songs, giving of our tithes & offerings, and the offering of our daily
lives.

We
believe that the Bible is the standard for our lives. Therefore,
it will be taught faithfully through both doctrinal and relevant preaching,
we will read, study, meditate upon and live out the commandments and
principles found in it.

We
believe that God uses prayer to accomplish His will. Therefore,
each person is to be a prayer warrior by praying in their prayer closets,
in corporate prayer meetings, and whenever the Holy Spirit prompts
them to pray.

believe that families are the strength of a church. Therefore,
we will build up the family by training the adults to be better spouses

parental teaching of our children about God.

and modeling Christ before the flock.

We believe that God wants us to be part of His redemptive plan
for mankind. Therefore, we will witness for the Lord Jesus Christ
with our lives and our lips; also, we will pray for, support, and
send out missionaries to take the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
to lost mankind.

We
believe that God has ordained baptism and communion as practices
of His church. Therefore, we will baptize believers in the name of
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and believers are to eat and drink
of the Lord’s Supper until Christ returns.

believe
that all our possessions belong to God. Therefore, we are to be good

a ministry.
