God, Who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, reveals Himself through nature, the Bible, and, Jesus Christ. God, who created all things, is sovereign.
The Bible is the Word of God, and is the true guide for faith and life.
Our sinful nature created a chasm between us and God which was bridged by Jesus Christ, who died to redeem us and rose in victory over sin, Satan, and death. Salvation is by God's grace, as we place our trust in Christ and turn away from sin.
The Holy Spirit brings conviction, power, and guidance. Spirit fruit and spiritual gifts are the evidence of His presence in a believer.
The Church was commissioned by Christ to go to all people, make disciples, minister to human need, baptize those who repent, and nurture believers. Believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are symbols of relationship with Christ and other believers.
Christians are to grow in the likeness of Christ instead of following the patterns of this world. We should show Christ-like love, forgiveness, integrity, and positive communication, avoiding violence, hate, and malice. God’s design is purity, lifetime commitment in marriage, and harmony in the home.
Jesus Christ will return. While hell awaits unbelievers and the ungodly, heaven is the eternal destiny of believers.
