First Worship: May 23, 1948
STATEMENT OF BELIEFS
We believe in the Triune God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that an individual is saved through faith alone (Sola Fide), by God’s grace alone (Sola Gratia) and revealed to us in God’s inerrant word alone (Sola Scriptura).
We believe that God comes to us through the Means of Grace – His Word and the Sacraments.
We confess our belief in the Christian creeds – Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed and Athenasian Creed.
