Who Are We?

Basic Beliefs:

1. The soul that sins will surely die (regardless of what a person says or claims)
2. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and helps us see our need for God
3. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
4. Good works do not make a person right or worthy before God because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
5. Jesus Christ is the only begotten of God the Father, born of a virgin, Mary according to the line of King David of Israel
6. Jesus Christ is the Messiah and the Savior of both the Jews and non-Jews
7. Jesus was bruised for our sins and suffered and died on the cross to take away our iniquities
8. Jesus rose from the dead (resurrected) on the third day and appeared to his disciples
9. Repentance, faith in Jesus and obedience to his commands are requirements for eternal salvation
10. Faith and belief are evidenced in a person's life by what he does (faith without works is dead)
11. God gives his Holy Spirit to those who obey Him and the Spirit leads God's people into all truth

15. God the Father has set a day in which He will judge the living and the dead with justice to repay each person according their deeds by the man He has appointed, Jesus Christ

Denomination:

We believe and belong to the body of Christ which is made up individuals from every nation, language, tribe and people.  We do not find our unity in our denominational backgrounds or our past cultural traditions.  The denominations of today, in our view, have only served to divide the body of Christ over false doctrines and quarrels about words and disputes and has led to many rivalries, pretenses and false judgments.  We believe that a person must throw away the gods of their forefathers and seek the true God and eternal life through the Spirit by the living and enduring Word of God (the Bible).

If you are involved in a denomination and are dissatisfied with what you are experiencing, we encourage you to hold fast to the Word of God and seek Him.  If you seek the Lord and believe that He will give you everything you need for life and godliness, then God will answer your prayers.  God will provide you with the necessary body of Christ with whom you may have true fellowship in the Spirit.  We are commanded in the Word of God to, "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." (2 Tim 2:22)

And again, "I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. ¹¹But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person." (1 Cor 5:9-11)

We believe these Scriptures and advise Christians to seek godly fellowship along with others who are holding to the teachings of Christ and overcoming sin.  It is clear that we are not to tolerate or keep company with people who call themselves "a brother" yet have unrepentant sin in their lives.  Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all that you need will follow including other members of the body of Christ who love and worship our God in spirit and in truth.
