God (One & Triune)
Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God...”

There is only one true self-existing, self-sustaining God, creator of the heavens and the earth, sovereign ruler over all he has made, who eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. The 3 persons are equally and fully God, with different roles and functions. Not 3 Gods, but 3 persons in 1 God. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 45:5, John 17:3, Genesis 1:1-3, Matthew 3:13-17, Matthew 28:18-20, John 14:6)

Humanity

All humanity, Christ excluded, is sinful by both nature and choice (Genesis 6:5; Psalm 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23; 5:8, 12-21; 7:18; Ephesians 2:1-3).

Sin

The deserved penalty for sin is physical and spiritual death. Human being’s sin separates them from a holy God. (Genesis 2:15-17; Genesis 3:19; Romans 5:12; 6:23; James 1:14-15). There is nothing humanity can do to erase the stain of sin or to make payment for their sin. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

God the Father

We believe in God the Father, infinite, yet personal, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He orders, arranges and controls all things according to His own sovereign purposes. He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of each person, He hears and answers prayer, and He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Luke 10:21, 22; Matthew 23:9; John 3:16; 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Timothy 1:1-2; 2:5-6; 1 Peter 1:3; Revelation 1:6)

Jesus

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, was born of a virgin, and is both fully God and fully human (Matthew 1:20; Luke 2:52; John 1:1-4, 14; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3).

Jesus Christ died as the sacrificial substitute on the cross to pay the penalty for sin and imputed his righteousness upon those who have believed in him through faith. (John 1:29; 10:1-18; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 1:4; 1 Peter 3:18).

Jesus Christ physically rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will one day physically return to establish final justice and his eternal kingdom. (Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-53; John 20:1-31; 1 Corinthians 15:12-34; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Hebrews 9:28; 1 John 3:2; Revelation 1:7).

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is fully God and worthy of worship. By his power, Christ was resurrected, the church is gifted and empowered, sinners are convicted, and the scriptures are illuminated. He regenerates, baptizes, seals, and indwells all believers into the day of redemption. (1Corinthians 12-14; John 20:21-23; John 14:26; John 3:6-8; Romans 8:12).

The Resurrection

There will be a future physical resurrection of the dead. Only those who have placed their faith in Christ as evidenced by a turning from sin will be raised to eternal reward. Those who reject. Christ will remain dead in their sin and will be raised to an eternal death (Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15).

Salvation

Only through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ and repentance from sin can one be reconciled to God and experience true life and joy. Salvation from sin and its consequences is a gift of God's grace, purchased by the death and resurrection of Christ, and received by personal faith in Jesus Christ completely apart from the works, merits, and efforts of man. (John 3:18,14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21-26; 1 Timothy 2:5-6).

All those redeemed are kept by God's power, eternally secure in Christ, and may rejoice in the assurance of eternal life through the testimony of God's Word. (John 6:37-40, 10:27-30; Romans 8:14-16, 35-39; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 John 5:13)

The Church

The Universal Church, over which the Lord Jesus is the Head, is a spiritual body made up of all born-again peoples. The establishment and continuance of local churches under the authority of Jesus Christ is clearly mandated in the Scriptures. (Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Acts 14:27, 20:17; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11; Acts 20:28; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41-42)

The Scriptures

The Scriptures are the inspired word of God and are true, authoritative, and sufficient for salvation and life. (Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
