The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and is inerrant in the original manuscripts.

There is one and only one living God, the Creator of the universe. He is eternal in existence, infinite in his perfections, and sovereign in his fulfillment of his purpose. The eternal God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

Jesus is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation, He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and both revealed and fulfilled the perfect will of God. He dies on the cross to provide atonement for our sins, was buried, and rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God as the one mediator between God and humanity.

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. He exalts Christ, convicts sin, righteousness, and judgement, and indwells in the believer to empower for Christian living and service.

Man was created by a special act of God in God’s own image. Mankind fell into sin, became separated from God, and is subject to death as the consequence of sin. Only by the grace of God can one be saved, restored to fellowship with God, and made a new creation.

Salvation is “by grace through faith” in Jesus Christ. The one who repents and trusts Christ as Savior is born again of the Holy Spirit, set apart to a life of holiness, and finally will be glorified with Christ. Those who are redeemed are kept by the power of God eternally.
