We Believe
1. The Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and is the authoritative Word of God in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16) (2 Peter 1:20-21)
2. In one triune God, existing eternally in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19)
3. Jesus Christ is true God and true man, and is the Savior of the world. In his death and resurrection, he won victory over death for us. Through his death on the cross, we receive forgiveness of our sins and eternal life. (Romans 5:8-9) (Philippians 2:5-11)
4. The professions of faith found in the Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian creeds.
5. The elements of bread and wine joined with God's Word, received in the Lord's Supper, are the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ given and shed for us for the forgiveness of sin. All are welcome to his table to receive the assurance of the forgiveness of sin. (Mt. 26:26-28) (Lk. 22:19-20) (1Cor. 11:23-26)
6. Baptism is a sacrament instituted by God as a means of grace for infants, children, and adults. As an act of God, through water and His Word, our sins are washed away and we are joined to the death and resurrection of our risen lord, Jesus Christ. "And if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." (Acts 22:16) (Romans 6:1-11)
7. We affirm that God created us male and female, and that it is God's will and intention that human sexual expression and fulfillment take place only within the boundaries of marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24-25) (Matthew 19:4-6) (Mark 10:2-9). And, we confess as individuals and as congregations that we have not fulfilled God's will in our decisions, modeling, and teaching - (LCMC).
