We accept the Holy Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, as the inspired and infallible Word of God and the ultimate authority for Christian doctrine and life.

We accept the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed as true expositions of the Christian Faith.

We believe that there is one true God existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, is God in the flesh, fully God and fully human.

We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and that no person can be accounted righteous in God's eyes by his or her own efforts.

We believe that to all who receive Jesus, who believe in his name, God gives authority to become children of God.  By God's grace, through the perfect and sinless life of Jesus and his suffering and death on the cross, the complete righteousness of Jesus is accounted to believers, and their sins are accounted to Jesus and paid for in his death.  We are saved by grace alone and only through faith in Jesus Christ.

We believe that on the third day after his crucifixion Jesus rose bodily from the dead.

We believe that after his resurrection Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, and continues to send Him to enable believers to live a life pleasing to God and to minister in the name of Jesus in the world.

We believe that the Christian Church is the Body of Christ and that each believer is a priest, ministering to other believers and to the world by the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Christ instituted the two sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper for his church.  We acknowledge that these sacraments are mysteries which we cannot fully understand, but we observe them in obedience to the Lord.  We believe that in baptism we are buried together with Christ and raised with him into newness of life.  We believe that in the Lord's Supper we receive the body and blood of Christ as a testimony to the New Covenant and the remission of sins.

We believe that Christ will come again at the last day.  There will be a bodily resurrection, of the believers unto the inheritance of eternal life, and of those who have rejected God's gift in Christ unto condemnation.  God will usher in the restoration of his creation in a new heaven and a new earth.
