What We Believe

We believe the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is verbally inspired by God, inerrant in its original autographs, and fully authoritative in all matters relating to Christian faith and practice.

We believe in one God, Creator of all and eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for the saints, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit convicting men of sin, imparting within them the divine nature, and leading them in godly living, witnessing, and in the understanding of the truth of God. (Romans 8:9b)

We believe that all men are sinners by nature and in need of repentance and regeneration.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men. Believers (those who have personally received Jesus Christ) are to enjoy eternal life with God. Unbelievers are resurrected to experience judgment and then eternal suffering apart from God.

We believe in the sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
