About the Bible...
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It provides us with truthful and accurate revelation about God, His will, work and salvation. It is our guide for faith and practice.
About Jesus Christ...
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. our Savior and Lord. He came to earth as a man born of a virgin. In the gracious act of supreme sacrifice, he gave himself up to be crucified for our sins as a substitute for us, according to God's divine purpose, He was buried, but rose victoriously on the third day. He has ascended to Heaven to take His rightful place as ruler of all creation. He waits now, but will return at the time of the Father's choosing as the righteous judge of all men. (Acts 2: 22-36)
About Salvation and Forgiveness of Sins...
