The Trinity
There is one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal persons usually called the Trinity. God the Father is the Creator, Source, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ, through Whom all things were created; the character of God is revealed; the salvation of humanity is accomplished; and the world is judged. God the Holy Spirit draws men and women to Himself and gives spiritual gifts to the Church.

Salvation is all but grace and not work, but its fruitage is obedience to the commandments, not in hopeless effort to earn salvation, but in grateful harmony with the life and hope of life.
The Sabbath
The seventh day of the week, Saturday, is the day of rest, worship, and ministry in harmony with the teaching and practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God and one another. We joyfully observe this holy time from Friday evening to Saturday evening, from sunset to sunset, as a celebration of God's creative and redemptive acts.
The New Earth
on the new earth, in which righteousness dwells, God wants to provide a glorious home for the redeemed with a perfect environment for everlasting life, love, joy and learning. God Himself wants to dwell with His people, and wants to the no more.
