-
We believe
in the one God, Creator of heaven and earth, who eternally exists in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
-
We believe
that God the Son assumed human nature, was born of a virgin, ministered
in word and miracle, died for our sin, was raised bodily from the dead,
ascended to God's right hand where he presently resides.
-
We believe
that the Holy Spirit indwells in every Christian and is presently at work
in the Christian community, empowering lives of godliness and service.
-
We believe
that the Holy Bible is inspired by God, trustworthy in its teaching, and
the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
-
We believe
that all humanity, due to sin, is destined for death, corruption, and separation
from God apart from the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
-
We believe
that Jesus Christ established His church to be one holy people, to glorify
God, and to carry out His saving mission among all nations.
-
We believe
in God's saving grace that calls for faith, repentance, confession, baptism
by immersion and new life and service through the Spirit.
-
We believe
in the blessed hope of the second coming of Jesus Christ, who will raise
the dead and judge all with justice and mercy, and in the consummation
of the Kingdom of God.
