With  Christians  of  other   affiliations  we  confess  our   faith corporately  as  expressed  by  the  historic  Apostles  Creed:

“I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;  and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:  who  was  conceived   by   the   Holy  Spirit,  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary,      suffered   under   Pontius   Pilate,  was  crucified,  dead,  and      buried;  the  third  day  he  rose from the dead; he ascended       into heaven,  and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;  from  thence  he  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick      and the dead.   I believe in the Holy Spirit,  the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”

We believe that humankind stands in need of salvation, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 6:23), and that God alone has provided for our redemption through Jesus (Romans 6:23).  We believe that through faith if we “confess with our lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
