We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost; and that these three are one God.
We believe there is one and only one living God. He is the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and the second person in the Trinity. He is pre-existent, and He participated in creation. Jesus became flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit moving upon a virgin named Mary.
During His earthly existence, He was both fully man and fully God. Jesus perfectly revealed and did the will of God. He was sinless. In His substitutionary death on the cross, He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. After three days, He was raised from the dead.
He ascended into heaven to prepare a place for believers and is now exalted at the right hand of God the Father, where He is the One Mediator between God and man. He will return in power and glory to judge the world, reward the saints, and reign as King of Kings.
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity and possesses the same attributes as God the Father and God the Son. He inspired holy men to write the Scriptures. The activity of the Holy Spirit is found in both the Old and New Testaments.
In the Old Testament, He is revealed as being involved in creation, in providing guidance and direction, in endowing special abilities within people to perform specific tasks, and providing power and strength when needed. In the New Testament, He is revealed as being involved in the conception of Jesus Christ, the validation of Jesus as the Son of God at Jesus' baptism, the anointing of Jesus for ministry, and the resurrection of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit convicts men of sin, causing men to repent and confess Jesus Christ as Lord. He baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ. He regenerates or imparts new life in every believer, and He lives in them. The Holy Spirit cultivates Christian character, comforts believers, and bestows spiritual gifts that are used to serve God through His church.
He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service. He seals the believer until the day of final redemption.
