Forgiveness is received through faith
We believe that people receive the benefits of Christ's life and sacrifice by faith in Hm. That faith is created by the Holy Spirit in our hearts as we hear the message of Jesus (The Gospel). We also believe that the Holy Spirit works through the promises of Baptism to create faith in the hearts of little children.

Concerning Heaven
We believe that the fellowship which God establishes with His
children on earth will continue after this life and believers
will live in joy with Him in heaven for all eternity.

Baptism and Holy Communion
We believe that God has given two special gifts to humans which
bring God's Word and promises to them using familiar visible
elements. These gifts are the Lord's Supper and Holy Baptism.

The fellowship of all believers
We believe that the church is the fellowship of all those who
have come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. The
purpose of the church is two-fold: to nurture faith in believers
and to share the message of Jesus Christ and His love with
non-believers so they too can become followers of Him.

GOD is Creator
We believe that God created the universe by His powerful Word
and sustains it by His mighty power. The height of GOD's
creation was man who was created in the image of God to live in
harmony with Him forever.

Jesus Christ was given as a sacrifice for all
We believe that God out of His pure love set in place a plan to
save mankind. That plan came to fulfillment when God sent His
one and only Son, born of a human mother, but conceived by God's
own Spirit. Jesus is the perfectly obedient Son of God who lived
a perfect life in our place, suffered the punishment we deserved
for our rebellion, and suffered Hell in our place on the cross.
God raised Jesus from the grave to show that His sacrifice of
love paid the price for all mankind's sin and rebellion.

Sin separates mankind from God
We believe our original human parents lost the perfect image of
God when they rebelled against Him. As a result, humans by
nature are enemies of God and are separated from Him. This
separation ultimately leads to death.
