About God
“In the beginning, God…” – Genesis 1:1
God is bigger, better, and closer than we can imagine. God is one, true, and eternal, and is revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is alive, holy, and love. God is the source and sustainer of all that exists and He operates within history to fulfill His redemptive purposes.

About Jesus
“Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.” – John 20:31
God showed Himself to us through Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth was a real, historical person, and was both fully God and fully human. His coming to Earth fulfilled God’s promise of salvation for His people, and His life among us taught us what God is like. Jesus’ death and resurrection give believers hope of life with God now and forever.

About Salvation
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9
Grace is the only way to have a relationship with God. In the beginning, God created humans to be in relationship with Him, but they “missed the mark” through personal disobedience towards God. Salvation is the complete process by which God redeems His creation and was completed through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God desires for all people to be saved—a work of His free grace, not as the result of human works or goodness.

About the Holy Spirit
“The Holy Spirit who lives in us.” – 2 Timothy 1:14
God lives in and through us now through His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is how we experience God; it is through the Holy Spirit that God communicates with us. It is by the Holy Spirit that God draws us to Himself, makes us aware of our need for Him, cleanses us, and guides us day to day.

About Human Destiny
“I am making everything new!” – Revelation 21:5
