    We believe that the only true God is the Triune God; one God made of three distinct and separate persons.


    • The Father, who creates and preserves all things. (Hebrews 11:1-3)
    • The Son, who redeems the world by His death and resurrection. (John 3:16; John 5:39; Acts 4:12)
    • The Holy Spirit, who brings and keeps people in saving faith in Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:3)
  • Salvation

    We beleive that God desires all people to be saved and know the truth.


    • God loves all people and wants them to come to love Him and each other. (Ezekiel 33:11; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 4:16)
    • We are sinful at birth, alienated from God, and must be born again in faith. (John 3:1-8, Romans 3:23; Colossians 1:21; Ephesians 2:1-5)

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe that the Holy Spirit brings us to and keeps us in saving faith through God’s word, holy baptism and the Lord’s supper.


    • We cannot believe in Jesus or come to Him without the assistance of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:3)
