We believe…

• The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God. All doctrine and practice in the Church is founded on God's Word.
  

• There is only one true God—the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), as confessed in the three ecumenical creeds (Apostles, Nicene, & Athanasian). God is the Creator of all things and God sustains all things. 

• All people are born in bondage to sin, death, and the power of devil. We are truly unable to save ourselves or make ourselves right with God by our own strength or works. 

• Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Lord and Savior from sin, death, and hell. Jesus is true God and true man who lived a perfect and holy life for us. Christ shed His blood on the cross to atone for all our sins. On Easter morning, He rose from the dead and declared His victory over sin, the grave, and the devil. Jesus did all of this for us. 

• Holy Spirit calls us to faith in Jesus Christ. He does this with the Word of God. That same Holy Spirit also delivers Jesus' forgiveness, life, and salvation to us. This is all a free gift from God to us. We receive the gifs of life and salvation through the means God has promised: the Bible, through Baptism, Absolution, and also the Lord’s Supper.

• Christ works in us, through His Word and Spirit, so that we trust in God. We also live in sacrificial love toward others in the various jobs to which God has called us.
  

• Human life begins at conception and does not end on earth until natural death. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Marriage is an expression of love between a man and a woman which reflects the relationship of Christ and His bride, the Church. 

• We believe Jesus Christ will come again on the Last Day. On that day, He will judge the living and the dead. Eternal life will be granted to all believers in Him.
