What We Believe

Statement of Belief

The unchanging truths upon which our faith and ministry are established, affirmed with the Church in every generation.

The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, serving as the supreme rule for all faith and Christian practice.

The Holy Trinity

We believe in one eternal God, existing in three co-equal persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

Salvation Through Christ

We believe salvation is a free gift received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ's shed blood, victorious resurrection, and ascension.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the baptism and ongoing infilling of the Holy Spirit, empowering every believer with spiritual gifts to witness and bear fruit.

We Believe

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of the Father before all ages;
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God;
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;
through whom all things were made;
who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven
and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man;
and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered, died, and was buried;
and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
and He shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified;
who spoke through the prophets.
And in one holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic Church;
we confess one baptism for the remission of sins;
and we look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

Amen.

Our affirmation: With the Church of every age, we hold this ancient confession — Christ is Lord, the Holy Spirit is alive in us today, and our hope rests in the resurrection to come.
