Identity and Beliefs

• We believe there is only one true God manifested in three distinct Persons:God the Father: The almighty, eternal, immortal, invisible, the only holy and wise God who is unchangeable.God the Son: Jesus who is fully God and fully sinless man, born of a virgin, was crucified, died and buried, and rose from the dead on the third day. We believe that He is The Way, The Truth and The Life through whom we are saved, and the only way to God the Father.God the Holy Spirit: Who indwells and seals us until the coming of our Lord Jesus, and by whom we are empowered to live a godly life
• We believe that the Scripture is God inspired and that it is without error.
• We believe in the physical return of Jesus, his millennial reign and the final judgment.
• We believe that the nation of Israel was chosen by God to be his special people and that all God’s plan for Israel will be fulfilled.

Jesus is the son of the living God (Matt 16:16; Luke 1:31-32). He existed before the foundation of the world was set in place (John 1:1-3, 15; John 17:5). He is the visible image of the invisible God (Col 1:15). Through him all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible were created and are held together (Col 1:16-17) and it is through him alone that we have eternal life (John 3:16; John 17:2,3).

The Bible says that the wages (penalty) of sin is death yet God says he takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked and wants the wicked to turn from his ways and live (Ez 33:11). He also says he does not want any to perish (go to hell) but all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
So what do we do, you ask?

First we recognized that we are sinners and that there is not one sinless person on earth (Psalm 14:1-3; Rom 3:10, 23) and no amount of good works can earn us a place in heaven (Eph 2:8-9). But our God loves us so much that he made a way for us: He sent his Son, Jesus, to take the penalty for our sins (John 3:16). We gain access to heaven only through the shed blood of Jesus. How awesome is that!!

Next we

• Confess our sins to God. There is no sin that is greater than the love and mercy of Almighty God. He forgives all who come to Him and will not turn anyone away – Rom 10:9-10 says “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved”. And again, in 1 John 1:9, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And again Acts 3:19-repent and your sins will be wiped out.

So then we

• Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved – To believe means you put your faith (trust) in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. The Bible says Jesus is the only way to God the Father (John 14:6) because there is no other name under heaven by which man must be saved (Acts 4:12) Therefore, whoever calls on the name of (Jesus) will be saved (Rom 10:13; Acts 2:21)

If you are ready to have a relationship with Jesus here on earth, and for him to prepare a place for you in heaven (John 14:2), then pray these words in faith and mean them with all of your heart.

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I need you. I believe that you are the perfect Son of God and that you died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I repent of my sins and I receive you now as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Please give me the desire and strength to love, obey and serve you. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of God. Be committed and don’t look back. Be faithful, serve him well and tell others about it and never be ashamed of him.
