Church Vision & Mission
We believe that this church is and shall forever be a house of refuge for all that chooses to abide therein.  Our mission is to reach lost souls and to be kingdom builders for our Lord & Savior!

Our Belief
We believe that every word of God is right and true.  For He declares that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, as it is profitable for doctrine, reproof, for correction, for instruction on righteousness”  (I Timothy 3:16)

We believe in the way of holiness and that holiness in and of itself is a way of life
(Ephesians 1:4, Hebrews 12:14, I Peter 2:9).

We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 1:5).

We believe in both the command and power of prayer
(I Thessalonians 5:16, James 5:15-16).

We believe that we must live in the divine love of God (St. John 13:35).

We believe in miracles and that all things are possible with God (Luke 1:37, Jeremiah 33:17, Jeremiah 33:27).

We believe that there are eternal rewards or consequences for how we live our lives (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Romans 6:23).
