In an age of skepticism, we believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
In an age of guilt, we believe that Christ died on the cross to remove the power of sin, death, and Satan from our lives.
In an age of fear and uncertainty, we believe that Christ rose bodily from the grave to assure us of the victory over death.
In an age of confusion, we believe that the whole Bible is God's Word, free from all errors, contradictions, and myths.
In an age of unfaithfulness to God's Word, we believe we are to test all teachings to see if they are of God.
In an age of do-it-yourselfism, we believe the Holy Spirit creates and strengthens faith through the Means of Grace: the Gospel in Word and Sacrament.
In an age of many different philosophies, we believe that our lives should be guided by God Almighty through His inspired Word.
In an age of the social gospel, we believe the church's God-given mission is to proclaim the true Gospel; repentance, remission of sins, and life eternal in Jesus' name
