| We would like to
welcome you to visit our church. Our services are planned to meet
your needs and we believe God has great things in store for us and
you. In our services:
- We lift our hands in prayer
and praise.
"I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting holy
hands ..." 1 Tim 2:8 KJV
- We sing with all our hearts.
"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord ... and sing praise"
Psalm 98:4 KJV
- We pray together
"They lifted up their voices to God with one accord"
Acts 4:24 KJV
- We clap our hands.
"O clap your hands all ye people" Psalm 47:1 KJV
- We testify publicly
"Whosoever shall confess me, before him shall the Son of Man
confess before the angels of God" Luke 12:8 KJV
- We baptize in the Name of
Jesus.
"Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ ..." Acts 2:38 KJV
- We believe in receiving the
Holy Ghost.
"For the promise is unto you and to your children, and to
all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall
call." Acts 2:4,39; 10:46; & 19:6 KJV
Peter's Message of Salvation Acts 2:1-39
- "Repent"
Repentance means that we turn our back on sin. Think how your
past actions have grieved the heart of God, then firmly decide
to "turn around on the inside." Make Jesus the new Lord, or
"Boss" of your life.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1
John 1:19 KJV
- "And be baptized in the Name
of Jesus Christ"
Water baptism is a way of "acting out" a burial of our past
life, similar to Christ's burial in the tomb. Sins and
transgressions against God's Law are buried and forgotten. The
record made clean. This act of faith is the initiation rite by
which we enter into the Kingdom of God. As we take on the Name
of Jesus, we become a member of God's family
- "And ye shall receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost"
This very special and wonderful gift is a new birth of eternal
life! When Christ baptizes or "submerges" us into His love, a
spiritual transformation begins. Like a child, we begin speaking
our new Father's language. As Jesus Promised, "...these
signs shall follow them that believe; in my Name shall they ...
speak with new tongues..." Mark 16:17 KJV
