The Scriptures Inspired.  The Bible is inspired by God and is the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (Psalm 119; Isaiah 40:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21).  

 

The One True God.  There is only one true God who exists as a Trinity of three Persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  They are coequal and coeternal, and they coexist in perfect unity (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

 

The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and the second person of the Trinity (Matthew 1:23, 28:6; Luke 1:31-35; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Philippians 2:5-9; 1 Peter 2:22). 

 

The Salvation of Humankind.  Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 2:38, 4:12; Romans 5:6-11; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 2:11-14, 3:4-7).

 

Sanctification.  Sanctification is the process by which a believer separates themselves from evil and becomes more like Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:11-23, 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:20-24; Colossians 3:1-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; Hebrews 13:12).  

 

The Church and Its Mission.  The Church’s mission is to seek and save those who are lost in sin and disciple them as followers of Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20). The Church is the body of Christ and consists of all people who accept Christ, regardless of Christian denomination (1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22, 3:10-11).
