At St. Matthew’s our Christian faith is rooted in the good news of God in Jesus Christ. We call this the Gospel. The Gospel is the story of Jesus Christ, told, interpreted and celebrated in all its significance at the center of our faith and worship. It is normative for our lives as Christians.
We confess the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In our preaching and teaching we trust the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.
The Bible is where we find the Gospel (although the Bible contains much more than the Gospel), and we cannot know the Gospel without it.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God … ” (2 Tim. 3:16). We believe that Scripture alone is the source of all legitimate doctrine taught in the Christian Church. We further believe that the denial of any doctrine or teaching of Scripture undermines the confidence of salvation.
