We Believe that . . .
- The Bible is the Word of God -- absolute truth. It shows God in action.
- God is one God in three persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- Man and woman were created by God in holiness, but sinned (rebelled). We cannot by our own powers come back to God.
- The Savior, Jesus, died to save the world from sin.
- A person is justified (saved), not through merit, but only by God's grace, through faith.
- Repenting means sincerely regretting one's sins and asking for Christ's forgiveness and guidance.
- The church is all those people who sincerely accept and believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
- Baptism, a sacrament, establishes new life in a person. It remakes him or her in God's spirit.
- The Lord's Supper, a sacrament, is the Body and Blood of Christ borne by bread and wine in Holy Communion.
- The creeds are statements of belief, not additions to the Bible. They summarize the Bible's teachings.
- Religion and science are not in conflict. Religion talks about the "who," the creator; science talks about the "how."
- A Christian's unity with fellow Christians is rooted in Christ as God and Savior.
