God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The three are co-equal and are one God.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all
people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to
Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the
moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, for understanding spiritual truth, and gives guidance 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.
The Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant Word and is our ultimate authority for truth.
People are made in the spiritual image of God, but we are all marred by our basic human nature which separates us from God - Sin.
Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We are saved by faith, not by self-improvement or good works. Only by
trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can we be saved from eternal, spiritual death—the penalty of sin. Our salvation
is secure and we cannot lose our salvation. God’s grace and keeping power give us eternal security as believers.
We will either 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.
