About God...
He is the Creator and the Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. (
Genesis 1:1
,
26-27
;
3:22
).
About Jesus Christ...
He is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended into Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (

;

).
About the Holy Spirit...
He is the co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift (or gifts) when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily. (
2 Corinthians 3:17
,
John 16:7

,

;
Acts 1:8
)
About the Bible...
It is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error. (
2 Timothy 3:16
,
2 Peter 1:20
-
21
;
2 Timothy 1:13
)
About Salvation...
It is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. (
Romans 6:23
,
Ephesians 2:8
-
9
,
John 1:12
,
14:6
)
About Baptism...
Baptism is the outward expression of an inward experience displaying the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ in the life of the one being baptized. A person who has received Jesus Christ as Savior by faith and indicates a commitment to follow Christ as Lord will be received for baptism. Baptism shall be by immersion unless the person has physical limitations, which prevent it.
About the Lord’s Supper...
The Lord’s Supper shall be observed at least quarterly in worship and at selected times by individual small groups. All who profess “Jesus is Lord” shall be invited to participate.
