About the Bible

The Bible, consisting of the 66 books, is God’s word to all men. 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. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
 

About God

God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
 

About Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of 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 men 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 again to earth to reign.
 

About The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He
provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right.
 

About Man

Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. Humanity is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of
disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates man from God.
 

About Eternity

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally
in union with him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence.
 

About Salvation

Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works – only by believing in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
 

About Eternal Security

Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.

About Baptism

Baptism by immersion symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and is a public declaration that one has accepted Jesus Christ as one’s personal Savior. Baptism is not a means to salvation, but shows the world that one had already been saved. And while baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates a Christian’s love and obedience to Christ.
 

About Communion

Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus Christ to remember his sacrifice for humanity and to symbolize the new covenant. The elements of bread and fruit of the vine are symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation. Rather, it is a testament of a believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross.
