We are a bible base bible believing church, our foundation is rooted and<\/span>
grounded in the word of God. We believe that Gods word is In the Old and the New<\/span>
Testament. And life lessons are reachable and teachable in each historical<\/span>

We believe in the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation<\/span>
We believe that the Holy Scriptures contain all things necessary for salvation<\/span>
We believe all scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable<\/span>

Christ died for the sins of the whole world, he was crucified dead and buried,<\/span>

The Holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one Substance,<\/span>
majesty, and glory, with the Father and the Son, eternal God.<\/span>
The Holy Spirit is that inner strength God gives for help and comfort to do His<\/span>
will. (John 15:26)<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.<\/span>
The sacraments ordained of Christ, are not only badges or tokens of Christian<\/span>
men’s profession, rather they are certain signs of grace, and God’s good<\/span>
will,toward us. God doth work invisible in us and not only quicken, but also<\/span>
strengthen and confirm our faith in Him. There are two sacraments ordained of<\/span>
Christ our Lord in the Gospel; Baptism and the Supper of The Lord.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Baptism is not only a sign of profession and mark of difference, whereby<\/span>
Christians are distinguished from others that are not baptized; but is also a<\/span>
signed of regeneration, or the new birth, in Christ. Baptism is representative<\/span>
of the cleansing power of God. (John 3:13-17)<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Supper of The Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to<\/span>
have among themselves one to another but also is a sacrament of our redemption<\/span>
by Christ’s death. Christ gave himself up for us a fragrant offering and<\/span>
sacrifice to God (Eph. 5:1-2). And if it is received with faith, the bread,<\/span>
which we break, is a partaking of the body of Christ. And likewise, the cup of<\/span>
blessing is a partaking of the blood of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The visible church of Christ is a congregation of faithful believers, in which<\/span>
the pure word of God is preached and taught, and the sacraments duly<\/span>
administered. The church exist to promote the worship of God, which says God is<\/span>
worthy of Praise. The church corrects and edify its members that they may be<\/span>
built up from within. The church in this sense helps in sanctification.<\/span>
Therefore It exists to convert the world. It works against any system that<\/span>
denies any person to be human (Eph 6:10-18).<\/span><\/p>

We believe the church is essential to all walks of life. It is essential to<\/span>
family, community, government, and our spiritual health, we also believe it is<\/span>
essential for our physical health. We are strong believers in (Matt16:18) “The<\/span>
gates of hell will not prevail against the church”<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
