What We Believe
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, giving a true history of the creation of heaven, earth, and humanity and containing a correct prophecy of the ages to come regarding heaven, earth, and the destiny of humanity. Moreover, there is no salvation outside of what is taught in its pages.
Our Faith
There is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), in the son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit).
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord
Our Mission
To please the LORD by obeying His Word.
Our Values
After we are saved from sin, we are commanded, "Go, and sin no more" (John 8:11).
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
We are commanded to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world (Titus 2:12).
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
And warned that without holiness no one shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14), we must present ourselves as holy unto God (Romans 12:1), cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit (2 Corinthians 7:1), and separate ourselves from all worldliness (James 4:4).
Follow peace with all {men}, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, {which is} your reasonable service.
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
"If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"" (I Peter 4:18). No one can live a holy life by his own power, but only through the Holy Spirit. "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you" (Acts 1:8).
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
