 About Us 

 

 Our Mission 

To introduce as many individuals as possible to Jesus Christ by sharing God's word so that many will come to repentance for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

 

To teach individuals how to grow and develop their relationship with God in order to become better Christians.

 

To help individuals discover their spiritual gifts by creating small group ministries, because it is where we believe most individuals' transformation, conversion, leadership and development will take place.

 

To increase unity in the body of Christ through educating and supporting families in such a way that it results in outreach and impacts our communities, region and world, for Jesus Christ with long-term results.

 What We Believe 

The Scriptures
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were given by inspiration of God, and are the only sufficient, certain and authoritative rule of all saving knowledge, faith and obedience.

The Trinity
God is revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence or being.

The Mediator
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, is the divinely appointed mediator between God and man. Having taken upon Himself human nature, (yet without sin), He perfectly fulfilled the law, and suffered and died upon the cross for the salvation of sinners. He was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended to His Father, at whose right hand He forever liveth to make intercession for His people. He is the only Mediator, Prophet, Priest, and King of the Church and Sovereign of the universe who will come again in glory for all true believers among the living and the dead.

The Judgment
God hath appointed a day wherein He will judge the world by Jesus Christ, when everyone shall receive according to his deeds. The wicked shall go away into everlasting punishment and the righteous into everlasting life.

The Fall of Man
God originally created man in His own image and free from sin; but, through the temptation of Satan, he transgressed the command of God and fell from his original holiness and righteousness; whereby his posterity inherit nature, corrupt and wholly opposed to God and His law, are under condemnation, and as soon as they are capable of moral action, become actual transgressors.

The Church
The Lord Jesus is the Head of the Church, which is composed of all His true disciples, and in Him is invested supremely all power for its government. According to His commandments, Christians are to associate themselves into particular societies or churches, and to each of these churches, He has given needful authority for administering that order, discipline and worship which He hath appointed. The scriptural officers of a church are Bishops or Elders (Pastors and Deacons).

The Lord's Supper
The Lord's Supper is an ordinance of Jesus Christ, to be administered with the elements of bread and wine, and to be observed by His churches until the second coming of Christ. It is in no sense a sacrifice, but is designed to commemorate His death, to confirm the faith and other graces of Christians, and to be a bond pledge and renewal of their communion with Him, and of their church fellowship.

 

Baptism
Baptism is an ordinance of the Lord Jesus; obligatory upon every believer wherein he is immersed in water in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, as a sign of his fellowship with the death and resurrection of Christ, of remission of sins, and of his giving himself up to God, to live and walk in newness of life. It is prerequisite to church fellowship and to participation in the Lord's Supper.
