We are a Christian church that gathers to praise God, to be strengthened by his Word, and to reach out to those around us in Christian love. As a Biblical church, we give God’s Word first place in our faith and in our daily lives.
What We Believe
- God — There is one true God, who reveals himself as three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—yet one God (Triune). (Matthew 28:19)
- The Bible — The Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error, given to reveal salvation to us. (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16)
- Sin and Death — All have sinned and fall short of the perfection that God, in his holiness, demands. The result of sin is death—ultimately, eternal separation from God and from everything good, apart from his salvation. (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23)
- Jesus — Jesus is the Son of God, true God and true man, the Savior of all. He gave his life to pay for our sins and to grant us forgiveness. (John 1:1; John 3:16)
How God Saves Us
By Grace Alone. There is absolutely nothing we could ever do to earn or deserve God’s forgiveness. He saves us and gives us faith purely out of his great love for us. That’s grace.
Through Faith Alone. By his Word and the Sacraments—Baptism and the Lord’s Supper—God creates faith in our hearts and makes us his children. That faith is a free gift. We need nothing more than faith in Jesus as our Savior from sin to be right with God.
From Scripture Alone. Scripture is the one place we can go to learn all we need to know about our relationship with God. Unlike everything else in life, the Bible is eternally relevant truth that never changes. What God says about himself—and what he says about you—is true today, tomorrow, and forever. That’s why we are committed to never adding to or subtracting from what he has graciously told us in his Word.
