God
There is but one eternal and true God, the Creator, preserver, and ruler of all creation, having in and of Himself all
holiness, and in demanding of all creatures, love, reverence, and obedience. God from eternity permits all things that
come to pass, and perpetually upholds, directs, and governs all creatures and all events: yet so as not in any wise to be
the author or approver of sin nor the free will and responsibility of intelligent creatures. We believe that there is
one true God who exists from eternity three co-equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus
Christ is the undiminished deity and (when He became a man) He added true and perfect humanity, now united in one virgin-born
Person forever. The death of Christ served as the perfect, substitute payment of the penalty for the sins of the world
thus satisfying the perfect justice of God. His bodily resurrection guarantees eternal life for all who believe in Him.

Salvation
One can be assured of God's forgiveness and acceptance, God's deliverance from the eternal consequences of sin in a literal
hell, the sure hope of eternal life through personal trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as sin-bearer, and acceptance of God's
free gift of life purchased by Christ's sacrifice. We believe that we are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ, and that repentance and good works are the fruit of such faith. The moment one trusts in Christ, one is
born again, declaired righteous, reconciled to God, forgiven, and adopted into the God's family forever.
