Fellowship
Fellowshiping with Others We stand firmly by the Biblical standard in Acts 10:34--“Of a truth I perceive, that God is no respecter of persons.” He loves us all equally, and wants us to love each other equally. We have been blessed by God to have a very diverse congregation, that practices unconditional love. We strive as a congregations, to reach out to our community and embrace people of all ethnicities.
The Word
Learning the Word We believe that the Bible is our “Instruction Manual” for living the “Good Life” on this earth. 2 Timothy 3:16-17--“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. We believe that you can find Biblical Relevance for all of life’s situations. Life will have a firm foundation when you build it on the Word of God.
Serving
Serving the Lord Our desire is to be ever expanding our Service to the Lord. We feel it is both a Privilege and an Honor to serve our divine purpose in life, by serving God and serving others. We have many opportunities for hands-on involvement in using your gifts to reach others. We believe that each person, in the body of Christ, has his own special purpose, and we desire to encourage you to find your purpose in God’s Kingdom.
Worship
Worship the King Our belief is that first and foremost, that God is to be the center of your life. We believe that the main reason we assemble together, as a family of God, is to worship Our Lord. As we humbly seek to trust Him and put our Faith in Him, He will give us His Wisdom, His Peace and His Blessing. We desire for you to know the fullness of God and the overflowing power of His Love.

JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD HAS COME, LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING If you lose your Joy, You have lost your Strength. The Bible tells us the Joy of the Lord is our strength. So if we are without Joy, how do we get it back? Maybe we should look at how we lose our Joy first. 1. We lose our Joy when we focus on the wrong things. The Bible tells in Phillipians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." We must continue to renew our minds to keep our Joy. 2. We lose our Joy when we continue to serve ourselves instead of God. God promises to give us the desires of our hearts, but how do we aquire these desires? Psalm 37: 3-5 " Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this." 3. We lose our Joy when we lose Faith. Continue to dwell on the word concerning Faith. The Bible encourages us in Hebrews 11:1 1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. So let us focus on the good, pure, and lovely things in life. Problems will be there everyday, but to achieve Victory we must look at the good. Serve God with all your heart and He will bring your desires to fruition. Faithfully believe the promises of God, even when you don't see the answers in the physical realm. God is the God of the Impossible because if it were possible for you to do it, you already would have. He is our Joy, our Truth and our Light, no matter how Dark things get at times. Fight for your Joy and soon your Strength will be renewed like the Eagles, and you will run and not grow weary and you will walk and not faint. There is Joy like none other when we serve the Lord! |

How are women like grapes? We have a tough exterior and yet we are soft inside. We are good for your heart. We like hanging out in bunches. We are sweet and juicy!We can stand pressure. But.......when you put on too much pressure, we will explode. I believe that all Christians will go through tests in their lives. Most of us will Face tests within our family, with our finances, with patience, and with our health at times. When these test come, we are given the opportunity to look at the situation And either get in fear and lack of faith, or trust God and believe Him when we cannot see any good thing coming. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.” Hebrews 11:1
