The sole basis of our belief is the Bible,
which is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it
bears.
As the Bible teaches, there is one God,
eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each possessing all the attributes of
Deity.
God created humans to have fellowship with
Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way.
As a result, we need God's saving grace to
end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God's saving grace — not human effort — and must be
received personally by repentance and faith.
Jesus Christ, second Person of the
Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sins by dying on the cross as our
substitute.
This accomplishes salvation for all who
receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God. He
will return to earth to consummate history.
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ
and equips believers for personal growth and service to the church.
The church's role is to glorify God and
serve those in need. At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Those forgiven
through Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God
