Our Beliefs
I. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
II. And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord;
III. Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary;
IV. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;
V. The third day He rose again from the dead;

VII. From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit.
VIII. I believe in a holy catholic church, the communion of saints;

And the life everlasting. AMEN.

Our Only Comfort
Q. WHAT IS YOUR ONLY COMFORT IN LIFE AND IN DEATH?
A. That I am not my own, but belong–body and soul, in life and in death–to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.
He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me whole-heartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
