The Confession
This is the faith we confess — ancient and biblical , held in common with Christ’s Church across the centuries: six articles, one Gospel .
The Statement
Six articles of faith
Article II
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; died and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead.

Article IV

Article V
The Scriptures
We believe that the Bible, both the Old and New Testament, is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. The Bible is without error in the original writings, the sufficient and complete revelation of His will for salvation and guides believers in how they should live.

“Contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints.” Jude 3 · BSB
An Ancient Confession
The same faith, confessed through the ages.
If these words sound familiar, they should. Our statement stands in the stream of the Church’s historic creeds — truths Christians have confessed together for nearly two thousand years.
2nd–4th Century
The Apostles’ Creed
Rooted in the baptismal confessions of the earliest church: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the forgiveness of sins; the life everlasting.
AD 325
The Nicene Creed
One God, and one Lord Jesus Christ — true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father.
AD 381
Constantinople
The Holy Spirit confessed as “the Lord, the giver of life” — the very words of our third article.
AD 451
Chalcedon
Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man — one person in two natures, without confusion and without division.
