I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Inspired Word of God
The Bible is God's complete revelation centering on the Person and work of Jesus Christ.
All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God. The Bible is intended for instruction for faith and fully
applicable to our daily life. Daily study of the Bible will grow your relationship with God.

God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons:
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore
worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness,
goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and
therefore, is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
He alone is worthy of all glory and praise by His creation
(Genesis 1:1-2, Psalm 19:1, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 12:29)

Mankind
Humans, male and female, were created in God's image for His glory.
The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the
rest of God's creations.
The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the
rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Resurrection
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
