that God is One Divine Being, manifest in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy spirit. that the bible is Gods infallible Word, fully inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is the only basis and adequate guide for Christian faith, life and service. that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that he was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life performed miracles, died for the sins of the world, was raised from the dead, ascended to heaven, is now at the throne of God and will personally return to earth. that we were created by God in His image but because of sin, we are lost and destined for judgment. that we are saved from sin by believing in Jesus Christ and receiving him as personal Savior. that Christians should demonstrate their trust in Jesus Christ by baptism. that the church is the extended body of Christ, and seeks to live in obedience to Gods word. that observance of the Lords Supper reminds believers of, and demonstrates, the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. that every Christian is a disciple of Jesus and is a steward of life, talent, time and treasure. that loyalty to Jesus takes priority to any other person or organization. that Christians should live by the law of love and practice the forgiveness of enemies as taught and exemplified by the Lord Jesus. that the Christian experience is forsaking worldliness and identifying with Jesus Christ. that the mission of the church is to bring the good news of Jesus Christ - the Gospel to others in all the world. that when the Lord returns, the living believers will be raptured, and the dead in Christ will be resurrected to eternity with Christ.
