NON-DENOMINATIONAL CHURCH
DEDICATED TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
ESTABLISHING GOD'S WORD HERE ON EARTH
WE BELIEVE:
The Bible We believe that the Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the revelation of God to mankind, is verbally and fully inspired by Him, is sufficient for the knowledge of God and His will that is necessary for the eternal welfare of mankind, is infallible and inerrant in its original manuscripts, and is the supreme and final authority for all Christian faith and conduct.
God We believe that there is but one God, whose essential nature is that of a living, personal Spirit. He is infinitely perfect in all of His attributes, He is the creator and sustainer of all things, and He exists in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man; that is, He is fully divine and also fully human. He preexisted eternally with the Father, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life and died a substitutionary death for the sins of mankind. We believe that He arose bodily from the grave, that He ascended to heaven, where He is presently High Priest and Advocate for His people, and that He will return personally and bodily to the earth at the close of this age. He is the world’s only Savior and is the Lord of all.
The Holy Spirit We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, the third Person of the Trinity. We believe that He was sent from the Father by the Son to convict the world, to regenerate and indwell those who trust in Christ, to baptize them into the Body of Christ, to seal them for the final day of redemption, to guide them into truth, to fill them for a life of holiness and victory and to empower them for witness and service. We believe that He gives spiritual gifts to believers for the proper functioning of the Body of Christ, which is the Church.
The Precious Blood of Jesus Christ makes atonement for our sins.
He has paid the price for sin.
For the wages of sin is death.
Jesus Christ paid the debt.
We are made the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ.
By Grace we are saved, through faith.
Place your faith in the Living Word of God
Jesus Christ.
How to receive Christ:
Admit your need (I am a sinner).
Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.
Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as your Savior).
What to Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am sinful and I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died to pay the penalty for my sin. I want to turn from my sin nature and follow You instead. I invite You to come into my heart and life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
God's Assurance: His Word
If you sincerely prayed this prayer and asked Jesus Christ to come into your life, do you know what He has given you?
The Bible Says...
"Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 10:13
"Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:39
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:1
"He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,
that you may know that you have eternal life...."
1 John 5:12-13, NKJV
Your New Life:
When you receive Christ, you are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, who indwells every believer...this is called regeneration or "new birth."
God bless you as you begin your wonderful new life in Christ.
