There is one and only one God. He is the Creator, Preserver, and Redeemer of the universe. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, intelligent, spiritual, and personal. He has revealed himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the mystery we call the Trinity.

The Father
God the Father reigns over all Creation throughout all time. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfect in love, in justice and in mercy. Nothing takes place outside of his perfect will for his Creation.

​The Son
He is the eternal Son of God, co-equal with the Father, and the central figure of all Scripture and history. He became a man, Jesus of Nazareth: born of a virgin, fully human but without sin, the perfect example of obedience and the character of God. He paid completely for the sin of mankind by his sacrificial death on a cross, then rose from the dead after three days. He now resides in Heaven and in the heart of everyone who believes in Him as the perfect Mediator between God and man, and will return someday as Lord and Judge to complete this age of history.

The Holy Spirit
​He is the fully divine Spirit of God, the third person of the Trinity. He inspired the writing of the Bible, the Word of God. He draws people to Christ, brings about their salvation through Christ, and points their worship toward Christ. He resides in every believer in Christ as a seal of their salvation, and brings about the will of God in their lives.

It is the divinely inspired, completely true, and faithfully communicated Word of God. It reveals to us what God is like, his plan for humanity and the standards by which we are judged. It reveals the truth and character of Christ, and assists humanity in coming to a saving knowledge of Him.

All humanity is created in the image of God and designed for relationship with Him. Because all people are created in God’s image, all life is sacred, and should be valued and protected. The first humans freely chose to disobey God, and all of mankind is now separated from God by our disobedience. Because of this separation, we are unable to do anything on our own to repair our brokenness or avoid the penalty for our disobedience.

Salvation is the free gift of God to anyone who will receive it. We receive salvation when we turn away from our own way of living, and fully embrace Christ and what He has done to save us. There is no other way to be saved apart from Jesus Christ. Because salvation is a gift, and has nothing to do with our efforts, there is no way for a believer in Christ to lose his/her salvation.

The Church is the body of Christ, made up of believers in Christ to carry out His work on earth. It exists for two main purposes: to worship God and to tell the world about Christ. There are two ordinances that Jesus left for the church to administer:

• Baptism:  The immersion of a believer in water to signify publicly his or her faith in Christ.

• Lord’s Supper:  A meal to be taken by believers to remember the death of Christ and the salvation that it brings them.

Humans are eternal beings, created by God to exist forever. Where we spend eternity depends on our relationship with Christ. Those who know Christ as their Savior will spend eternity with God in a place called Heaven. Those who do not know Christ will spend eternity separated from God in a place called Hell.
