We believe and teach that the Holy Christian Church consists of all believers, in which the Gospel is rightly taught, and the Sacraments are rightly administered. The Church is the body of Christ, with Christ as the head.

We believe and teach that the Word of God, both written and preached, and the Sacraments are means of grace through which the Holy Spirit gives the gift of God's grace, creates faith in the hearts of individuals, forgives sins for the sake of Christ's death on the cross, and grants eternal life and salvation.

We believe and teach that eternal life comes from God "by divine grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone." It teaches that Jesus is the focus of the entire Bible and that faith in Him alone is the way to eternal salvation.

With the universal Christian Church, we teach and respond to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and Sacraments.

We believe and teach that the Holy Scriptures differ from all other books in the world in that they are the Word of God. They are inspired by God and are the sole rule and norm of faith and practice.
