The Trinity
There is one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons usually called the Trinity. God the Father is the Creator, Source, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ, through Whom all things were created; the character of God is revealed; the salvation of humanity is accomplished; and the world is judged. God the Holy Spirit draws men and women to Himself and gives spiritual gifts to the Church.

Christ our Hope
In Christ's life of perfect obedience to God's will, His suffering, death, and resurrection, God provided the only means of reconciliation between God and sinful human beings so that those who by faith accept this atonement will have eternal life.

Christ's Return
The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the Church, the grand climax of the Gospel. His coming will be literal, personal, visible, and world-wide. When He returns, those who died having lived a life based on God's principles will be resurrected. Together with those who have lived a righteous life, they will be taken to heaven. 

The Church
The Church is the community of believers in Jesus Christ being the Supreme Lord and Saviour. As the church, men and women join together for worship, fellowship, instruction in the what the Bible teaches, service to our neighbours, and the world-wide proclamation of the good news about God's love.

The Holy Scriptures
The Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments, is divinely inspired. The Scriptures are the infallible revelation of God's character.

Baptism
Baptism by immersion is a symbol of our union with Christ, the forgiveness of our sins, and our reception of the Holy Spirit.

The Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments, the great principles of God's law, are exemplified in the life of Christ. They express God's love, will, and purposes concerning human conduct and relationships. Salvation is all because of God's graciousness towards us, not of because of what we might believe we have worked for and deserve. Our love for God is shown by how we keep His Commandments, not in an hopeless effort to earn salvation, but in grateful harmony with the life of Jesus Christ whose perfect obedience has brought us confidence and acceptance that we might be called the God's children because we accept Him as Our Father in Heaven.

The Sabbath
The seventh day of the week, Saturday, is observed as the day of rest, worship, and ministry in harmony with the teaching and practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God and one another. We joyfully observe this holy time from Friday evening to Saturday evening, from sunset to sunset, as a celebration of God's creative and redemptive acts as reflect upon his love in the preceding week.

The New Earth
In a renewed earth, God will provide a glorious home for the redeemed with a perfect environment for everlasting life, love, joy and learning. God Himself will dwell with His people, and suffering and death will exist no more.
