Created in the image of God, loved through Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we the people of the Ada First Presbyterian Church commit our lives, in accordance with the Reformed Tradition, to . . .

Accepting people for who they are by loving each other and forgiving sin in one another for the sake of Christ.
Encouraging active participation by all members and commitment to giving time, talent and resources.
Offering sound Christian Education for all age groups based on the teachings of scripture.
Responding to the challenge of evangelism, through prayer, training and witnessing.
Providing for the needs of others through local, national, and international outreach programs.
Nurturing spiritual, emotional, and physical needs.

By committing ourselves to these goals, and being honest before God, we pledge ourselves to the process of spiritual growth and transformation. In all this, we affirm that scripture will be our guiding light:

Deuteronomy 6:5 “ . . . Love the Lord you God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”

John 15:12 “ . . . Love each other as I have loved you.”
