We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, his unchanging and unerring message to all people of all times.

We believe that there is only one true God. He has revealed himself as Triune, that is, three in one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God created people holy and without sin. The first human beings, by their own will and actions, brought sin into the world and the whole human race.

We believe that sin is in all people by nature and that sin reveals itself in every transgression of God's holy will by thoughts, words, and actions.

We believe that sin merits God's judgment of death and damnation in hell, an eternal, agonizing separation from the holy and righteous God.

We believe that God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the people of the world from sin.

We believe that Jesus paid for the sins of all people when he suffered the punishment God demanded for sin by his death on the cross.

We believe the Jesus' resurrection from the dead is the certain proof that God has accepted his Son's sacrifice for sin.

We believe that these glorious truths are accepted by faith, which the Holy Spirit works in people's hearts through God's Word, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper.

We believe that by faith alone in the atoning work of Christ we are heirs of the sure hope of heaven.

We believe that, while we are still on this earth, we want to show our love for Jesus who first loved us and gave his life for us.

We believe that, at our death, we will inherit the wonderful glories of everlasting life with Christ in heaven, where there will be eternal joy and bliss, and no more pain or sorrow.
