We believe
that repentance is very important for today. Biblically speaking
repentance is turning from the ways of the world, wickedness, evil, things
contrary to the Word of God. God is calling out to all creation for
all those who have not been born again to repent of their ways and turn to
Him. God is also calling out to Christians, for them to turn from the
ways of the world (lives contrary to the Word of God) and to live lives that
bring glory and honor to Him. (Matthew

two destinations; one is in the presence of God, heaven; the other is a
place called hell, eternal separation from God, the lake of fire. (Eccl.

that Spiritual Gifts and Ministries are to be in an orderly fashion (1
Corinthians 14:20-33, Galatians 5:22-26, 2 Peter 1:1-9)
We believe
that love is a true mark of a Christian (Matthew 22:35-40, John 13:34-35, 1
Corinthians 13:1-13)
