1.
We believe in one God, the sovereign
Creator and Sustainer of all things,
infinitely perfect and eternally existing
in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. To him be all honor, glory and
praise forever!
2.
Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh
through His miraculous conception by the
Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He who is
true God became true man united in one
Person forever. He died on the cross a
sacrifice for our sins according to the
Scriptures. On the third day he arose
bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven,
where, at the right hand of the Majesty on
High, He now is our High Priest and
Mediator.
3.
The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ
and to apply the saving work of Christ to
our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws
us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, He
gives new life to us, empowers and imparts
gifts to us for service. He instructs and
guides us into all truth, and seals us for
the day of redemption.
4.
Being estranged from God and condemned by
our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly
dependent upon the work of God’s free
grace. God credits His righteousness to
those who put their faith in Christ alone
for their salvation, thereby justifies them
in His sight. Only such as are born of the
Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become
children of God and heirs of eternal life.
5.
The true Church is composed of all persons
who through saving faith in Jesus Christ
and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit
are united together in the body of Christ.
The Church finds her visible, yet
imperfect, expression in local
congregations where the Word of God is
preached in its purity and the sacraments
are administered in their integrity; where
scriptural discipline is practiced, and
where loving fellowship is maintained. For
her perfecting, she awaits the return of
her Lord.
6.
Jesus Christ will come again to earth –
personally, visibly, and bodily – to judge
the living and the dead, and to consummate
history and the eternal plan of God. “Even
so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Rev. 22:20)
7.
The Lord Jesus Christ commands all
believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout
the world and to make disciples of all
nations. Obedience to the Great Commission
requires commitment to “Him who loved us
and gave Himself for us.” He calls us to a
life of self-denying love and service. “For
we are His workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them.”
(Eph. 2:10)
