God the Father is eternally God and the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present Creator and sustainer of all things. He is loving, having created man in His own image to have fellowship with Him and to reflect Him. After the rebellion and fall of man, He called mankind back to Himself through Christ. God is without beginning or end and does not change.

God the Son is the Second Person of the Trinity and the one and only Son of God. His incarnation—God entering the world in the person of Jesus Christ—is a unique event in which He became fully divine and fully human. From eternity past, God the Son was with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Through Him all things were created and are sustained.

He is and will forever remain fully God and fully man in one person. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, He lived a sinless life in willing submission to the Father. Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation—the only One able to rescue humanity from the penalty of sin through His actual death on the cross, which was the atonement for the sins of the world.

He rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven, and is seated with the Father. One day, He will return to judge the living and the dead and gather His people to be with Him forever.

The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity and is fully God. He is pre-existent, divine, and equal to the Father and the Son. The Spirit has intellect, emotion, and will, and carries out the works of the Father. He is our Comforter, Counselor, and the Spirit of Truth.

Given in fullness to the Church at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit continues to empower all believers for service, ministry, and witness. He guides us into all truth, reveals the thoughts of God, cleanses us from the old nature, and conforms us to the image of Christ. The Spirit dwells within each believer, strengthening us for a victorious Christian life and empowering us to share the Gospel.

The Bible is the written Word of God, containing the complete and only plan of salvation. It is without error in the original manuscripts and wholly inspired by the Spirit of God. As our fixed source of authority for faith and conduct, the authority of God’s Word is ultimate, final, and eternal—it cannot be added to, subtracted from, or superseded in any way.

The Bible defines marriage as one man and one woman for life. It is the truth—the source of doctrine, instruction, correction, and reproof—containing everything needed for godliness and practical Christian living. God’s Word is the standard by which we live and a source of great blessing.

All people are created in the image of God and designed for relationship and fellowship with Him. Because of sin, that relationship has been broken, and humanity is unable to restore it through personal effort. Every person is in need of a Savior—Jesus Christ—who alone provides forgiveness, right-standing with God, and an eternal future in His presence.

Salvation is freely offered to all who place their faith in Jesus Christ alone, trusting that His shed blood on the cross paid the debt of sin on their behalf. It cannot be earned by good works but is received through grace—the unmerited, undeserved favor of God—through faith alone.

Through adoption, all believers become part of the global Church—the family of God—through the blood of Christ. We live in the community of the Spirit with believers worldwide to glorify God, worship Him, and follow His ways. It is our mission to share the love and message of Christ with the world through the power of the Holy Spirit, to serve others, to help the hurting, and to make disciples. With the Spirit’s help, we commit to live for God rather than ourselves, following Jesus in obedience and holy living. Our journey of growth and discipleship includes becoming more like Him each day, transformed to reflect His nature in our hearts and in the world through the power of the Spirit.
