God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and off ered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead aft er three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven’s glory and will return someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1–5; 14:10–30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9–11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with the power to live, understand spiritual truth, and guide in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7–13; 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18

The Bible is God’s Word to us. Human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, wrote it. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because God inspired it, it is the truth without any mixture of error.2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160; 12:6; Proverbs 30:5

Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s off er of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6; 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the Head. It comprises people growing in God, celebrating God together, connecting to each other, serving those in need, and sharing Christ in their community. The purpose of the Church is to glorify God by loving Him and making Him known to a lost world. The Church’s mission is to love God and Love people by fulfilling the Great Commission.Matthew 22:37; 28:18-20; Mark 16:14-16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-30; Luke 24:46-48; Ephesians 1:19-23; 4:15-16; Colossians 1:18; Acts 1:8

People were created to exist forever. We will exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17–18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Corinthians 2:7–9

We believe in the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to the time of death. All human life is precious in the sight of God.Luke 1:15; Galatians 1:15; Psalm 22:10; 71:6; 139:13-14; Mark 8:36; Psalm 72:14; Isaiah 43:4

We believe that unity regarding the foundational doctrines clearly taught in Scripture is essential. At the same time, we also aff irm that we must accept one another in the love of Jesus, recognizing there are some things open to diff erent interpretations. Together, we are the Body of Christ, called to build the Kingdom in unity and love.In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity.John 17:11; Romans 12:1-13; 14:1-23; Corinthians 12:4-6; 27-28; Ephesians 4:1-6
