WHAT WE BELIEVE

At the Heart of Everything We Do

What we believe about The Bible
That the Bible is the true and inerrant Word of God. We reject any thought that makes only a part of Scripture God’s Word, that allows for the possibility of factual error in Scripture, or error in so-called nonreligious matters
(for example: historical, geographical, or scientific matters).

What we believe about Jesus Christ
That Jesus Christ, true God, begotten of the Father from eternity, and also true man, born of the virgin Mary,
is the only Savior from sin, death and the powers of the devil.

What we believe about Salvation
"That man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." (Romans 3:28) Salvation is God's gift to us.
It is received by faith alone. Even faith is a gift of God, produced in us by the Holy Spirit,
who works through visible means, that is, the Word of God and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

What we believe about Good Works in the life of a Christian
That faith in Jesus Christ is a living force within the Christian that must produce works that are pleasing to God.
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead” (James 2:17).
So a Christian as a branch of Christ the Vine, brings forth good fruit (John 15:5).
