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. |
