About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of
the universe. He is the Father of Jesus Christ. He is our
Father and will provide all the needs of our bodies and souls.
He is present everywhere.
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the only begotten
Son of God. He gave His life as the perfect sacrifice for
the sins of the world. He arose from the dead and is alive
forevermore. He is King of Kings and will be finally victorious
over all evil. He is the only way to God.
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with
the Father and the Son— three persons in the Trinity.
He is the “Comforter” who dwells in the hearts
of people, convincing them of the truth of Christ’s
teachings, and helping them live holy lives.The Holy Spirit’s
presence is the guarantee of our relationship with God and
the source of Christian unity.
About Human Beings
People are by nature sinful and
cannot make themselves good. We can only be made righteous
by accepting God’s forgiveness for sin through Jesus’
sacrifice on the cross. We will be given a new life because
of our relation to Jesus Christ. We are designed for everlasting
life.

About the Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of
God.It is our only guide to show us what we should believe
and how we should live. It is for everyone to read so that
all may hear God speak to their hearts and minds.
About the Church
The One Family of God, the
fellowship of all Christians. There is but one universal church,
made up of people of every race who believe in Jesus Christ,
regardless of denominational affiliation. Jesus Christ is
the head of the church and the members are his body. As the
body of Christ, our task is to carry out the work He began
— to make Jesus Christ known to the whole world.
About Membership
in the Church — Spiritual Birth
We believe that membership in the
universal church comes through a personal relationship to
Jesus Christ. A person is born into the church through a spiritual
rebirth or awakening. Only God can place the member in the
church.
About the Ordinances
We have three ordinances
instituted by Christ in the new covenant: baptism, communion,
and footwashing.
