Our mission and purpose
is to spread the Word of God, to Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To be
totally submissive to Christ, to practice and teach the Authority of
Scripture, the Authority of Christ, Biblical Stewardship and Our
responsibility as believers to the Body and to Christ. While it is not our
goal to offend anyone, we are aware and understand that people when
confronted with their own sinfulness, they will be offended.
- We will stress and
teach the importance and authority of scripture. Scripture is the supreme
authority for our lives and should be treated as such. The Author is the
Creator God; scripture is His divine revelations of Himself, His desire
and will for our lives.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:2-5 (NKJV) 2
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke,
exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time
will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their
own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for
themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from
the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be
watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
fulfill your ministry.
2 Corinthians 4:1-6 (NKJV)
Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do
not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of
shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully,
but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s
conscience in the sight of God. 3 But even if our gospel is
veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds
the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of
the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
on them. 5For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the
Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For
it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone
in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the
face of Jesus Christ.

We will teach Christ, the Only
Begotten Son of the Most High God, the God revealed in Holy Scripture. We
will teach His Virgin Birth, Life, Ministry, and His Death on a Cross-, His
Resurrection on the Third Day and His Ascension to the Right Hand of The
Father in Heaven.
John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.
Luke 1:26-35 (NKJV) 26 Now in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house
of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the
angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women!” 29 But when she saw him, she was
troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you
have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in
your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name
Jesus. 32
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord
God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will
reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no
end.” 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I
do not know a man?” 35 And the angel answered and said to her,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will
overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be
called the Son of God.
John 1:1-5 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the
beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and
without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life,
and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Revelation 22:13, 16 (NKJV) 13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First
and the Last.”16 I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to
you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David,
the Bright and Morning Star.

We will teach the Biblical
Principles, and Encourage Personal and Spiritual Growth, Scriptural
Thinking, Maturity in Christ and Love.
1 Peter 2:1-3 (NKJV) Therefore, laying aside all malice,
all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn
babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1 Peter 2:11-20 (NKJV) 11
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts
which war against the soul, 12 having your conduct honorable
among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may,
by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the
Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 14 or to governors,
as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the
praise of those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that
by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 16
as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of
God. 17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor
the king. 18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all
fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 19
For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures
grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what credit is it if, when
you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good
and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work
2 Timothy 2:14-16 (NKJV) 14 Remind them of
these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no
profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present
yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle
babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
