We believe the living and only true God is the Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Sovereign Ruler of all that exists. This One God is revealed in Scripture as the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In God is all the fullness of righteousness, justice, goodness and love. In life and in death we belong to God, whom alone we worship and serve.
We believe in Jesus Christ as truly God and truly human, born of the virgin Mary, who showed us in word and deed how to live, died for our sins, bodily rose from the grave, and ascended into heaven. Jesus Christ is Lord of all and Head of His Body the Church. He will return in glory to judge the world in righteousness, and reign forever.
We believe the Holy Spirit fills our hearts by faith, teaches us the way of Christ through Scripture, and gives gifts for Christian service to every believer. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, assures us that we are forgiven and made new in Christ, and
empowers us to live the Christian life.
We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the authoritative and inspired Word of God. The same Holy Spirit who inspired the authors of the Bible also gives understanding to readers of the Bible who seek God’s saving truth. The Bible calls all people to an obedient response to the Good News of God’s saving love in Jesus Christ who is the Living Word.
We joyfully affirm and stand on the historic orthodox foundation of Christianity as seen in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds and the other confessional standards of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A.
