The Bible
The basis for our Christian belief is the Bible, which is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters of faith and practice.
God
As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each possessing all the attributes of deity.
Man
God created man to have fellowship with Him, but man chose to go his own way.
Salvation
Salvation comes through God’s grace and is received personally by faith in Jesus Christ.
Christian Character
The Bible establishes basic principles for Christian character and behavior. These include: the Lordship of Christ over all our life and thoughts; the responsibility to love God with our whole being and to love our neighbor as ourselves; the responsibility to pursue righteousness and practice justice and mercy to everyone; and participation in the worship and activities of the church, which forms a necessary context for Christian living.
