Mission Statement:
As a Christian community, we seek to be vibrant servants of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by providing a sanctuary where one may be edified through the living Word of God, the Holy Scriptures.

To remain inclusive and unified in the love of Christ while supporting all who seek everlasting life through His grace.

Consider This

Christians must believe and embrace the fact that Jesus Christ, the son of God, is alive today. Our very salvation depends upon this one critical fact. Not only is He alive, he died for our sins and rose never to die again. How can you state that Jesus Christ is not alive when scriptures clearly state that He lives?

We can not abide with those that continually ignore and disregard the scriptures that are essential to life and salvation. Anyone that transgresses and abides not in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. In order to abide in the doctrine of Christ you must have both the Father and the Son (see II John verse 9). We are told not to receive anyone that comes and brings not this doctrine. We can't even bid you God's speed. You are essentially of another religion.

What then can you say about the reconciliation? The Word of God is beautifully detailed for our learning; however we must submit. I pray for those who find offense in the fact that Jesus Christ- the son of God has come down from heaven, died, rose again and has returned to heaven until all His enemies are made His footstool. It is impossible for man to serve someone that is not alive. Scripture tells us in II Corinthians 5:15, And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

How can you continue to ignore the powerful scriptures that magnify Jesus Christ and His mighty work and profess to be Christian? Romans 16:17 and 18 tell me to avoid you. Will you bask in your own understanding or will you come to Christ? CONSIDER THIS
