We believe that there is only one God (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19) existing eternally as three Personsthe Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 15:26). We believe that each of these Persons is God (Rom. 1:7; 9:5; Acts 5:3-4). churchservice We believe that each is perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power and that He conc... erns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men.
