What We Believe
We believe...
...the Triune God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Son, Jesus Christ, is true God and true man. The Holy Spirit points to Jesus and works through the Word and Sacraments (Holy Baptism and Holy Communion) to create and sustain faith and to deliver the forgiveness of sins.
... the entire Bible is God's verbally inspired revelation of Himself to human beings. The Bible is, therefore, without any error. Its central message is the saving work of Jesus Christ through His life, death, and resurrection.
... God created humans in His own image, righteous and holy. When humans fell into sin, as evidenced by their rebellion against Him, God sent His only and eternal Son, Jesus Christ, to bear the guilt and punishment of all human sin.
... Jesus shared our human nature but lived the only perfect life on earth. He suffered crucifixion in our place, resulting in His death. He bodily rose again from the dead to bring victory over death and sin to all who trust in Him.
... through the Lord's Supper God delivers to individuals the body and blood of Christ in, with, and under the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins.
... through baptism God creates faith in Jesus, delivers the forgiveness of sins, and creates new and eternal life in Him.
... because of Jesus' payment for our sins, full and free forgiveness is offered to everyone. Those who believe this, trusting in Jesus Christ as their Savior, are certain they will join Him in a newly created heaven and earth after they pass through the gate of death and the grave.
