What We Believe

The first step to becoming a Christian is to realize that you have not followed God and have built up a wall between the two of you.  You build up a wall by your own thoughts and actions which are contrary to God’s plan and purpose for your life.  God truly does want to have a relationship with you but cannot until you realize that you are “lost” 

The next step is to know that by your own thoughts and actions you have forfeited, or given up, your spiritual life.  In other words, you cannot hope for life in heaven after death without acknowledging Jesus.  For, you see, you cannot make up for your own sin by offering your life so Jesus gave his in your place. 

God so much wants to have a personal relationship with you that he allowed his only son, Jesus, to die in your place through crucifixion (being nailed to a cross). 

If you can accept this as truth in your heart and make a decision to start living your life according to God’s plan, admitting to others that you intend to follow Jesus, your dead spirit will be brought to life and you can have everlasting life with God in his kingdom. 

If you have followed these steps and believed in your heart that Jesus has saved you, please pray this prayer and let us know. 

Dear God,
 I know that I have not lived life according to your plan.  I am sorry and I intend to do as you want from this point on.  I want to have a relationship with you, and I accept that Jesus died so that I could have that relationship.  He is payment for the things I have done wrong. 
In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen
