NPWL Statement of Faith
As women of the Presbyterian Church, lay and clergy, embracing the confessional standards of the PC(USA) set forth in our Book of Confessions:
  1. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, revealed in Scripture as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and in no other.
  2. We believe in the whole of Scripture as the reliable, authoritative and essential witness of God's self-revelation and sovereign will, and our guide in faith and life.
  3. We believe in Jesus Christ, in his full divinity and full humanity, in his virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, vicarious and atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of God, and in Christ's future personal return in glory.
  4. We believe that God creates all human beings in God's image. Therefore, we believe in the full equality of women and men of all racial and ethnic groups and economic classes and in the sacredness of human sexuality expressed as God designed, celibacy in singleness, and fidelity in the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.
  5. We believe, because of human sin against God, that God's image was defaced and fellowship with God and with each other was broken. We believe in God's redeeming grace and power to overcome what sin has produced.
  6. We believe that the Holy Spirit convinces us of sin and leads us to repent and to experience God's salvation, which is received only through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
  7. We believe in the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live wholly and holy for God and to express our faith in word and action.
  8. We believe that we find our identity first of all as redeemed children of God and disciples of Christ, any other identity or focus being secondary.


We believe in the Body of Christ, which by the Holy Spirit is bound together in spiritual unity and sent out in gifted diversity to accomplish Christ's mission in the world.
