Therefore, we believe in:
The only true God, the almighty Creator
of all things, existing eternally in three persons - Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit - full of love and glory.
The unique divine inspiration, entire
trustworthiness and authority of the Bible.
The value and dignity of all people:
created in God's image to live in love and holiness, but alienated
from God and each other because of our sin and guilt, and justly subject
to God's wrath.
Jesus Christ, fully human and fully
divine, who lived as a perfect example, who assumed the judgment due
sinners by dying in our place, and who was bodily raised from death
and ascended as Savior and Lord.
Justification by God's grace to all
who repent (literally, turn) and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone
for salvation.
The indwelling presence and transforming
power of the Holy Spirit, who gives to all believers a new life and
a new calling to obedient service.
The unity of all believers in Jesus
Christ, manifest in worshipping and witnessing churches making disciples
throughout the world.
The victorious reign and future personal
return of Jesus Christ, who will judge all people with justice and
mercy, giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation but receiving
the redeemed into eternal life.
