{5} cheering the fallen; {6} providing jobs for the jobless; {7} administering to the needs of those in prisons, hospitals, nursing and senior citizens homes, caring for the sick, the shut-in, the mentally and socially disturbed, {8} and, encouraging thrift and economic advancement.

Our Belief

We believe that both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible constitute the divinely inspired Word of God. We also believe in One God existing eternally in three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Moreover, we believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God (Very Man and Very God), in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. We further believe that the Holy Spirit came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement to regenerate, sanctify, comfort and fill those who believe in Jesus Christ.

As demonstrated in the Word of God, we believe in supernatural healing power and miracles of the Holy Spirit. Through the Word of God, we are taught that man is totally depraved in that of himself and utterly unable to remand his lost condition. Likewise, we know that the life of the believer is to be separated from the world through discipline by a consistent and holy conduct before God and man as a "life-giving" light.

The Word of God teaches us that salvation is a gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed on the cross as an atonement for all sins. According to the Word of God, water baptism symbolizes the believer's union in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In obedience to the Word of God, we are taught to observe the Lord's Supper through Holy Communion, in and effort to commemorate the sacrifice of our Savior for mankind and the Holy Baptism.

Lastly, we believe in the personal and visible bodily return of the lord Jesus Christ.
