We Believe in . . .

  • God the Father, the mighty creator of all things seen and unseen
  • Jesus Christ, who is God's only son and who is one with the Father 

We believe that . . .
  • Jesus came for us and for our salvation from heaven
  • for our sake Jesus was crucified, died and was buried and
  • he rose on the third day and ascended into heaven where he now reigns with the Father and that he intercedes for us

We believe in . . .
  • The Holy Spirit, God at work in the world and in the Church even now, who leads us into all truth
  • understanding the meaning of that truth through the Holy Spirit, who guides the Church in the true interpretation of the Scriptures and enables us to grow in the likeness of Christ and
  • the holy Church as one body under Jesus who follows his teachings and those of his apostles and in
  • one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and to become in union with Christ in his death and resurrection




The Holy Eucharist . . . 
           (celebrated every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening)
. . . also called the Lord's Supper, and Holy Communion, the Holy Eucharist is the sacrament commanded by Christ for the continual remembrance of his life, death, and resurrection, until his coming again. The outward and visible sign in the Eucharist is bread and wine, given and received according to Christ's command. The inward and spiritual grace in the Holy Communion is the Body and Blood of Christ given to his people, and received by faith for the forgiveness of our sins, the strengthening of our union with Christ and one another, and the foretaste of the heavenly banquet which is our nourishment in eternal life.

The Bible 
is the Word of God and is central to our beliefs. 
We know it as "the living word" because God inspired the scriptures and because God still speaks to us through the Bible.
