God

The Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God – reliable, authoritative, and relevant to guide our lives.

All People
All people are created in the image of God and are inherently valuable but have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, needing a Savior.

All can be saved by grace, through faith, in baptism, for good works.
