There is only one true and living God, and He exists eternally in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each of which is
equally deserving of our worship and obedience.
Mankind
We are made in the image of God, to be like Him in character, the supreme object of His creation. Adam's sin of disobedience
made all of mankind subject to the wrath of God, inherently corrupt and utterly incapable of living in a manner acceptable to
God. Every human born since Adam has been sinful by nature. Therefore, our salvation is entirely though faith and the
redemptive death of Jesus Christ.
Eternity
Every person will exist eternally either separated from God or in union with God. To be eternally separated from God is hell
and to be eternally in union with Him is heaven.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is co-equal with God the Father and in His accepting the
characteristics of humanity, Jesus became simultaneously both fully man
and fully God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless human life, and
laid aside His right to the prerogatives of coexistence with God,
instead taking on the status of a servant. He accomplished our
redemption through His sacrificial death on the cross, was resurrected
and ascended to heaven. His death was voluntary and was made in full
substitution for us, that we might be freed from the punishment for our
sins.
Salvation
Salvation is gained by submissive faith in Christ alone, and not by any work of man. Our salvation was purchased by the shed
blood of Christ. We did not deserve it. We could never earn it. We can never lose it. No power in the universe can separate
God's children from Him.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third divine person of the trinity, co-equal
with God the Father and Jesus the Son. His work is to convict the world
of sin, to sanctify, instruct, administer spiritual gifts and empower
the church for service and seal believers to the day of redemption.
The Bible
The Bible is God's special, inerrant and sufficient revelation to man. Every word of the 66 books of the Bible is God-breathed,
inspired, and unique among all written religious documents.
The Return of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ will return to the Earth, at a time that cannot be known
to man. When He returns, He will call forth all believers, who will be
called forth from the Earth. There will be a seven-year tribulation
period after which Christ will come to Earth to where He will reign for
a thousand years. At the close of that millennium, the saved will enter
an eternal state of perfect fellowship with God and with one another.
