We believe in the one God who is three persons (the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, the second person of the Trinity, and that he became man and was born of the virgin Mary. He lived and died to save his people from their sins. He is the way, the truth, and the life; he is our only hope in life and death. We learn about our God, about our sin, and about our need for salvation through Jesus Christ from the Bible, the Word of God, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We confess and hold to the Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed, and we believe that there are two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
