Summary
of Our Christian Faith
We believe:
- In
one holy, loving, all-powerful, and gracious Creator God who exists in three
Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- That
the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, fully authoritative
for all matters of faith and practice.
- That
Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully human, is both
Lord and Savior.
- That
Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for human sin, that he was
raised bodily on the third day, and that he ascended to heaven and sits at
the right hand of God the Father.
- That
Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead and to reign
over all things.
- In
the Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to repentance, who gives eternal life to
believers, and who lives in them to conform them to the image of Jesus
Christ.
- That
Christians should gather in regular fellowship and live lives of faith that
make evident the good news that humans enter the kingdom of God by putting
their trust in Jesus Christ.
- In
the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
- That
salvation comes not by works, but only by God’s grace through faith in
Jesus Christ.
- In
the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
