The session of First Presbyterian Church of Thibodaux, Louisiana meeting this 13th day of August, 2001 joins faithful believers throughout the Church by joyfully confessing our faith in the One Triune God of Grace: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

• We confess that the Triune God has revealed himself uniquely in Jesus Christ, who is the only Lord of all, our hope and proof of God’s love for us.
• We confess that the Holy Scriptures are the Word of God written, the story of God’s love and the church’s only infallible rule for faith and life.
• We confess that the Triune God teaches us, through the Scripture and the Power of the Holy Spirit; a clear standard for ethical purity and holiness of life. We believe that Christians are called to a lifestyle of holiness. This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, the only relationship within which sexual activity is appropriate.

We call upon the Presbyterian Church (USA) to affirm these confessions. We call upon the Presbyterian Church (USA) to affirm Biblical norms of behavior and to reject cultural norms that are declared sin by the Bible and the Book of Confessions. We call upon all members of the Presbyterian Church (USA) to pray and search the scriptures as we seek our unity only in Christ.
