The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the authority in all matters of faith, belief,
and conduct. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

There is one living, personal God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit. (Rev. 1:8; Isaiah 43:10-11; Deut. 6:4; Matthew 28:19)

God created people in his image; everyone matters to God. (Gen. 1:26-27; Gen. 5:1-2)
All people sin, fall short of God’s standard, and need God’s forgiveness. (Rom. 3:23)

Jesus, the Son, sent by the Father to live on earth, was fully God and fully human, and
was without sin. Jesus willingly laid down his life in a crucifixion death and was raised
from the grave by the Father, paying the price for all sin. Through his death,
resurrection, and ascension Jesus has defeated the power of sin, death, and the devil.
(Lk. 1:31-35; 1 Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21; Col. 1:13-14)

Those who confess and turn from their sin and trust in Jesus Christ will be saved by
God’s grace, becoming children of God with the promise of eternal life. (John 3:16-17; Gal 3:26)

Jesus Christ is the head of the church, which is made up of all believers. The church is
the light of the world. (Eph. 4:15-16; Matthew 5:14)

The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin and to
empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He lives in each believer and is a constant
comfort, teacher and guide, helping us to become more like Jesus Christ. (John 14:16-
17; Gal. 5:22-23)

Jesus Christ will return. There will be a final judgment and a restoration of all things
into a new heaven and new earth. (Matthew 24:37; Rev. 21:5)
