The Bible is God's Word, spoken through human writers. Sin is revolt against God in thought, word and deed. Every person is guilty of sin against God.
Sin also is the cause of the bad things people do to each other.
We build our lives on Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus Christ is the only, perfect, son of God. We believe that Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience to God's Law, died for us and for every person in the world. We view Baptism and the Lord's Supper as the means by which God gives people His grace. It is a gift from God that people receive through faith in Jesus Christ.
