what we believe
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God' only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven,
He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit and the holy catholic Church.
We believe in the Christian baptism (by immersion) for the forgiveness of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ( Acts 2:37-38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
