The Holy
Trinity – There is but one living, true God,
the maker and preserver of all things. In the unity of this
Godhead there are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit.
The Son – God was himself
in Jesus Christ to reconcile man to God. Conceived
by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, He joined
together the deity of God and the humanity of man.
He is our Savior, the one perfect mediator between
God and man.
The Holy Spirit – The Holy
Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. Proceeding
from the Father and the Son, He is one with them.
The Holy Spirit is the administrator of the salvation
planned by the Father and provided by the Son’s
death, Resurrection, and Ascension.

The Scriptures – The
Bible is God’s written Word, uniquely inspired by the Holy
Spirit. It bears unerring witness to Jesus Christ, the living
Word. The Bible has authority over all human life. It teaches
the truth about God. His creation, His people, His one and only
Son, and the destiny of all mankind. It also teaches the way
of salvation and life of faith.
Christ’s Sacrifice – Christ
offered once and for all the one perfect sacrifice
for the sins of the whole world. No other satisfaction
for sin is necessary; none other can atone.
New
Life in Christ – New
life and
right relationship
with God
are
made possible
through the
redemptive
acts of God
in Jesus
Christ. God,
by His
Spirit, acts
to impart
new life to
bringing
us into a
relationship
with himself
as we repent.
Our faith
responds to
His grace.
