Fortunately, the operative word is ‘apparently.’ Our Communications Team, or ComTeam for short, spent weeks compiling all of
Christmas can drive us crazy. On one hand, its songs declare that God loves us. Its practices flaunt happy people doing happy things. Its traditions say peace has come to Earth. On the other hand, non-believers challenge, “Excuse me! That sounds good, but have you looked around lately? If your God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and

We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. |
