God:

We are people who believe and confess our faith in the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We trust and believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.

Jesus:

Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.

Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God fashions a new creation.

The Word:

We believe that the Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the Word of God, and is our rule of faith and life.

The proclamation of God’s message to us as both Law and Gospel is the Word of God, revealing judgment and mercy through word and deed, beginning with the Word in creation, continuing in the history of Israel, and centering in all its fullness in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

The canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God. Inspired by the Holy Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God’s revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them the Holy Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world.

Humanity:

We believe that all humanity possesses dignity, since God created all in His image, male and female, to glorify Him.

Salvation:

We believe and confess that all human beings are sinners, and that sinners are redeemed by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God alone justifies human beings by faith in Christ — a faith that God creates through the message of the Gospel. As ambassadors for Christ, God uses us to speak his Word and build his kingdom.

The Church:

We believe and confess that the church is the assembly of believers called and gathered by God around Word and Sacrament, and that the mission and ministry of the church is carried out within the context of individual congregations, which are able to work together locally and globally.

The Future:

We believe that, at a day and hour only known by God, our Lord Jesus Christ shall come again.

Community:

Committed to bridging ages, socio-economic status, race, and culture

Discipleship:

Training up disciples in reverence for God, who become servant-leaders who, in turn, train up the next generation of such disciples.

God Central:

We confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the Holy Scriptures. God is central and at the heart of all we are and do

Missions:

We believe that the mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel and to make disciples for Christ. Sharing Christ’s message of hope and reconciliation locally and abroad.

Serving:

Serving God and our community in His love according to our calling and spiritual gift-mix

Traditionally Grounded:

We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the Church across time and space.
