Bible... The Bible teaches us that the Bible in its entirety is the Word of God without any error, and is our sole authority for life and faith.

God... The Bible teaches us that there is one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus... The Bible teaches us that that Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was completely God and completely man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for our sins, was buried, physically rose from the grave, and ascended back into Heaven.

Holy Spirit... The Bible teaches us that God the Holy Spirit is active in convincing unbelievers of their need for salvation, and is the Comforter and Guide Who lives in every believer.

Man... The Bible teaches us that man is a special creation of God, made in His image, but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell so that all men are sinners and need salvation.

Salvation... The Bible teaches us that salvation is an everlasting gift received by faith through repentance toward God and is shown by an unconditional surrender and dedicated life to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Baptism... The Bible teaches us that water baptism is an act of obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation and not for salvation.

Church... The Bible teaches us that the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head dedicated to the task of building believers for the purpose of reaching others for Jesus Christ and ultimately glorifying God.

Eternity... The Bible teaches us that those persons who die in their sins without Christ will spend eternity in Hell, a place of eternal punishment and those persons who die with their sins forgiven through Christ will spend eternity in Heaven, in God's presence forever.
