DeclarationAs Ambassadors of Christ, we declare above all things, that
Jesus Christ is Lord In this declaration, we publicly profess faith in Jesus Christ, affirmed in water baptism, and by virtue of God’s grace, that we are:
People of Holiness
Holiness is not based on who we are, but because of who Jesus Christ is as Sovereign Head of the One Church.
(See Article 6.7 in the Canon) People of the Bible
As people of the Bible, we affirm the Holy Bible as the Divinely Inspired Word of God. (See C-Article 6.1 of the Canon) People of God We affirm the Triune nature of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (See C-Article 6.2;3; and 4 of the Canon) People of Salvation Salvation is God's gift to all people. It is free to anyone who receives Jesus Christ as Lord, by grace alone, through faith alone. Participating in God's redeeming grace sets the believer free from the bondage of intentional sin. (See C-Article 6.6 of the Canon) People of Sanctification As sanctified people we participate in the ongoing and progressive work of salvation where believers are transformed by the renewal of mind, heart, and spirit into the demonstration of Christian love to others. (See C-Article 6.7 of the Canon) People of Covenant As Covenant People, we are sealed in Water Baptism as members of the One, Holy, Universal, Christian, and Apostolic Church. (See C-Article 6.8-2 of the Canon) People of Communion: In the Lord's Supper we are reminded of the outward sign of the inward grace of Christ Redemptive work on the cross. The bread and the cup in communion is a participation in the covenant sealed by Christ unifying all believers in One Church, One Faith, One Baptism, under One Sovereign Lord. (See C-Article 6.8-3 of the Canon) People on Mission Since the foundation of Ambassadors of Christ, we have stood firm in our God-given mission of being and making Christlike disciples of Jesus Christ according to Christ's Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20. (See C-Article 6.8-1 of the Canon) |

This video describes the mission of Ambassadors of Christ
Our ValuesGrace–a subversive value! Giving people more than they deserve.
Hope–not a guarantee of immunity from harm but a conviction that God is always present
Faith- the means to real depth in relationships of all kinds
Love–means to love all people; even the unlovely
Justice–for all (not ‘just-me’). A concept biased in favor of the disadvantaged.
Joy–impossible to legislate for this but an essential social value
Service–meaning is found in service rather than being self-centered
Peace–not just the absence of fighting but positive well-being
