What We Believe
- We believe that the Bible is the fully inspired Word of God and is totally without error.
- We believe the Bible is our only source for our Christian faith and life.
- We believe that there is only one God, He is the Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe that all people are sinful from birth and sin every day in thought, word and deed; all people need forgiveness to be saved.
- We believe that God loves all people and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the Savior of all people in this world.
- We believe that Jesus is the eternal Son of God who lived a perfect life and then died on the cross to pay for the sins of all people; on the third day He rose from the dead to prove that He conquered sin and death and earned God’s forgiveness for all people.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is sent by God to bring people to faith in Jesus through the hearing of the Gospel.
- We believe that a person is saved only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus as their Savior.
- We believe that Baptism is a sacrament by which God cleanses the hearts of children and adults alike from all sin. Baptism is God’s rite of initiation into the church.
- We believe that Jesus gave the Lord’s Supper, or Holy Communion, as another sacrament to give us His holy body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. The Lord’s Supper is intended for believers to increase their faith in Jesus.
- We believe that prayer is a believer’s direct line to heaven through Jesus. Through prayer, we can offer God our thanks and praise and seek His help and Blessings.
- We believe that God’s Law or Ten Commandments shows us our sins and guides us in our Christian living.
- We believe that the mission Jesus gave to His church on earth is to proclaim the saving love of God and seek to save all people for eternal life in heaven.
- We believe that death is not the end for a Christian, but only a beginning of a new and better life in heaven.
- We believe in a literal heaven and hell. Heaven is the home of God and Jesus and all believers in the life to come. Hell is the place of everlasting suffering and misery for the devil and all unbelievers.
