Dear Browser,

You may be asking yourself, “What is a church, and why does it exist”?  The answer is found in the Bible, our Holy Book (made up of 66 smaller books), written by men inspired by God.  The Bible quotes Jesus in saying, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.   Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (the book of Matthew, chapter 28, verses 18-20)  As it says in the above verse, “Go and make disciples”.  Disciples are people who have asked Jesus to be their Savior, and who try to follow Him and His teachings.

 

Our job as a church is to lovingly point people to Jesus.  He is the Savior of the world as God Himself teaches us in the Bible, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”(John chapter 3, verse 16)  God saves us through Jesus and gives us eternal life.

 

How does someone “Believe” in Him?  God Himself tells us through His apostle (a sent one) Paul in the book of Romans, chapter 10 and verse 9, “ if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. “

 

Our message is simple, “Believe in Jesus” and our goal is plain, “and be a follower of Him”.  And so we invite you to “Confess, Jesus is Lord, and to believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead” for if you do “you will be saved”.  Please come and join us as we would strive to be followers of Jesus (disciples).  If you are unable to join us, please find a church near you that believes in the Bible and teaches their people to be disciples of Jesus.

 

We give this simple prayer as a guideline as to “How to confess and believe”.

 

      Dear Lord Jesus,

I am a sinner, and so I ask you to forgive me of my sin and to come into my life and save me.  I confess that You are Lord and I ask you to be Lord of my life.  I believe that You rose again and that You have the power to save me.  Thank you for doing as You said You would, Amen.

 

Please remember this date and write it down, for if you have done the above and meant it, today is the day that Jesus saved your soul.  Today will matter for all eternity!
