WELCOME
What a mighty blessing it is for us to join together for yet another wonderful Homecoming Celebration. Despite the unexpected changes and losses throughout the pandemic to now, we have still seen positive progression and innovation continually within our ministry. We thank our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for his continued hand to guide and bless us.
It seems like it was only such a short while ago that we celebrated and its now time again for our 36th Annual Homecoming Celebration! What better way to continue advancing the Kingdom of God than to Ask For The Old Path? It is the good way, so let us all walk therein.
Our prayer is that you not only enjoy good singing, dancing and preaching but that after this week you also leave impacted and empowered to do the work of the Lord.

We Believe...
In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
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.
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 justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
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 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 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.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord’s supper and washing of the Saints’ feet.
In the pre millennial 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 the bodily resurrection; eternal
life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
In dressing in modest apparel according to 1 Timothy 2:9-10 and 1 Corinthians 11:14-15; and also Deuteronomy 22:5.
