We Believe:
That the Holy Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and
therefore without error in all it says and teaches.
That the virgin birth and the resurrection of Jesus Christ
as well as all other biblical miracles are true and actual events and not myths
or exaggeration.
That man is sinful from conception, separated from God, and
deserving of eternal punishment.
That man can not save himself by his own good works and
deeds since they are impure and imperfect.
That Jesus Christ, God's Son and true God Himself, having
also become true man, lived, suffered and died for the sins of all people, that
we would not be condemmed but saved.
That all who believe in Jesus Christ as true God and Savior
are saved and have forgiveness, peace, and eternal life.
That God gives us and strengthens our faith by the Holy
Spirit working through His Word and the Sacraments (Holy Baptism and the Lord's
Supper).
That every Christian leads a new life of repentance, loving
charity towards his neighbor, and praise to God as a result of God's new life
in him.
