God makes Himself known to us through His Word, the Bible.</div> <bR> <div> We believe that the chief message of the Bible is that Jesus is Lord and Savior. Born of a woman in Bethlehem, He is truly God and Man. Through His sinless life and holy death on the cross, He paid the penalty for our sins. This enables us, sinners though we be, to enjoy life with God both now and forever in heaven.</div> <bR> <div> We believe God comes to us in His Word and Sacraments. His Holy Spirit is working in our hearts, growing us up spiritually, and causing us to respond to His love by serving God and our fellow men.</div> <bR> <div> We encourage you to hear what we believe, teach and confess by attending any of our Bible study groups or worship services.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
