About God
There is one and only one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each member of the godhead has unique personal attributes yet are undivided in nature and essence. (Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
God the father
It is to the Father that we must be reconciled. it is He who initiates the press of salvation and calls us, justifies us, and glorifies us. The Father is the Sender of both the Son and the Spirit. (Romans 8:30; John 3:16, 14:16-17)
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, became man without ceasing to be God. Jesus Christ purchased the redemption of all those who profess Him as Lord and Savior through His physical death and resurrection from the dead. The resurrected Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God as the Great High Priest and Intercessor. Jesus will come again to judge both the living and the dead. (Luke 1:34-35; Romans 3:23-25; Hebrews 7:25; Romans 14:9-10)
Holy spirit
The Holy Spirit is the One who convicts the world of sin and leads them on to righteousness. It is through His baptism and indwelling of believers that seals them unto the day of redemption. He is our parakletos - our Helper, Counselor, Advocate, Comforter - sent by the Father. (Romans 8:9-11; John 14:16-17)
About Humanity
Humans, being created in the image of God as man and woman, are unique from the rest of God’s creation. Although they were called to take dominion over and protect the earth, humans chose to disobey God and introduced sin into this world. On their own, men and women are totally depraved and unable to remedy the sin issue by their own strength or efforts. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:19; Psalm 5:9; Mark 7:21-23)
About Eternity
As eternal beings, every individual will spend an eternity with God or apart from Him. To be with God is eternal life while to be apart from Him is eternal death and damnation. (Revelation 20:15)
About Salvation
Salvation is a free gift given to us by God in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Jesus is the only way, truth, and life - there is no other path to the Father and eternal salvation except through Him. Therefore, in order to be saved, we must confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead; submitting to his lordship and authority over us. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1)
About the Bible
All Scripture is the inerrant, perfect Word and breathe of God, eternally relevant. It is th message of God’s redemption history of man, written by human authors and inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Bible guides all followers of Jesus Christ as the ultimate authority for faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16)
About the Church
A church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural officers are elders and deacons. (Revelation 19:7; Matthew 5:13-16)
About the Sacraments
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. ...It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. (Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2: 8-9; Matthew 28:19-20)
Communion is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming. (Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19,20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)
Evangelism & Missions
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations... to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
