We believe in the one ever-living, eternal God: infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes, and purpose; and possessing absolute, indivisible deity. This one true God has revealed Himself as Father, in creation, as Son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation (1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; II Corinthians 5:19; Joel 2:28)
Godly living should characterize the life of every child of the Lord, and we should live according to the pattern and example given in the Word of God.
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world” (Titus 2: 11-12)
