There is one and only one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each member of the godhead has unique personal attributes yet are undivided in nature and essence. (Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

God the Father

It is to the Father that we must be reconciled. it is He who initiates the press of salvation and calls us, justifies us, and glorifies us. The Father is the Sender of both the Son and the Spirit. (Romans 8:30; John 3:16, 14:16-17) 

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, became man without ceasing to be God. Jesus Christ purchased the redemption of all those who profess Him as Lord and Savior through His physical death and resurrection from the dead. The resurrected Jesus is now seated at the right hand of God as the Great High Priest and Intercessor. Jesus will come again to judge both the living and the dead. (Luke 1:34-35; Romans 3:23-25; Hebrews 7:25; Romans 14:9-10)

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the One who convicts the world of sin and leads them on to righteousness. It is through His baptism and indwelling of believers that seals them unto the day of redemption. He is our parakletos - our Helper, Counselor, Advocate, Comforter - sent by the Father. (Romans 8:9-11; John 14:16-17) 

Humans, being created in the image of God as man and woman, are unique from the rest of God’s creation. Although they were called to take dominion over and protect the earth, humans chose to disobey God and introduced sin into this world. On their own, men and women are totally depraved and unable to remedy the sin issue by their own strength or efforts. (Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:19; Psalm 5:9; Mark 7:21-23) 

As eternal beings, every individual will spend an eternity with God or apart from Him. To be with God is eternal life while to be apart from Him is eternal death and damnation. (Revelation 20:15)

Salvation is a free gift given to us by God in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Jesus is the only way, truth, and life - there is no other path to the Father and eternal salvation except through Him. Therefore, in order to be saved, we must confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead; submitting to his lordship and authority over us. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1) 

All Scripture is the inerrant, perfect Word and breathe of God, eternally relevant. It is th message of God’s redemption history of man, written by human authors and inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Bible guides all followers of Jesus Christ as the ultimate authority for faith and life. (2 Timothy 3:16) 

A church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural officers are elders and deacons. (Revelation 19:7; Matthew 5:13-16)

Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. ...It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. (Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2: 8-9; Matthew 28:19-20)

Communion is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming. (Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19,20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)

It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations... to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.

Jesus Our Savior

Jesus Christ saves from the guilt and power of sin through His atoning death and victorious resurrection. Salvation is by grace through faith, not by works, and results in new birth and reconciliation to God. Scripture teaches that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), yet we are “justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24). Paul affirms that salvation comes “by grace… through faith” (Ephesians 2:8–9), and Jesus Himself declares that one must be “born again” (John 3:3). This first work of grace restores relationship with God and marks the beginning of the Christian life.

Jesus Our Sanctifier

Beyond conversion, Christ sanctifies believers, cleansing the heart from indwelling sin and empowering holy living through the Spirit. The Holiness tradition teaches that sanctification is both progressive and, in its deeper sense, a definite work of grace subsequent to regeneration. Paul prays, “May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely” (1 Thessalonians 5:23), and affirms, “This is the will of God, your sanctification” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). Romans 6:6 teaches that “our old self was crucified with him,” and Hebrews 12:14 exhorts believers to pursue “the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” Christ not only forgives sin; He purifies the heart and empowers obedience.

Jesus Our Healer

Christ’s redemptive work includes provision for the healing of body as well as soul, and the church is encouraged to pray in faith for healing. While not denying medical means, Holiness theology affirms God’s ongoing power to heal according to His will. Isaiah prophesied, “with his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5), a passage echoed in 1 Peter 2:24. Jesus’ earthly ministry was marked by healing (Matthew 8:16–17), and James instructs the church, “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church… and the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick” (James 5:14–15). Healing is understood as an expression of Christ’s compassionate lordship and kingdom authority.

Jesus Our Coming King

Jesus Christ will return personally, visibly, and gloriously to consummate His kingdom, judge evil, and establish His eternal reign. The early church lived in expectant hope of this promise. Jesus declared, “I will come again and will take you to myself” (John 14:3). At His ascension, the angels proclaimed, “This Jesus… will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). Paul describes the Lord descending from heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17), and Revelation affirms, “Behold, he is coming with the clouds” (Revelation 1:7). This hope motivates holy living and steadfast faithfulness in the present age.Item description
