Basic Beliefs and Principles
The beliefs are based on the Holy Scripture, Christian Tradition, and Church Ecumenical Synods.

|
| God is one in three divine persons: the Father, who created it all; the Son, who died for our sins and rose from the dead; the Holy Spirit, who regenerates and sanctifies souls. | The Church is made up of baptized Christians who worship together, partake of the sacraments, hear and obey the Word of God. | |
 |
 |
|
| The Son of God, who became man and died on the cross for our salvation, is always with believers who try to live according to His teachings. | God Wishes all nations to act together in brotherhood and justice. | |
 |
 |
|
| The third person of the Blessed Trinity abides in the Church to teach, govern and sanctify its members. | Church property is owned by the people who purchase, build and maintain it. | |
 |
 |
|
| It is the duty of every Christian to help establish God’s Kingdom on earth through the grace and virtue of love, justice and dedication to the will of God. | Masses are celebrated in the language of the people, so that all worshipers can understand God’s message. | |
 |
 |
|
| The sin of the “first parents” does not pass to succeeding generations. | Since 1921, bishops and priests have been permitted to marry. | |
 |
 |
|
| It is immortal and ultimately destined for eternal life with God. | Divorce is not recognized, but a marriage may be annulled by the Church. | |
