The only true God, the almighty
Creator of all things, existing eternally in three
persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—full of love and glory.
The unique divine inspiration,
entire trustworthiness, and authority of the Bible.
The value and dignity of all
people: created in God's image to live in love and holiness,
but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and
guilt, and justly subject to God’s wrath.
Jesus Christ, fully human and
fully divine, who lived as a perfect example, who assumed
the judgment due sinners by dying in our place, and who was
bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.
Justification by God's grace
to all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone
for salvation.
The indwelling presence and
transforming power of the Holy Spirit, who gives to all
believers a new life and a new calling to obedient service.
The unity of all believers in
Jesus Christ, manifest in worshipping and witnessing
churches making disciples throughout the world.
The victorious reign and future
personal return of Jesus Christ, who will judge all people
with justice and mercy, giving over the unrepentant to
eternal condemnation but receiving the redeemed into eternal
life.
To God be the glory forever.
