There is one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who subsists as coequals in unity, and also as three separate, distinct Persons.
Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and man, lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of human beings, was buried, rose from the grave, and ascended into heaven where He will continually minister as our Great High Priest and Advocate. We believe in the literal, bodily return of Jesus Christ to this earth.
The Holy Spirit is the divine helper, assistant, counselor and instructor, and His work is to reveal Christ, convict sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen and sanctify the soul.
The Bible is God’s Holy Word, without error, and is the sole authority for life.
Human beings are the special creation of God, made in His image, and through the sin of the first man, Adam, have inherited a sinful nature, and thus are in need of salvation.
Salvation is a gift through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ, and every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ and will spend eternity in heaven, while those who die without salvation in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in hell.
