FAITH IN GOD
There is but one God, omnipresent, infinite in power and knowledge, perfect in Justice, goodness, and love. He is the creator of the universe, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each of whom possesses all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.

FAITH IN SCRIPTURE
The sole basis for our faith and beliefs is the Bible, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. Every word was inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is without error in its original manuscripts, and has been passed down to with great accuracy. It is the supreme and final authority in faith and life in this age.

MAN
God created man and woman in His own image. They lived in perfect relationship with God. God instituted marriage, which is the life long union of one man and one woman and is the foundation for bearing and raising children in a family.

THE FALL
The first woman was deceived and the first man rebelled against God. In judgement God brought death into the world and all of creation fell from its state of perfection. Since the fall, all human beings are born with a corrupted nature and without spiritual life and are under the wrath of God because of their sin.

FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
God the Father, by His own choice, for His own glory, and out of the love for sinful men and women, sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to reconcile sinners to Himself. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spririt and was born of a virgin. He was God in the flesh, both fully God and fully man.

THE RESURRECTION
Three days after His crucifixion, God raised Jesus from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which he lived and died. He bodily ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus is the only mediator between God and man. He makes intercession for His own.

FAITH IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ, to convict men and women of their sins, and to impart new life into all who put their faith in Christ. He permanently indwells believers from the moment of spiritual birth. He guides believers into spiritual truths and empowers them to live a life pleasing God.
