- There exists only one God, creator and sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect
and eternally co-existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, inerrant and
trustworthy Word of God, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of
human beings, and the final authority for all matters about which it speaks.
- Human nature derives from two historical persons, male and female, created in
God's image. They were created perfect, but they sinned, plunging themselves
and all human beings into sin, guilt, suffering, and death.
- The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection provide the
only ground for justification, forgiveness, and salvation for all who believe. Only
those who trust in Him alone are born of the Holy Spirit and are true members of
the Church; only they will spend eternity with Christ.
- The Holy Spirit is the agent of regeneration and renewal for believers in Jesus
Christ. He makes the presence of Jesus Christ real in believers, and He
comforts, guides, convicts, and enables believers to live in ways that honor Christ.
- Christian counseling acknowledges the complexity of humans as physical,
psychological, social, and spiritual beings. The ultimate goal of Christian
counseling is to help others move to personal wholeness, interpersonal
competence, mental stability, and spiritual maturity.
