Love God, Love People, Share The Good News


Matthew 28: 18-20: 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and earth. Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and then teach these new disciples to obey all the commandments I have given you; and be sure of this - that I am with you always, even to the end of the world.

It is the duty of every Christian to win the lost to Christ through the help of the Holy Spirit.' You are invited to become a member of our church by coming forward during the invitation at the close of each worship service.

The Scripture: The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is the record of God's revelation of Himself to man. God There is one and only one living and true God. The eternal God reveals himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being. God speaks to us through his Holy Word.


Prayer is our way to communicate with God to offer praise, make a request, seek guidance, confess sins, or simply to express one's thoughts and emotions.

Baptism: Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Salvation  John 3:16
'For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.'

The Church: The church is a local body of baptized believers who are associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ.

The Lord's Supper: On the evening he was betrayed, while Jesus was eating a meal with his disciples, he took some bread and said, ' This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'   Luke 22:19,20  They each ate a piece of the bread.

When we participate in the Lord's Supper, we each eat a piece of bread in remembrance of Jesus.
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you'.

When we drink a small amount of wine at the Lord's Supper, we remember that Jesus' blood was shed for us, and that his blood signified the new covenant.
The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members of the church, through partaking of the bread and fruit of the vine, memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His Second Coming.
