We believe that there is only one true God (Isaiah 44:6).
He has made himself known as the triune God, one God in three persons. This is evident from Jesus' command to his disciples to baptize "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19).
Jesus said, "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him" (John 5:23).
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" (Psalm 19:1).
"Since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" (Romans 1:20).
"No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known" (John 1:18).
In Jesus, God has revealed himself as the Savior-God, who "so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
The
Bible
We believe that the entire Bible is Christ-centered. In the Old Testament God repeatedly promised a divine deliverer from sin, death, and hell. The New Testament proclaims that this promised deliverer has come in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus himself says of the Old Testament, "These are the Scriptures that testify about me" (John 5:39).
"spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21).
"The Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35).
"wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15)
The church is built on the teachings of the apostles and prophets (Ephesians 2:20).
Creation
We believe that the universe, the world, and the human race came into existence in the beginning when God created heaven and earth and all creatures (Genesis 1,2).
God created Adam and Eve in his own image (Genesis 1:26,27), that is, holy and righteous.
They were furthermore given the capacity to "subdue" God's creation (Genesis 1:28) and the responsibility to care for it (Genesis 2:15).
We believe that Adam and Eve lost their divine image when they yielded to the temptation of Satan and disobeyed God's command. This brought upon them the judgment of God: "You will surely die" (Genesis 2:17).
Since that time all people are conceived and born in a sinful condition (Psalm 51:5)
Since all people are by nature dead in sin and separated from God (Ephesians 2:1)
We believe that God in his gracious providence richly and daily provides for the bodily needs of all people (Psalm 145:15,16).
He furthermore protects believers against all danger by keeping evil away from them (Psalm 121:7)
Jesus
Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, one with the Father from all eternity (John 1:1,2).
In the course of time, he took a true and complete, yet sinless, human nature to himself (Galatians 4:4)
He was conceived as a holy child in the virgin Mary through a miracle of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35).
Jesus at all times possessed the fullness of the Deity with all divine power, wisdom, and glory (Colossians 2:9).
He lived as a man among mankind, endured suffering, and humbled himself to the shameful death on the cross (Philippians 2:7,8).
We believe that Christ descended into hell to proclaim his victory over Satan (1 Peter 3:18,19).
We believe that he rose again from the grave with a glorified body, ascended, and is exalted on high to rule with power over the world. (Philippians 2:9-11).
Jesus Christ was sent by the Father to redeem all people, that is, to buy them back from the guilt and punishment of sin. Jesus came to fulfill the law (Matthew 5:17)
He came to bear "the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:6), ransoming all people by his sacrifice for sin on the altar of the cross (Matthew 20:28).
His resurrection gives full assurance that God has accepted the payment he made for all (Romans 4:25).
We believe that Jesus is "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).
