We believe in one true and living God who eternally exists in three distinct persons within one
divine essence: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each person deserves the same worship
and reverence, as they are co-equal in power and glory, and co-eternal in perfect unity of love
from eternity past.

We believe that Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, is the eternal God, as He equally
possesses every perfection of the undivided divine essence of God. The Bible identifies the Son
as the Creator, and He has existed in eternal glory alongside the Father. He pre-existed all things,
for the Creator of all things must have existed prior to their creation. He came to earth from
heaven at the moment of the miraculous conception of His human nature in the womb of the
virgin Mary; so that two whole and perfect natures were joined together in one person, truly God
and truly man.

We believe that all of humanity, both male and female, has lost their spiritual life, becoming dead
in trespasses and sins. Consequently, all of humanity finds themselves destitute of holiness and
naturally inclined towards evil, experiencing a state of separation from God. This condition
necessitates the transformative experience of being born again in order to enter the kingdom of
God. However, no amount of human effort, morality, or good works can bridge the gap between
us and God. It is only through the undeserved favor and loving-kindness of God that we can be
reconciled to Him and experience spiritual restoration. We believe that God’s grace precedes and
enables our response to His call, drawing us to acknowledge our sinfulness and opening our
hearts to embrace His salvation. It is only through the work of the Holy Spirit that God’s grace
not only enables our initial response to have faith in Christ but also empowers us to live a
transformed life.

We believe that Jesus, through His physical and sacrificial death on the cross, willingly bore the
weight of our sins, taking upon Himself the punishment we deserved. In this act of
substitutionary atonement, our sinfulness was imputed to Him, and His righteousness was
imputed to us, resulting in our justification before God. We also believe that Jesus, after His
crucifixion, physically rose from the dead, conquering sin and death. His resurrection serves as a
confirmation of His divine power and victory over sin, validating His claims and establishing the
foundation of our faith. Through Christ’s resurrection, we find hope in the assurance of our own
future bodily resurrection and the promise of eternal life in His presence.

We believe that our salvation is not earned or achieved through our own works or merits but
solely through the unmerited favor and undeserved grace of God. It is by His grace alone that we
have hope for salvation, and it is through faith that we receive and appropriate the gift of
salvation. We believe that sinners are justified or accounted righteous before God solely through
faith in the person and works of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ perfect life, sacrificial death, and victorious
resurrection provide everything necessary for our redemption. We do not add our own works or
efforts to achieve salvation but rely entirely on the finished work of Christ.

We believe that Jesus Christ, who ascended into heaven, will come back to earth in the same way
He ascended into heaven. Therefore, Christ’s return will be a literal, visible, and personal event,
not a symbolic or spiritual occurrence. This expectation gives hope to believers, reminding us to
eagerly await His coming and live in holiness in light of His imminent return. Christ’s glorious
return will mark the ultimate fulfillment of God’s plan for redemption and the establishment of
His eternal kingdom. We also believe that believers, both the living and the deceased, will be
raised in their physical bodies to partake in the eternal blessings of God’s kingdom. This
resurrection ensures that believers will receive glorified bodies that are imperishable, immortal,
free from sin and imperfection, to reign with Him forever and ever.

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, serving as the final and
supreme authority for our faith and practice. The Bible contains everything necessary for
salvation, guidance, and instruction in righteousness. We believe that the Bible was written by
human authors under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, making it God’s own Word
communicated to us without error or contradiction. Despite being written in historical and
cultural contexts, the truths contained within the Bible transcend time and continue to speak to
believers today as a living and active Word. The sixty-six canonical books of the Old and New
Testaments provide a complete revelation of God’s will for humanity, that no additional inspired
texts should or can be added to them. As the Word of God, Scripture has the ability to convict,
teach, guide, and comfort believers in their journey of sanctification, leading them to become
more like Christ and develop a closer relationship with God.
