What We Believe

God's grace welcomes you, no matter who you are or where you're from - and so do we! We believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. By his perfect life and innocent death, he saved everyone from the ravages of sin and victoriously rose again to give eternal life to all. Jesus makes us special people, right with God and ready for life! We learn this from the Bible, God's authentic message of grace and guidance.

What We Believe

"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32). With these words Jesus indicates that he wants Christians to confess publicly what the believe in their hearts.

What We Believe

  • In an age of anxiety, we believe that real peace comes from Jesus Christ.
  • In an age of confusion, we believe that the Bible is the word of God, without error, and it will endure forever.
  • In an age of doubt, we believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
  • In an age of guilt, we believe that Jesus died on the cross to remove the power of sin from our lives.
  • In an age of hopelessness, we believe that Jesus rose physically from death–and so too will we rise.
  • In an age of skepticism, we believe that God is at work in the sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion.
  • In an age of despair, we believe God’s promises to heal and transform us.
  • In an age of violence, we believe that God calls us to embody his love in the world.
  • In an age of constant change, we believe in the unchanging Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
