God
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.

Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.
The Fall of Man
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and sinned entered into the world. Because of this everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The Good News
The good news is that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).
