What We Believe

We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who created all things and sovereignly rules over His creation.

We believe the Bible is God’s inspired, infallible Word, and our supreme authority for faith and life.

We believe that Jesus Christ, being truly God and truly human, was born of a virgin, lived without sin, died for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He now rules from the right hand of the Father, and will return in glory to judge all people.

We believe that through Adam’s fall, all humanity inherits original sin, corrupting our nature and placing us under God’s just condemnation until redeemed by His grace.

We believe salvation comes solely by God’s grace through His gift of faith in Christ, apart from human works or merit, and that through faith, God declares us righteous in His sight.

We believe the Holy Spirit works through the Word, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper to cultivate faith, and that through these means, Christ graciously gives Himself to His people.

We believe that genuine faith necessarily produces good works, not as a means of salvation but as the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s transforming power in believers’ lives.

We believe that the true Church is the assembly of God’s people, called, gathered, and united together in Christ through the faithful preaching of the Gospel and the right administration of the sacraments.

We believe that civil government is instituted by God to uphold justice and peace, and that Christians may serve within it for the common good.

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the eternal hope of a new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells, in which believers will enjoy eternal life in God’s presence, while those who reject Christ will be cast away from Him into everlasting torments.
