There exists only one God, creator and sustainer of all
things, infinitely perfect and eternally co-existing in three persons-Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Scriptures, both Old and New testaments, are the inspired, inerrant and
trustworthy Word of God, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation
of human beings, and the final authority for all matters about which it speaks.
Human nature derives from two historical personas, male and female, created in
God's image. They were created perfect, but they sinned, plunging themselves and
all human beings into sin, guilt, suffering, and death.
The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and his bodily resurrection provide
the only ground for justification, forgiveness, and salvation for all who
believe. Only those who trust in Him alone are born of the Holy Spirit and are
true members of the Church; only they will spend eternity with Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the agent of regeneration and renewal for believers in Jesus
Christ. He makes the presence of Jesus Christ real in believers, and He
comforts, guides, convicts, and enables believers to live in ways that honor
Christ.
