We believe the Holy Scriptures, from Genesis through Revelation, are the inspired Word of God, revealing His character, His will, His redemptive purpose, and the unfolding of His Kingdom throughout history. The Word of God is our divine authority for truth, doctrine, correction, instruction, and righteous living, equipping us to live in alignment with the heart and purposes of our King (2 Timothy 3:16). We believe humanity was intentionally created by God, male and female, in His image and likeness, to reflect His nature and represent His rule in the earth (Genesis 1:26–27). We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternally existing in perfect unity (Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7). We believe that humanity's reconciliation to the Father and entrance into His Kingdom come only through Jesus Christ, whose shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection provide forgiveness, redemption, and new life. Salvation is God's gift of grace received through faith, not something earned by human works; whoever confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and believes that God raised Him from the dead is saved, born of the Spirit, adopted into the family of God, and called to live as a citizen and representative of His Kingdom in the earth (Romans 5:9–11; 10:9–11; Ephesians 2:8; 1 Corinthians 12:13).
