THERE IS ONE GOD, WHO ETERNALLY EXISTS IN THREE PERSONS — FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.

Each are equal in divine nature and perfect in every way. God the Father is a personal spirit. God has revealed Himself through His Word, nature, man’s conscience, prophets and His Son. While some of His attributes are comprehended (e.g. his love, justice, and compassion), other attributes are incomprehensible (e.g. His eternality, omnipresence, omnipotence and omniscience). The Father is the creator of the universe and has purposed all events in history according to His eternal plan.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE SECOND MEMBER OF THE TRINITY AND THE PERFECT IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD.

He is God’s uniquely only Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin. When He was born on the earth, He became fully man while continuing to be fully God. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross as our substitute to pay the penalty for the sins of the world. He was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. He ascended back into heaven where He currently is interceding for us as our high priest.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE THIRD MEMBER OF THE TRINITY.

He came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. He baptizes and seals, regenerates, empowers and sets apart Christ-followers. He is the believer’s helper, guide, teacher and source of power to live a Godly life.

MAN WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE REFLECTING GOD’S LIKENESS.

Adam, representative of the human race, fell into sin, suffered spiritual death and greatly marred the image of God in man. All mankind has subsequently inherited a sin nature and the consequences of sin. Because of man’s guilty state, he was incapable of atoning for his sin. God’s love prompted Him to send Jesus to the earth to die for the sins of the world, offering man forgiveness and salvation solely through faith in Jesus as a free gift. Redemption is based on the grace of God and the work of Christ on our behalf.

ALL BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST, ARE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY, ARE BAPTIZED BY THE SPIRIT AND JOINED TOGETHER INTO ONE BODY, THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, WHOSE HEAD IS JESUS.

Its mission is to make disciples and preach the good news of the gospel of Christ to all nations. The local church is a household of faith who associate together for worship, gathering, giving and serving. The expressions symbolizing the spiritual unity of believers are baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

THE BIBLE IS A DIVINELY INSPIRED REVELATION OF GOD, WHICH CAME THROUGH THE AGENCY OF MAN, PRESERVING BOTH A DIVINE AND HUMAN ORIGIN.

It is inerrant in the original manuscripts and authoritative on matters of faith and practice. Believers in Jesus Christ are instructed, through the scriptures, to live for the glory and honor of God. The scriptures teach us to express love for God and love for man, to live a life that is increasingly free from sin and more like Jesus.

THE PERIOD OF GREAT TRIBULATION WILL BE CLIMAXED BY THE RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO THE EARTH.

He returns, in person, on the clouds with power and glory to introduce the millennial age, to bind Satan and place him in the abyss, and to lift the curse which now rests upon all creation. At the end of Jesus’ millennial reign unbelievers will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity while believers will enter into the new heaven and new earth and live with God in His presence for all eternity.
