We Believe in:
1. One God, creator of heaven and earth, eternally existent, manifest in three personalities: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Ephesians 4: 4-6,
2nd Corinthians 13:14
2. The Bible to be divinely inspired, infallible, and the authoritative Word of God.
2nd Timothy 3:16, John 6:63
3. The deity of Jesus Christ, being the only true Son of Almighty God, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death. His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, His imminent personal return in power and glory as the “Lord of Lords” and “King of Kings.”
4. Man’s fallen and lost condition, making necessary a rebirth through belief and confession (repentance)
Romans 3:10-12, 21-24
5. The reconciliation of man to God by the substitutionary death of Jesus and His shed blood.
Romans 3:25-26

`7. The outward confirmation of repentance and salvation through water baptism by immersion.
Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3,4
8. The resurrection of believers unto everlasting life and blessing in heaven, and the resurrection of unbelievers unto everlasting punishment in the torments of hell.
Luke 16: 20-26 Revelation 20: 13-15 and Revelation 21: 8
9. The present and continuing supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit in the church of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:8-10 1 Corinthians 1:7
10. One holy, universal church, which is the body of Christ and to which all true believers belong and in its mission to witness concerning the head of this body, Jesus Christ, preaching the Gospel to all people and nations.
Mathew 28: 19,20
11. We believe in the sanctity of life, from conception to natural death. Jeremiah 1:5
12. We believe marriage is a holy sacrament ordained by God as a union of one man and one woman in a covenant relationship.
Gen 1:27-28, 2:23-24, Mt. 19:4-6
You need to do five things to join God’s family. If you haven’t already, I urge you to make a commitment to follow Christ when you are sincerely ready by taking the following steps:
1. Admit your spiritual need. “I am a sinner.”
2. Repent and ask God’s forgiveness. Be willing to turn from your sin and, with God’s grace and mercy, start living to please Him.
3. Believe that Christ Jesus is your personal Saviour, who was sent down from heaven to die on the cross to pay for and free you from your sin.
4. Through prayer, receive Jesus Christ into your heart and life. Sincerely pray a prayer similar to the one below: Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and that You rose again from the grave, and that You have power over death. Right now, I turn from my sins and open my heart for You to enter into my life. I receive You as my personal Lord and Saviour and I thank You for saving me.
5. Then tell a believing friend and/or a Pastor of your commitment [](click here to share your good news with Pastor Karl or Pastor Margaret).
The Bible assures us of God’s willingness to listen to us: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
Daily Rules from God
- Wake Up!! Decide to have a good day. ‘Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.’ Psalms 118:24
- Dress Up!! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. ‘The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart.’ I Samuel 16:7
- Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. ‘He who guards his lips guards his soul.’ Proverbs 13:3
- Stand Up!!… For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. ‘Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good…’
Galatians 6:9-10
- Look Up!!… To the Lord. ‘I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.’ Philippians 4:13
- Reach Up!!… For something higher. ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path.’ Proverbs 3:5-6
- Lift Up!!… Your Prayers. ‘Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING.’ Philippians 4:6 and remember:
God answers ‘Knee’-Mail.
