WE BELIEVE, TEACH AND CONFESS:- Man was created holy by God but lost this holiness through disobedience.
- Man is still disobedient as shown by his inability to keep the Ten Commandments perfectly.
- God loves man in spite of man's disobedience.
- God loves man so much that He laid the guilt and punishment of all the sins of all people on His Son, Jesus.
- Jesus Christ, true God and Man, lived a holy and perfect life on earth, suffered and died on the cross to prove His victory over sin and death for the forgiveness of all people.
- God offers full and free forgiveness to all people.
- Those who believe in Jesus as their Savior who forgives their sins, face life with a new joy and a greater confidence. They become new creatures in Christ.
- The Holy Spirit wants to impart this belief in everyone through the power of God's Word, the Bible, which we believe to be God's inspired revelation of Himself to man.
- The entire Bible, the Old Testament and the New Testament, is true and without error. It is the only source and authority for all matters of faith and life.
- The true Church of Jesus is composed of all those who rely on Him for forgiveness and eternal life while adhering to His Teachings and Sacraments.
- Christ will come again visibly at the end of time as the righteous Judge of the world, raise all from the dead, and give to believers in Christ eternal life.
