Love is at the core
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7
At the very heart of Scripture is this powerful truth: God is love.
God’s love is most clearly revealed in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for us.
In response to His love, we strive to live lives that are immersed in and reflect that same love.
We love because He first loved us.

Bible
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
~ 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Word of God
The Bible is God’s Word and serves as our foundation and final authority on Christian beliefs and guide to living.
It is divinely inspired by God and was given to mankind so that we might know and understand God’s love.
It allows us to know His story and how to return to it.

God
The only true God, who has always existed as Father, Son and Spirit – the Divine Trinity.
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 is the father of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, and yet still one with both as God. The Father adopts believers into relationship with Him as he lovingly prunes/disciplines believers to strengthen them for His glory.

jesus
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who cam from the Father, full of grace and truth.
~ John 1:14
Jesus christ
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. Made like us, He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.
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.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." ~ John 14:6

HOLY SPIRIT
GOD'S SPIRIT AND THE THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY
“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." ~ Acts 2:38
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit... And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. ~ Ephesians 2:18, 22

SALVATION
GOD WANTS ALL MEN AND WOMEN TO BE SAVED BY HIS GRACE, ACCORDING TO THEIR FAITH, AS PRESCRIBED IN HIS WORD
Salvation
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through the forgiveness of our sin. We believe that it is when a person is baptized into Jesus they are then forgiven and receive the Holy Spirit.
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. ~ ACTS 4:12
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. ~ Romans 6:4
