Statement of Faith

We believe in one God, who framed and created the world and everything in it from nothing, and in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. He was the only begotten Son of God, born of the Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mary. He was the Lamb of God, Giver of life, and is the Redeemer for all mankind. We uphold that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are manifestations of the one true God and they dwell in him.

​

We believe that all mankind must repent of sin, be born again by baptism in Jesus name and be regenerated by receiving God’s gift to all men, the Holy Ghost.

​

We believe that our lives should reflect the life of Jesus Christ in the world today. And that we should be Ambassadors of the Kingdom we desire to inherit.

​

We believe in living a pure and consistent life as the Holy Ghost perfects each day. We maintain that the Lord will judge the living and dead, and Jesus Christ will return to receive a people who have prepared themselves for His coming.

Greetings in the precious name of Jesus.

​

Thank you for visiting this website. Through your continual interest, it is my hope that you will find that I am committed to preaching the end-time message to this generation. While the devil is set on his mission to steal, kill, destroy, and deceive this world. I am also set on preaching the power of God’s word that will enlighten mankind, cause us to walk with integrity, and receive the blessings of God by our consistency.

​

My goal is to do 21st century, kingdom ministry, while re-establishing the “way of holiness” that has been set before us. Revival is now. It starts today.

​

I pray that the purpose and will of God for your life is fulfilled. I look forward to hear from you. Pray for us as we continue to declare truth, because

“The lip of truth shall be established for ever…”.
