Summary
of Our Christian Faith
We believe:
-
In one holy, loving, all-powerful, and
gracious Creator God who exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
-
That the Bible is the inspired and
infallible Word of God, fully authoritative for all matters of faith
and practice.
-
That
Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully human, is
both Lord and Savior.
-
That
Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for human sin, that he was
raised bodily on the third day, and that he ascended to heaven and
sits at the right hand of God the Father.
-
That
Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and dead and to reign
over all things.
-
In
the Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to repentance, who gives eternal
life to believers, and who lives in them to conform them to the image
of Jesus Christ.
-
That
Christians should gather in regular fellowship and live lives of faith
that make evident the good news that humans enter the kingdom of God
by putting their trust in Jesus Christ.
-
In
the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
That
salvation comes not by works, but only by God's grace through faith in
Jesus Christ.
-
In
the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
