God is the loving Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen. God has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. God is eternal and completely good, knowing all things, having all power and majesty. God passionately desires relationship with us and towards this end continually invites us into a relationship of faith, worship, friendship, learning, and service.
Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22 Psalm 90:2 Matthew 28:19 I Peter 1:2 II Corinthians 13:14.

Humanity is made equally in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. They are the supreme object of God's creation and have been created for a purpose in God's ultimate plan for humanity. Although men and women have tremendous potential for good, they are marred by disobedience toward God called "sin." Sin separates people from God.
Genesis 1:27 Psalm 8:3-6 Isaiah 53:6a Romans 3:23 Isaiah 59:1-2

Eternity - People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God, through God's gracious gift of salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16 I John 2:25; 5:11-13 Romans 6:23 Revelation 20:15

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to establish his physical kingdom where he will reign as Leader and Lord.
Matthew 1:22-23 Isaiah 9:6 John 1:1-5; 14:10-30 Hebrews 4:14-15 I Corinthians 15:3-4 Romans 1:3-4 Acts 1:9-11 I Timothy 6:14-15 Titus 2:13

Salvation is a gift from God to humanity. People can never make up for their sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can people be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his or her life by faith.
Romans 6:23 Ephesians 2:8-9 John 14:6; 1:12 Titus 3:5 Galatians 3:26 Romans 5:1

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit also lives in every Christian from the moment of faith in Christ. The Holy Spirit provides power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to continually be filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit in order to grow in Christ-like character, and be empowered for serving and loving others.
II Corinthians 3:17 John 16:7-13; 14:16-17 Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16 Ephesians 1:13 Galatians 5:25 Ephesians 5:18

The Bible is God's Word to all humanity. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. It's a moral and spiritual compass because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
II Timothy 3:16 II Peter 1:20-21 II Timothy 1:13 Psalm 119:105,160; 12:6 Proverbs 30:5
