The Bible: The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, and the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.
God: There is only one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where he is our high priest and advocate at the right hand of the Father, and will return personally in power and glory at the end of the age.
Holy Spirit: The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men, regenerate sinners, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living.
Fall of Mankind: Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin. This fall has affected every aspect of the character and capacities of humanity such that all people naturally think and act selfishly, and are liable to eternal judgment.
Salvation: It is only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit that man can obtain spiritual life and salvation, which is by grace through faith alone. Christ’s sacrificial death and resurrection provide the only ground of justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are saved.
Church: There is a spiritual union of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ which spans all times and places.
Final Judgment: Both the saved and the lost will be resurrected. Those who are saved will be glorified to eternal life in the Lord’s presence, and those who are lost will be eternally punished.
Human Life: All human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death.
Sexuality and Marriage: God creates each person to be either male or female, an identity that must remain unchanged. God intends marriage to be a union between one man and one woman in a single, exclusive, lifelong relationship, the only proper context for sexual intimacy.
