy of  condemnation and eternal separation from God. Yet the Father in  grace sent His Son Jesus Christ, the atoning sacrifice  for our salvation. This free gift is received only through repentance and faith in Christ, is displayed in our  loving service to God and those around us, and is enjoyed  eternally in the presence of God. 

​

We believe the universal Church to be the Body of Christ, through Whom every Church receives its identity and mission:to proclaim the Gospel in word and deed, to administer the  sacraments of baptism and communion, and to nurture believers  through teaching the Word and equipping the saints for service. To further this mission,  the Spirit leads us in continual growth through worship,  prayer, and study of Scripture, in partnership with  all who confess Christ as Lord and accept the Nicene  and Apostles' Creed. 

​

We believe our particular calling to be the leading of our people and all peoples into a commitment to  Christ and a growing relationship with God, and to this task we  commit our lives. 

​

Glory to God from  generation to generation in the Church, and in Christ Jesus our Lord, for ever and ever. Amen

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of haven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; 

​

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of His father before all worlds; God of God; Light of Light; Very God of Very God; begotten, not made; being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven: and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven; and sitteth on the right hand of Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. 

​

And we believe in the Holy Ghost; the Lord giver of life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. 

​

And we believe in one catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead; and the life of the world to come.
