Explore the teachings
Each belief has its own teaching, key KJV passages, questions, and a practical way to respond.
Scripture
The Old and New Testaments are God’s inspired Word. Scripture is the final authority for what we believe and how we live, and it teaches us to know Christ, recognize error, and practice righteousness.
Read the teaching
The one true God
There is one God, eternally Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Christians use the word Trinity to describe the unity of God and the real distinction of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
Read the teaching
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully human. He lived without sin, died for our sins, rose bodily, and now intercedes for His people.
Read the teaching
Sin, salvation, and new life
God offers forgiveness and new life through Jesus Christ. We respond by turning from sin and trusting Him, and the Holy Spirit begins a new life that bears fruit in love and obedience.
Read the teaching
The Church, baptism, and Communion
The Church gathers to worship God, learn Scripture, care for people, and make disciples. Water baptism publicly expresses faith in Christ, and Communion remembers His sacrifice and proclaims His death until He comes.
Read the teaching
The baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit
Jesus baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit and empowers them to witness, pray, and serve. We expect the Spirit to give utterance in tongues, as at Pentecost, and believe His gifts should build up others in love.
Read the teaching
Prayer and Divine Healing
Jesus Christ is our Healer. We believe healing belongs to the Gospel and is provided through His atoning work. We pray in faith, anoint the sick with oil, and trust the Lord as James 5 teaches.
Read the teaching
Spiritual warfare
Christians stand against spiritual evil in the strength of the Lord. Ephesians 6 describes truth, righteousness, Gospel readiness, faith, salvation, Scripture, and prayer as ways believers stand firm.
Read the teaching
The return of Christ and our eternal hope
Jesus Christ will return personally. Christians look forward to resurrection, final judgment, and God’s renewed creation, and that hope encourages faithful living today.
Read the teaching
Giving and ministry
God calls Christians to give willingly, care for people in need, and support the work of the Gospel. Giving is one expression of a life shaped by grace, gratitude, and concern for others.
