| The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things, |
| existing eternally in three persons- |
| Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-full of love and glory. |
|
| The unique divine inspiration, |
| entire trustworthiness |
| and authority of the Bible. |
|
| The value and dignity of all people:, |
| created in God's image to live in love and holiness, |
| but alienated from God and each other |
| because of our sin and guilt, |
| and justly subject to God's wrath. |
| Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, |
| who lived as a perfect example,- |
| who assumed the judgment due sinners |
| by dying in our place, and who was bodily raised |
| from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord. |
|
| Justification by God's grace to all who repent, |
| and put their faith in Jesus Christ |
| alone for salvation. |
|
| The indwelling presence and transforming power |
| of the Holy Spirit, who gives to all believers |
| a new life and a new calling to obedient service. |
| The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ, |
| manifest in worshipping and witnessing churches- |
| making disciples throughout the world. |
|
| The victorious reign and future personal return |
| of Jesus Christ, who will judge all people |
| with justice and mercy, giving over |
| the unrepentant to eternal condemnation |
| but receiving the redeemed into eternal life. |
|
| To God be glory forever. |
