It has not been an easy process but we thank God for the Holy Spirit that guided us and enabled us to smoothly make it a success.
WE WELCOME YOU!
Let us keep on praying for our new leadership, their family and ourselves so that the will of God can be done.
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank you for accepting our invitation to join in “Advancing The Kingdom of God” as we are celebrating 35 Years of Ministry. We are grateful for the contributions you made leading up to and throughout this week.
We Believe…
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead; that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor.
In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
WEWHATBELIEVE
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. That regeneration,justification,and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living Saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word; and by the Holy Ghost. Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. In the Lord’s supper and washing of the Saints’ feet.
In the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In dressing in modest apparel according to I Timothy 2:9-10 and I Corinthians 11:14-15; and also Deuteronomy 22:5.
