About Our Beliefs


We subscribe to a
literal, historical, grammatical interpretation of scripture.

  • Literal means we believe the bible is the inspired word of GOD to be taken at face value unless there is compelling reason to do otherwise (usually indicated in the context of the passage).
  • Historical means that each passage is put into its proper historical setting, and surrounded with the thoughts, attitudes and feelings prevalent at the time of writing.
  • Grammatical means that words are given meanings consistent with their common understanding in the original language at the time of writing.

We believe in the imminent return of our Lord for His Church (The Rapture), to be followed first by a period of judgment (The Great Tribulation) and then His final return to Earth with His church to Rule and reign for 1000 years (The Millennium).

That mankind is hopelessly lost due to sin and, destined for destruction,  and can only be saved by the completed work of our Savior on the cross through the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit. No amount of human effort or good work will suffice in lieu of this and none is required or necessary to supplement it.

That our salvation is laid up in heaven, free for the asking, granted to everyone without condition or prejudice, out of the incomparable riches of God’s grace.

That every one can, and indeed must, individually seek this salvation by choosing a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

That all who ask will receive, all who seek will find, and to all who knock on the door will have it opened to them. It is our Father’s will that all who look to His Son, who went to the cross for us can be saved, healed and delivered.

That once this relationship is sought and granted it can never be revoked or relinquished. Having been granted irrespective of merit, it will be preserved in like manner.

That the only true church is the body of believers from all walks of life and every denomination and faith who have put their trust in Jesus and only Jesus for their redemption.

How to Become a Christian

Admit. Admit that you need a right relationship with God

Believe. Believe that God's Son Jesus Christ makes it possible for you to have a right relationship with God.

Confess. Confess your sin to God and accept His forgiveness and ask Him into your heart. Everyone of us chooses to live our lives like we want to, taking charge, ignoring God, pleasing ourselves. That's what separates us from God. That's why we need His forgiveness.

Dedicate. Dedicate yourself as a fully devoted follower of Christ. Receiving God's gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ will set you in a new direction because now you're following Christ.

Express. Express your faith in Christ publicly. It requires a clear confession that you have given Him your very life.

 

We support the brave men and women who serve in the United States military, past and present. America and Jesus love you.
