I. GOD 
We believe there is only one God, eternally existing in three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is God. The Son is God. The Holy Spirit is God. The Father is neither the Son nor the Holy Spirit. The Son is neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son. 

II. SCRIPTURE 
We believe the Bible—made up of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments—is the verbally inspired Word of God, utterly authoritative, and without error in the original writings.

 III. CREATION
 We believe our Triune God created the world, and all that is in it, unspoiled by sin, and that everything that he had made was very good. 

IV. HUMANITY 
We believe that God created human beings, male and female, in his own image.

 V. SIN 
We believe that Adam, tempted by Satan, sinned by disobeying God and as a result of his sin, all human beings are alienated from God, corrupted in every aspect of their being (e.g., physically, mentally, volitionally, emotionally, spiritually) and condemned finally and irrevocably to death—apart from God’s own gracious intervention.
