Statement of Faith

We believe in one God in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Holy Bible and made known in and by Jesus Christ our Lord. We believe that Jesus, the divine Son of God became human, was born of a virgin, ministered by word and miracle, died for our sin, was raised bodily from the dead, ascended to God's right hand and is coming again for his people. We believe that the Holy Spirit is presently ministering through the Christian community, empowering lives of godliness and service. We believe that the Holy Bible is God-breathed, true in all its teaching, and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. We believe that Jesus Christ established his Church on earth to carry out his saving mission among all people groups and formed the Church to be One Holy People. We believe in God's saving grace that calls forth from all people: faith, repentance, confession, baptism, and new life and ministry through the Spirit. And we commit ourselves to the teaching, practice and defense of these truths until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
