The Bible

We believe that the entire Bible is the verbally inspired word of God, absolutely without error.

2 Timothy 3:15-16

God

We believe that the only true God is the Holy Trinity — one God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28: 18-20

Man

We believe that since the Fall, all men and women are born in sin, and are corrupt and sinful without free will in spiritual matters.

Genesis 3:1-7

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ, both true God and true man, was sent by God's boundless love to perfectly obey His laws and atone for the sins of all humanity.

Luke 1:26-38

Salvation

We believe people are justified entirely by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as their own personal savior, and without any works or merits of their own, and that this is the only way to salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-9

The Church

We believe that the Holy Christian Church is all people who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The visible church is the local congregation where God's people gather around God's word and sacraments.

Romans 12:4-5

Baptism

We believe that baptism is a gift of God whereby the Holy Spirit works through the word of God attached to the waters of baptism to create and sustain faith. 

1 Peter 3:21

The Lord's Supper

We believe that the true body and blood of Jesus are present in and with the bread and wine in Holy Communion, and that Christ offers the forgiveness of sins through this sacrament to all who confess their sins and trust in him.

1 Corinthians 10:16-17

Christ's Return

We believe that Christ will return visibly on the last day to judge the earth. At this time, all the dead will be raised, their souls reunited with their bodies, and those who reject Christ will go into everlasting damnation — and those who know Christ, by faith, will entery eternal life.

1 John 4:16-18
