• About God
  God is the creator and ruler of the universe.  He eternally exists in 3 persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  These three are co-equal and are one God.

Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:18

• About Jesus
  Jesus is 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 to heaven's glory and will return someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

John 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; II Corinthians 5:21; John 19:30; Acts 7:56; Acts 1:9-11;  Revelation 19:11-16

• About the Holy Spirit
  The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son.  We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a victorious life.  We believe that the Spirit gives gifts to believers and that the life lived under the power of the Holy Spirit will produce fruit.

Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-14; I Corinthians 12:4-11; Galatians 5:22,23; Acts 5:3,4

• About the Bible
  The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, ultimately authoritative words of God in all matters of faith and practice.  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.

II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20,21; Psalm 119:9-11,105,160; Proverbs 30:5

• About Human Beings
  People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character.  People are the supreme object of God's creation.  Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin.  Sin separates us from God and keeps us from obtaining salvation through unaided human effort.

Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 5:8

• About Salvation
  Salvation 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.

Acts 4:12; John 14:6; Luke 9:62; II Peter 3:9; Ephesians 2:8,9

• About Judgment
  Everyone will stand before the judgment seat of God to give account of their earthly life.

Hebrews 9:27; Matthew 25:32; II Corinthians 5:10; Revelation 20:11-15

• About Eternity
  People were created to exist forever.  We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.  To be eternally separated from God is Hell.  To be eternally united with God is Heaven.  Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16; Romans 6:23; I Thessalonians 4:16,17; Matthew 25:46
