Some of the most memorable and powerful moments in the ministry
of the Master were centered around the interaction of the Lord
Jesus with women. From the ministry of the woman with the issue
of blood (Matthew 9:18-26) we learn how to have pressing faith.
From the poor widow giving in the temple (Luke 21:1 – 4) we
learn how to give from our hearts. From Mary of Bethany, sitting
at the feet of Jesus, anointing his feet with oil from the alabaster
box and wiping his feet with her tears (Luke 10:38 – 42), we
learn how to serve the Savior, and from the women who went to
the tomb of the resurrected savior, we learn how to spread the
Good News and Gospel of the risen savior (Matthew 28:9-10).

Our beliefs:
- We believe
that God created the heavens and earth, and after God made all
other creatures, he created man, male and female, with reasonable
and immortal souls, rendering them fit unto that life to God
for which they were created. We believe that God created man
after the image of God, in knowledge, righteousness, and true
holiness; having the law of God written in his heart, and power
to fulfill it, and yet under a possibility of transgressing,
man was left to the liberty of his own will, which was subject
to change. We believe that we have enough evidence to see God's
hand of design, as the Creator; We believe that even nature
declares God's glory and creativity.
- We believe
that in order to create meaning in life, man must rely upon
the wisdom of God, which comes from God, in order to solve problems,
and provide guidance for daily living. We believe that man has
no power of his own, for according to the scriptures "In Him
we live and move and have our being..." Acts 17:28a -(NKJV),
we are lifeless without God. St. John 15:5 states "...for without
Me you can do nothing." and I Corinthians 6:19 clearly sates,
"...you are not your own. for you were bought at a price..."
- We believe
and we teach that the Holy Bible is the inspired written word
of God, 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21 and that this word is the foundation
of our faith Eph. 2:20 by which all students, teachers, doctrines
and people must be examined and judged.
- We believe
and we teach that there is one true and living God Deut. 6:4;
1 Cor. 8:4, who is revealed in the Trinity as the Father, the
Son and the Holy Ghost, three distinct persons, but of one and
the same divine essence, equal in power, glory, victory, majesty
and eternity.
- We believe
and we teach that Jesus of Nazareth is the Savior of the world,
whom God has sent into the world as His Son to act as the “mediator”
in reconciling men to God.(John 3:16. )
- We believe
and we teach that personal salvation is made available only
through the blessed grace of God and can be obtained by any
man or woman who by a simple yet profound act of personal repentance
of one’s sins and childlike faith believes in and receives Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior. We believe and we teach that the
atoning blood of Jesus washes our sins away and through divine
“forgiveness of sins” and faith in Christ, we are reconciled
to God.(Luke 13:3-5; John 3:16-18; Acts 20:21; Rom. 6:23; Eph.
2:8, 9)
- We believe
and we teach that God fills His believers with the Holy Ghost,
which empowers us to live for Him and to do the work of Christ.
- We believe
and we teach that the church of Jesus Christ is comprised of
men, women and children who are scripturally baptized believers
who through covenant relationship have committed their lives
to Christ through faith in him and who are actively fulfilling
the role of the church which is to spread the gospel, minister
to the poor and needy, love and encourage one another and serve
and worship God through the power of the Holy Spirit.
- We believe
and we teach that women have an active role in the ministry
of spreading the gospel of Jesus as Jesus both used and interacted
with women throughout his personal ministry.
- We believe
and we teach that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are alive and
working in the church today under the authority of Christ.
- We believe
and we teach the pre-tribulation rapture of the church and the
personal, pre-millennial and visible second coming of Jesus
Christ with His saints to rule on earth.
