The Bible is the inspired Word of God, which provides us with His plan of salvation and His standard for living.
		God, the Father Almighty, is the Creator of the universe, Lord over all He has created, and is alive and active in our lives today.
		Jesus Christ is true God and true man, the only Savior of the world, through whom we have forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
		The Holy Spirit brings us to faith through the Gospel and strengthens us in our daily walk with God.
		We are saved from eternal condemnation only by believing that Jesus Christ is our Savior.
		The grace and mercy of God are brought to bear on the life of an individual through Baptism.
		The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ are present in, with, and under the bread and wind in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, and by it we are reassured of the forgiveness of sins and the promise of salvation.
		The Christian Church is a gathered community of people who profess the Christian faith, worship together and administer the Sacraments as Christ instructed, who teach and learn God’s Word, and who serve God by ministering to the needs of others.
