God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are co-equal and are one God.  God is Holy, all-powerful, all-knowing, ever present and never changes, and therefore, deserves our highest praise and worship.

Genesis 1:1,26; Psalm 19:1, 90:2; Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14;  James 1:17;  Revelations 1:8; I Chronicles 29:11-12; Hebrews 13:15; Psalm 100

Jesus Christ is the only Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father and is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus is “the bridge” between the Holy God and sinful man. 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 satan (sin and death). He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords and will judge the living and the dead.

John 1:1-5; Isaiah 9:6-7; Isaiah 53; Hebrews 13:8; John 14:6-11; Hebrews 4:14-15 and 12:2; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Hebrews 2:14-15; I John 3:8; Acts 1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15;  Hebrews 9:27-28; Acts 10:42

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son.  He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for Godly living, understanding of spiritual truth, and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ.  He gives every believer one or more spiritual gifts when saved. The Holy Spirit’s sanctifying work in every believer continually encourages holy living or Christ-likeness in their words, thoughts and deeds.

John 16:7-15, 14:16-17; I Corinthians 2:12, 3:16;  Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 12:4-7; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18; I Peter 1:14-16; I Thessalonians 5:23 -24; Titus 2:11-14

The Bible is the inerrant Word of God to mankind for all eternity. It was written by human authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs, revealing the will of God in all things necessary for salvation, faith and daily living.

I Peter 1:23-25; Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21;  Hebrews 4:12

People are made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. However, because of the original sin of Adam, all are born with a sinful nature and therefore, are separated from God.

Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; James 1:18; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23, 5:19, 8:6-8; Isaiah 59:1-2

Salvation from sin is God's free gift to the world, but each man must accept it. One can never atone (make up) for their sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by believing in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When individuals turn from their self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, they are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into their life by faith.

Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16; John 1:12; Titus 3:5; Romans 5:1

Peoples’ spirits were created to exist forever. Each soul will either exist eternally in hell (separated from God by sin) or eternally with God in heaven because of forgiveness and salvation. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16;  John 5:24; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 25:44,46; Revelations 22:3-5
