The Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is God’s written revelation of Himself to humanity. It is inspired, completely true, without error, and wholly trustworthy. Through His living and active Word, God makes Himself known and directs His people in all matters of faith and life. All Scripture points to Jesus, who is the focus of divine revelation. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 19:7-11; Hebrews 4:12; Luke 24:27, 44-45)

There is one true and holy God who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is perfect in all His attributes and worthy of our love, worship, obedience, and devotion. God created all that exists and continually sustains His creation. God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and reigns in sovereignty over human history according to His purposes. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Isaiah 6:1-5; Romans 11:33-36; Colossians 1:16-17)

God the Father is the sovereign Lord over His creation, guiding all things according to His gracious will. He reveals Himself as wise, good, and perfectly loving, showing compassion to all and special care to His people. Through Jesus, God redeems and adopts believers as His children, and He calls them to walk with Him in trust and obedience. (1 Corinthians 8:6; Psalm 103:8-14; Ephesians 1:3-5; Matthew 6:9-13)

Jesus is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. Through His incarnation, He perfectly revealed the person of God. Jesus lived a sinless life, proclaimed the arrival of God’s Kingdom, and serves as our faithful High Priest. Jesus willingly offered Himself as the atoning sacrifice for our sins through His death on the cross. Jesus rose bodily from the grave, demonstrating His victory over sin and death. Jesus ascended to Heaven, where He now intercedes for His people, and He will return in power to judge the world and fully establish His reign. (John 1:1-14; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11)

The Holy Spirit is fully God and co-equal with the Father and the Son. He works in the world to convict people of sin, open their hearts to the gospel, and draw them to salvation. At the moment of conversion, the Spirit indwells every believer, sealing them in Christ. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts for building up the church, comforts believers in trials, guides them in truth, produces spiritual fruit, and empowers them for holy and obedient living. (John 14:16-17, 26; John 16:7-11; Romans 8:9-16; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Galatians 5:22-25)

God created humanity in His image as male and female, equal in dignity and worth, with distinct roles, and one’s biological sex at birth determines gender. All people are spiritual beings, created to live in relationship with God, and called to steward God’s creation, reflecting Him in all the ways they live. Through original sin, humanity fell and became separated from God. All people now inherit a sinful nature and choose to sin, falling short of God’s glory. Sin affects every part of human life, leaving us unable to save ourselves. Even though sin has obscured the image of God in humanity, the image of God in every person remains undamaged, and all people possess inherent, God-given dignity, value, and purpose. (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:24; Romans 3:23, 5:12-19; Psalm 51:5; James 3:9)

All who are saved by Christ belong to the universal church, the body of Christ. Believers gather regularly in local churches for worship, fellowship, prayer, the teaching of God’s Word, disciple-making, and mission. Jesus commands the church to observe two ordinances: Baptism (as a testimony of personal faith) and the Lord’s Supper (as a remembrance of Jesus’s sacrifice). Jesus is the Head of the church, and each local congregation is led by biblically qualified pastors, supported by deacons and church members. (Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:41–47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 4:11-16; Colossians 1:18)

Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water as a public testimony of faith in Christ and identification with His death and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic meal in which believers remember Jesus’s sacrifice and renew their commitment to Him. These ordinances do not save us but serve as visible expressions of the gospel and marks of obedience for every believer. (Romans 6:3-4; Acts 2:38-41; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

Salvation is a free gift of God’s grace. We cannot earn and do not deserve it. We are saved when, by the work of the Holy Spirit, we repent of our sins and place our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Through this faith, we are forgiven, declared righteous, adopted into God’s family, and given eternal life at the moment of conversion. Salvation is wholly the work of God from beginning to end, yet calls for a genuine response of repentance and faith from every person. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7; Romans 10:9-13; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; John 1:12-13)

Salvation begins with God’s gracious initiative. From eternity, God purposed to save a people for Himself, and He accomplishes this through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit and the redeeming work of Jesus Christ. All who truly come to Jesus are kept by God’s power and will persevere in faith to the end. God’s grace assures believers of their security in Christ and motivates a life of obedience and devotion. (Ephesians 1:3-14; Romans 8:28-30; John 6:37-40; Philippians 1:6; John 10:27-29)

God is the giver of every good gift, and all we have is entrusted to us for His glory and the good of others. Christians are called to honor God with our time, abilities, and resources, using them faithfully in service to Jesus and His church. Scripture teaches us to give cheerfully, regularly, generously, and sacrificially for the advance of the gospel. (James 1:17; 1 Peter 4:10; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Matthew 25:14-30)

God established the family as the foundational institution of human society. Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a covenant relationship for a lifetime. Husband and wife are equal in dignity and worth, yet lovingly serve in distinct, God-given roles. Children are a gift from the Lord, entrusted to parents who are called to train them in the knowledge and love of God. (Genesis 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:22-33; Ephesians 6:1-4; Psalm 127:3)

Christians are called to honor Jesus in every area of life and to reflect His righteousness in the world. True and lasting societal change begins with the renewal of individuals and families through Christ. We oppose injustice, racism, greed, and immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography. We care for the vulnerable, defend the sanctity of life, and seek to influence society with truth, justice, and love—always acting in the spirit of Christ without compromising His Word. (Matthew 5:13-16; Micah 6:8; Romans 12:9-21; Romans 13:1-14; 1 Corinthians 6:9–11; James 1:27; Psalm 139:13-16)

Every follower of Jesus and every church is called to make disciples of all nations. The new birth brings love for others and a desire to share the gospel with our neighbors. Christians are to witness for Christ through both their words and their lives, obeying His command to proclaim the good news to all people. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:14-17; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20)

The Kingdom of God includes His rule over all creation and His reign in the hearts of those who submit to and trust Jesus Christ as King. Believers are called to pray, live, and work for the advance of God’s Kingdom. Its full consummation will come with the return of Christ and the end of this age. (Mark 1:14-15; Matthew 6:10, 33; Luke 17:20-21; Revelation 11:15)

God will bring history to its appointed conclusion. According to His promise, Jesus will return personally and visibly, the dead will be raised, and all people will be judged with perfect righteousness. Those apart from Christ will face eternal punishment subject to God’s wrath, while those in Christ will enter everlasting joy in His presence. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:11-15; John 5:28-29; Matthew 25:31-46)

God created people to live forever. Believers enter God’s eternal kingdom and will ultimately dwell with Him forever in the new Heaven and Earth. Those who reject God’s offer of salvation remain under His righteous judgment and will experience eternal relational separation from God subject to His wrath. These eternal destinies are fixed at death and highlight the urgency of the gospel. (John 14:1-3; Revelation 21:1-5; Daniel 12:2; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10)
