What We Believe

We believe.

  • We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

  • We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - one in essence and community. God the Father is the almighty Creator of heaven and earth. Jesus Christ our Lord is the Word made flesh - fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, was crucified, died and was buried, rose again on the third day, and ascended into heaven. The Holy Spirit is the believer. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, enables the believer to live a holy life, comforts, teaches, and bestows spiritual gifts.

  • We believe humanity is created in the image of God, has fallen into sin, and can be born again by the Spirit, justified freely by grace, and saved through the atoning work of Jesus Christ alone.

  • We believe the Church is the body of Christ, the people of God, whose mission is to make disciples of all nations and to be salt and light in the world. We believe baptism, the Lord’s supper, and feet-washing to be ordinances of the Church.

  • We believe in the return of Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the body, the final judgement, everlasting life, and the new heavens and new earth.
