What We Believe

We adhere to the United Brethren Confession of Faith, a simple statement of basic doctrinal beliefs. This is the official doctrinal statement of the United Brethren in Christ denomination. The Confession of Faith states the following beliefs:

God

There is only one God. At the same time, He is a three-in-one, or triune, God--the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Though a man, Jesus was fully God. He was born of a virgin, died on the cross, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven. Someday, He will return.

The Bible

The Bible is the Word of God. It alone tells how people can enter heaven.

Salvation

A blood sacrifice is required to remove sin. Christ’s death accomplished that for everyone. Through Him, we can receive eternal life. To be a true Christian, a person must believe in Christ, repent and be forgiven of his sins, and obey Christ.

Christian Ordinances

We believe every Christian should be baptized and participate in communion (the Lord’s Supper).

Our denomination also has a set of Core Values which apply to all of our churches around the world.
