• We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired, inerrant Word of God.

• We believe that in the beginning God created the world in six regular days by the power of His Word.

• We believe that the world, which was perfect, became corrupted through the fall of Adam and Eve into sin.

• We believe that everyone born since the fall into sin is born with a sin-fallen nature.

• We believe that God’s answer for sinful mankind is the promised Savior, in the person of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

• We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary.

• We believe that by His perfect life Jesus fulfilled the requirements of God’s Law as our substitute.

• We believe that by His innocent suffering and death Jesus paid all the guilt of our sins so that whoever believes in Him has forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

• We believe that Jesus rose bodily from the grave on Easter Sunday morning.

• We believe that Jesus has returned to the glory of heaven and rules the universe in the interest of His Church.

• We believe that Jesus will return on the last day and that He will divide the believers from the unbelievers.  He will condemn the unbelievers to eternal suffering in hell and He will take the believers to be with Him into heaven forever.

• We believe that until Jesus returns, He has given His Church the mission to make disciples of all nations by preaching His word and administering the sacraments by which God the Holy Spirit creates and strengthens faith.

• We believe that while on earth, Jesus instituted two sacraments, or sacred acts, that provide and assure us of God's forgiveness. Through God's Word in connection with earthly elements, the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper (or Holy Communion) confer to us the blessings of forgiveness, salvation and also the strength to lead God-pleasing lives.
