What We Believe
- There is one God, eternally existing in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit who created the heavens and earth and all things therein.
- The Holy Scripture is the Word of God, infallible and without error in the original autographs. The Holy Scripture is the medium in which God has revealed Himself to mankind. The Holy Scripture is the source of saving knowledge and the grace by which faith is increased. The Holy Scripture is sufficient, true, powerful, and is contained in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
- Mankind is born in trespasses and sin and is need of a Saviour – the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Salvation is only of God. The grace of God through faith in Christ’s saving work revealed on the cross for the atonement of mankind’s sins.
- For the believer, Christ is Lord and Saviour over all, having all authority, being the most High King, the most High Priest, and the Blessed Redeemer. The duty of the believer is to live in obedience and to submit to the will of God as it is revealed in Scripture.
- The believer’s hope is the expectation of Christ’s return – the visible bodily return in all His majesty and glory to gather all that is His.
- The believer’s participation in the sacraments – the Lord’s Supper and Baptism.
