We Believe:
We believe the Bible to be the word of God and the final authority for faith and practice. We believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Savior of those who have faith in him. We believe in the Apostles' Creed. The Heidelberg Catechism, a sixteenth-century evangelical statement of faith, has played a particularly important role in our history.
