About Jesus
Jesus Christ is both truly God and truly man having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, once for all, as a sacrifice for sin according to the Scriptures. Furthermore, he arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of God the Father, he is now our High Priest and Advocate.

About The Holy spirit

About Humankind

About Salvation
Salvation is God’s free gift to all who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfect life, and willingly took our sins upon himself. Through his shed blood, death and resurrection, he provides us the way to eternal life and adoption into the family of God.

About Baptism
Water baptism identifies the believer’s union with the death and resurrection of Jesus. Communion is an active remembering of the death of Jesus until he returns. These ordinances are actively celebrated today but they are not a means of salvation.
Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:3-5, Acts 8:12, Colossians 2:12, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
About The Church
The Church of Jesus Christ is made up of all believers who have been given and accepted a new life by the Holy Spirit—which is a life of holiness, humility and service. The Church is the Body of Christ and Jesus is the head of that body. Every believer’s primary responsibility is to demonstrate the love, authority, and life-changing power of Jesus.

About Jesus' Second Coming
Jesus will return to the joy of all who believe. The hope and assurance of his return and judgment creates an urgency, passion, and purpose for every believer.
Acts 1:10-11, Galatians 6:9-10, Titus 2:11-13, Ephesians 5:26-27, 1 Corinthians 15:58, Jude 1:14-15
About The Afterlife
All humanity will experience a bodily resurrection and a judgment that will determine their fate. Having rejected God, unbelievers will suffer eternal condemnation apart from him (Hell). Believers will be received into eternal communion with God (Heaven) and will be rewarded for faithful service to Jesus in this life.
