THE SCRIPTURES: The 66 books of the Holy Bible are the inspired Living Word of God in their entirety without error. The books were written by men divinely.

And His work is done in faithfulness.

THE TRINITY OF GOD: We believe in One God who exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:16-17
- GOD THE FATHER: God the Father is the Author, Holy, Sovereign, Creator, Eternal, Majestic, Infinite, All Loving, All Powerful, Perfect, Unchanging, All Knowing, Just, Faithful, Righteous, Spirit, Everywhere, Worthy of Praise: Genesis 1:1-2:26; Deuteronomy 7:9; Job 34:12; Psalms 103:8; Psalm 139; Psalms 145:3; Isaiah 30:18; Isaiah 61:8; Matthew 10:29-30; John 3:16; Romans 3; Ephesians 4:6, 1 John 3:20; 1 John 4:7; Isaiah 40:28-29. The LORD is the everlasting God.
- GOD THE SON: Christ is the Eternal Son of God; the Deity of Jesus Christ: Hebrews 1:3: The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Virgin birth: Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9; Matthew 1:1-25; John 1:29.

Christ will return: Matthew 24:29-31; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
- HOLY SPIRIT: Is the Spirit of God, the third person of the trinity. He convicts mankind of sin, righteousness and judgment. The Spirit calls men to the Savior, and effects regeneration and baptizing believers into the body of Christ. The Spirit takes residence in each believer, seals the believer with a guarantee of salvation, cultivating Christian character, teaches, bestows spiritual gifts, and lives to glorify God. Ephesians 1:13-14 When you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation and when you believed in Him, you were sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. He is a down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His Glory. Joel 2:28-29; Psalms 51:11-12; Isaiah 11:1-3; Isaiah 61:1-3. Virgin Birth: Luke 1:35. Jesus led by the Spirit: Luke 4:1; 18-21. The Counselor: John 15:26; John 16:7-14. The Spirit gives life & the Spirit of adoption: Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-4; Romans 8:1-30. Sealed: Ephesians 4:30.
MAN: Was created in the image of God, God also created man to have a personal relationship with Him. Genesis 1:26-27. Man disobeyed God’s command in the Garden of Eden causing sin, death and decay to enter the world. Genesis 3:17-19; Galatians 6:8; Romans 5:12-21.
SALVATION: All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. We must confess with our heart and believe Jesus Christ is Lord and that He died for our sins, repent of our sin and to turn from them. There is no salvation apart from a personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. Salvation cannot be earned; this is a gift from God by believing we are justified by faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:21-31; Romans 10:8-13; Ephesians 2:8-10; John 3:3-16
