2nd Corinthians 4:6 "For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our
hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
What We Believe
As Christians, we believe in and confess the Triune God: The Father, creator of all that exists, Jesus Christ, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God. We believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God.
God the Father:
We believe God is the Creator and the Ruler of the universe. God has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are coequal and are all God. Genesis 1:1; Psalms 19:1; Matthew 3:16-17; Acts 5:32; 1 Peter 3:10-11
God the Son:
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is coequal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. He was born of a virgin, Mary. Jesus lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14, 10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 14:3-4; Romans 1:3-4, 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13
God the Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son as God. His presence is a divine gift, and He brings a broken world to an understanding of God’s love and salvation. He provides the Christian with faith, power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His direction daily. 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 14:16-17, 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:23, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25
