DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

In addition to believing the Baptist Faith and Message, I will list some foundational landmarks which I not only base my ministry upon, but also upon which I build my life. I believe:
• That the Bible is the written Word of God, without error and is the authority teaching us what to believe and how to live.
• That we are all naturally separated from God because of what the Bible calls Sin.
• That this separation from God can only be restored by the undeserved and unmerited help of God.
• That Jesus died on the cross for our sins in our place.
• That Jesus rose from the grave and is alive today reconciling people to God.
• That this reconciling work of Jesus is appropriated by faith alone.
• That we can trust God’s Spirit for daily strength and wisdom we need.
• That one glorious day Jesus will return for His people.

VISION STATEMENT

To lead local churches in revival meetings, trusting God to sovereignly work to give repentance, refreshing, and renewal. To carry the gospel message to all peoples of the world, believing God to empower His message and to call sinners unto Himself.
