"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9-10
Our Beliefs
OUR PURPOSE
Is to follow Christ and make Disciples. Matthew 28:19-20: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
OUR VALUES
Mark 12:30-31: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
THE BIBLE
We believe the Holy Scriptures are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God and is the final authority for faith and life. We believe any other versions which are not in full agreement with it cannot be the true Word of God. We believe that God has providently preserved His Word for us in the Authorized Version of 1611 King James Version.
THE TRUE GOD
We believe that there is only one True and Living God; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
THE FALL OF MAN
We believe that man was created in holiness, but when Adam chose to sin, an eternal divide was created between God and man, the consequence of which all mankind are now sinners and under condemnation of eternal ruin.
THE WAY OF SALVATION
We believe that God offers eternal life as a free gift to all and must be received by faith alone through God's Grace. That grace is through the atoning death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. The only thing to keep a person from being saved is his own depravity and rejection of the gospel.
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. He was tempted in all ways but was sinless. He was crucified for the sins all of mankind and physically rose from the dead 3 days later. He ascended to heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the God the Father, waiting to bring His believers home.
JESUS IS RETURNING
We believe the coming of Jesus Christ is imminent. Believers will be called to stand before the judgement seat of Christ, leaving behind the unsaved to face 7 years of tribulation. At the end of tribulation, Jesus Christ will physically return to earth to rule and reign with His saints. Upon completion of His earthly reign, the unsaved will stand before the Great White Throne of Judgement and be sentenced to the Lake of Fire, while all the saved will take up their eternal abode with Him in the New Jerusalem.
How to Know Jesus
1. God’s Plan—Peace and Eternal Life
God loves you and wants you to experience the peace and eternal life that comes from knowing Him.
The BIBLE says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16
2. Our Problem—Separation
Being at peace with God is not automatic, because by your sin nature you are separated from God. “What sin nature ?” you ask. By Adam’s defiance of God’s Law, which was sin, we all, as descendants, inherit that sinful nature. The BIBLE says: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
3. God’s Remedy—The Cross
God’s love bridges the gap of separation between God and you. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for your sins.
The BIBLE says: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. ” 1 Peter 2:24
4. Our Response—Receive Christ
You cross the bridge into God’s family when you receive Christ by personal invitation.
The BIBLE says: “But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12
To receive Christ you must do four things:
1. ADMIT your spiritual need. “I am a sinner.”
2. REPENT and be willing to turn from your sin.
3. BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross.
4. RECEIVE, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
CHRIST says, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20
The BIBLE says, “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved” Romans 10:13
What to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on Calvary’s cross for my sins. I want to turn away from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
