We believe:

• the Bible is the Word of God, accurate and reliable in every way, and the final authority for Christian faith and life.
• there is one true God existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This God created, cares for, and exercises control over all things in the universe.
• all of humanity fell into a sinful state as a result of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve.
• God’s Son, Jesus Christ, died and rose again to bear all of humanity’s sins and to make available to everyone a reconciled relationship to God that lasts for eternity. Jesus was uniquely able to accomplish this because He is completely God and completely man.
• reconciliation to God occurs when He works in our lives by the Holy Spirit, causing us to ask for forgiveness of sins and to surrender our lives to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. This process, called salvation, is entirely a work of God’s grace.
• obedient Christian living is learned and practiced, not to gain standing with God, but to express life-long gratitude for God’s received grace.
• The Apostles’ Creed accurately communicates the fundamental teachings of the Christian faith, and The Nicene Creed, The Athanasian Creed, The Heidelberg Catechism, The Belgic Confession, and The Canons of Dort expand our understanding of the Christian faith.
