Articles of Faith
1. We Believe in the Living God.
There is one and only one living true God. He is the
Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the Universe.
God is infinite in Holiness and all other perfections.
God is all Powerful ad all Knowing. The eternal God
reveals himself to us as the Father, Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
a. God the Father
He is all Powerful, all Knowing, all Loving, and all Wise. God is the
Father in Truth to
those who become Children of God through Faith in Jesus
Christ. He is Fatherly in his
Attitude toward All Men.

b. God the Son
Christ is the Eternal Son of God. He was Conceived by the Holy Spirit and
born of the
Virgin Mary. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will
of God, taking upon himself human
nature with its demands and identifying himself
completely with mankind yet without
sin. He honored the divine law by his personal
obedience, and in his substitutionary
death on the cross. He made a provision for the
redemption of men from sin. He was
raised from the dead with a Glorified Body and appeared
to his disciples. He
ascended into Heaven and is now exalted at the Right
Hand of God, where he waits his return.
He will return in Power and Glory to Judge the world and
to consummate his
Redemptive Mission.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He Inspired the
Authors of the Scriptures.

convicts us of our sin,
of Righteousness, and of Judgment. He calls us to the
Savior. He Comforts us and
Bestows the Spiritual Gifts by which we Serve God
through his Church. He
Seals the Believer unto the Day of Final Redemption. He

acceptance by Faith of Jesus as Lord and Savior, and
turn from the Worldly Sin and Serve Jesus Christ.
