### 1. **The Triune God**
We believe in one eternal God who exists in three persons: **God the Father**, **God the Son**, and **God the Holy Spirit**. Each is co-equal, co-eternal, and fully divine.
– The Father is Creator and Sustainer of all things.
– The Son, Jesus Christ, is the Savior and Redeemer of humanity.
– The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, Empowerer, and Guide for believers.

### 2. **Jesus Christ**
We believe that Jesus Christ is the **Son of God**, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return in glory.
– His death provides atonement for sin.
– His resurrection guarantees eternal life.
– His lordship demands our obedience and worship.

### 3. **The Holy Scriptures**
We believe that the **Bible**—both Old and New Testaments—is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
– It is the final rule for faith, conduct, and doctrine.
– It reveals God’s will and equips believers for every good work.
– It must be rightly divided and faithfully taught.

### 4. **Salvation**
We believe that salvation is a gift of grace, received through **faith in Jesus Christ** alone.
– All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory.
– Redemption is available to all who repent and believe.
– Salvation includes justification, sanctification, and glorification.

### 5. **The Holy Spirit**
We believe in the **baptism of the Holy Spirit** as a distinct experience following salvation, empowering believers for service and witness.
– The Spirit imparts spiritual gifts for the edification of the Church.
– He produces fruit in the lives of believers.
– He leads, convicts, comforts, and teaches.

### 6. **The Church**
We believe in the **universal Church**, composed of all believers in Christ, and the **local church** as the visible expression of the Body of Christ.
– The Church exists to worship God, disciple believers, and evangelize the world.
– Every believer has a role and responsibility within the Church.
– We affirm the fivefold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) for equipping the saints.

### 7. **Ordinances**
We believe in two primary ordinances instituted by Christ:
– **Water Baptism** – An outward sign of inward transformation, symbolizing death to sin and new life in Christ.
– **Holy Communion** – A sacred remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice, celebrated in unity and reverence.

### 8. **The Second Coming**
We believe in the **literal return of Jesus Christ** to judge the living and the dead.
– Believers will be resurrected to eternal life.
– Unbelievers will face eternal separation from God.
– This hope motivates holy living and faithful service.

### 9. **Christian Living**
We believe that believers are called to live **holy and righteous lives**, reflecting the character of Christ.
– We reject sin and pursue spiritual maturity.
– We uphold moral integrity, compassion, and justice.
– We are called to be salt and light in the world.

### 10. **Unity of Believers**
We believe in the **spiritual unity of all believers**, regardless of denomination, race, or background.
– We are one body under one Lord.
– We strive for peace, love, and cooperation among churches.
– We celebrate diversity while maintaining doctrinal purity.
