a favorite verse from the Bible











"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone, my hope comes from Him. He alone is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Fortress, I will never be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our Refuge."Psalm 62: 5-8

our beliefs, our vision, our leaders

OUR BELIEFS: We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21) There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30) In the deity of Christ (John 10:33) His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35), His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15, and 7:26), His miracles (John 2:11), His vicarious and atoning death (1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9), His resurrection John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4), His ascension to the right hand of God (Mark 16:19), His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11). In the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature; and that we are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God's grace and through faith alone we are saved. (John 3:16-19 and 5:24, Romans 3:23 and 5:8-9, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5) In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost - the saved to the resurrection of life, and the lost to the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28-29) In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:9, Galatians 3:26-28) In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. (Romans 8:13-14, 1Corinthians 3:16 and 6:19-20, Ephesians 4:30 and 5:18) In the pre-tribulational rapture of the church in which Jesus Christ returns to take His Bride (the church), out of this world to live forever in His glorious presence called Heaven!
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)


OUR VISION: Our vision is to go out into all the world and tell others how much God our Father LOVES them. That God gave his only Son Jesus Christ to come to Earth to show us Himself in a Human form and to be our sin offering so we could come to a Holy God through Jesus and be saved and enjoy our life on earth with a NEW HEART and eternal LIFE in Heaven with God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then that person that we tell will go out and tell and teach and then they will also go out and tell and teach about what Jesus has done for them. Multiply...Multiply...Multiply!
