Pastor
We exist to spread the Holiness message of hope through love, friendship, and acceptance to all people. Our goal is to reach people by meeting their needs and healing their hurts through the everlasting love of Jesus Christ. We want you to know that Jesus loves you and cares about you. We want you to know that we care about you. We want to extend to you a personal invitation to come and visit us.
Our Focus
Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:37,38 We are to put nothing, no thing before Him. Because He is Worthy of our worship.
Our Purpose
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Matthew 22:39 We can love God only by loving people.
Apart from that we cannot know God.
"If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." 1John 4:20(NIV)
"And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother." 1 John 4:21(NIV)
Apart from this we have no purpose.
We will do our best to love you for who you are, and where you are at.
God has a wonderful plan for your life.
"For I know the plans I have for you, ‘declares the Lord, `plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11
Our goal is to help you find God, discover hope, and build a future that is filled with the peace of God. Apart from God there is no peace. Apart from God the is no hope. Apart from God there is no future. Think about what it would take for you to become "Fully Human and Fully Alive." This is impossible apart from God.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
PENTECOST
Unless the eye catch fire, God will not be seen. Unless the ear catch fire, God will not be heard. Unless the tongue catch fire, God will not be named. Unless the heart catch fire, God will not be loved. Unless the mind catch fire, God will not be known. --William Blake
Friends we need a fire in our souls like William Blake describes. In order to be "Missional" we must catch this fire. We must be concerned about the lost, downtrodden, and the hopeless. Our mission is to reach the unreachable, touch the untouchable, and love the unlovable. Regardless of the color of their skin, national origin, or physical status. We are all the same to God, and He loves us all equally. He suffered and died for us all. He defeated death and Hell for us all. Charles Spurgeon once wrote, “If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies.
If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.”
When we as a church catch Spurgeon's passion for souls, and when it begins to burn in our hearts like Blake describes then God will add souls to the Kingdom. Just some food for thought.
