WE ARE CHARGED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

  • To seek the lost and get them saved.
  • Teach them the uncompromising Word of God.
  • Teach them how to live by faith, not by sight – that is our church name.
  • Teach them about their Kingdom citizenship.
  • Teach them that they can live Kingdom lifestyle right now. 

With these goals in mind, we endeavor to spread the Gospel to all people, clearly and without denominational bias — ultimately helping them to develop a close relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. We will not only enhance your knowledge and understanding of God's Word but also to nourish your spirit and minister to your soul. 

We believe that by presenting the wonderful truths of the Scripture in an exciting and simple format, you will be motivated to dig deeper in personal Bible study (Acts 17:12), and apply God's Word in a practical way in your daily Christian walk.

While our methods of presenting the Gospel are flexible, our message is fixed: we do not compromise sound Biblical doctrine; we seek to graciously proclaim the need for personal salvation by faith in Jesus Christ to everyone regardless of race, gender, education, religion, or nationality. Jesus said to His disciples,
"Ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem [local], and in all Judea [national], and in Samaria [cross-cultural], and unto the uttermost part of the earth [international]" (Acts 1:8).

 

 

If  you are in our area, please visit us. You will be received with a warm welcome and the love of God, and we will be extremely blessed with your presence. 

Be assured, that as ministers of the Lord, my wife and I are here to serve your spiritual needs.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, and infallible, authoritative Word of God.
  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood.
  • We believe that for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration of the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary.
  • We believe in the present active ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
  • We believe in the second coming of Christ and that His coming includes the rapture of the Saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His Saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they who are saved unto the resurrection of life and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
  • We believe that heaven and hell are for real - definite places.
  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers of our Lord Jesus Christ.
