ABOUT US

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

OUR VISION

To reach the lost and to feed the lambs and sheep of God.  To go out and help fallen man to receive Salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.

WHAT WE DO

We expound upon the word of God.  We want you to be as excited about God's word as we are.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

The Bible

We hold that the Scriptures, the Holy Word of a Holy God, was not only free from error in the originals (which have been lost for centuries) but also we believe God, in His Singular providential care, has preserved His word all through the ages, right down to the present day as found in the King James Bible. We consider the King James Bible as our final and absolute authority in all matters of faith and practice and above and beyond all other authorities on earth.

​

The Trinity

God is one, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who are infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power and love. 1 John 5:7

​

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is 100% man and 100% God, who in His incarnation was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary. In His earthly ministry He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. By the power of God, He was raised from the dead in the same body now glorified. He ascended into Heaven where, at the right hand of God, He continually makes intercession for us.

​

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son; regenerates the believing sinner; indwells, guides, instructs and empowers the believer for Godly living and service; comforts the children of God. The Holy Spirit guides and gives power to the church, the body of Christ, to fulfill the Great Commission, and convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment.

​

Man and Sin

Man was created in the image and likeness of God; but through the sin of Adam, man fell into sin and is, therefore, lost apart from Christ. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

​

Salvation

Salvation is the gift of God and includes the forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and the gift of eternal life. Union with the triune God provides all blessings in this life and the life hereafter. Salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all good works and merit.

​

The Church

The church is composed of all those regenerated by the Spirit of God by whom they have been baptized (Spiritually) into one body of whom Christ is the head. The purpose of the church is to witness concerning Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures, and to preach the Gospel among all nations.

​

Christ's Return

Jesus Christ will come again to receive unto Himself those who believe in Him, that where He is, they may be also. He will come again personally and visibly to establish His kingdom.

​

Two Judgments for Man

There are two judgements after death: The Great White Throne of Judgment, and the Judgment Seat of Christ.  Those who are not Born Again into the family of God, will stand before God the Father for judgment before being cast into Hell.  The Judgment Seat of Christ is for those who accept the gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ who paid the penalty for our sin and who is our advocate unto the Father. The works of believers will be judged and crowns will be rewarded to the faithful before entering eternal life with the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

The resurrection of the believers will be unto eternal glory, and the resurrection of the unbelievers will be unto eternal punishment.
