What We Believe
Statement of Faith
We believe in the Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
We believe that the Bible is God’s true Word given to us through writers inspired by the Holy Spirit that we might know God and His will for our lives.(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe that we are justified (made right) before God, by His grace, through faith in Christ Jesus and we believe that no human works of our own contribute to such salvation. (Ephesians 2: 8-9)
We believe that the means by which the grace of God reaches our hearts, minds and souls are through His Word and Sacraments (Baptism and the Lord’s Supper).
We believe God has called every Christian to go into the world and share the Good News of Christ Jesus, His love and His forgiveness of sin, through His means of Grace and through the deeds of our hands and lives. (Romans 10:17, Titus 3:5, Matthew 26: 27-28)
