PERSONAL STATEMENT OF SALVATION AND CALL TO MINISTRY
I was raised in a two-parent household. My mother and dad
ensured that I was acquainted with the teachings of Christ
and the church during my childhood. Subsequently, I accepted
Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 16. I was
highly active in church from that point forward. At the age
of 18, I diligently began to seek the knowledge of Christ
through personal study of His word felling His small still
voice calling me into some field of service. At the age of
26, I finally understood that purpose and accepted what I
consider a divine call to the Pastoral, Preaching, and
Teaching Gospel ministry. This is where I started on a
proactive path toward Christian leadership training, Pastoral
care training, Doctrinal and Seminary education, and the
preaching of the Gospel message. I have been steadfast in the
faith ever since this start in the study of and the preaching
of His Word. Under the supervision and charge of some
wonderful Pastors along the way, I have grown tremendously in
faith and practice. Subsequently, my hope is built on nothing
less than Jesus Christ and His righteousness and I serve Him
through the leadership of the Holy Spirit of God.
MINISTRY STATEMENT & PHILOSOPHY
My personal belief is that every church should have a passion
to reach the unchurched and to make disciples. Everything
that occurs in ministry should, in one way or the other, be
aimed at this target. Furthermore I fully believe this can be
accomplished by diligently pursuing the call God has placed
in my life to preach, teach, train, and empower every
believer with the uncompromising Word of God. My goal as
Pastor is to help each Christian within the church to reach
their full potential as a believer in Christ. This can all be
accomplished by (1) Holding to biblical foundations and
truths (2) having a heart for God (3) Having a mission
Mindset (4) Striving for creative communication (5)
Understanding the culture we live in (6) Keep relationships
primary(7) Maintain excellency and creativity.

DOCTRINAL BELIEF
I believe in one God existing in three unique persons of the
Trinity, God the Father who is ruler over all and Sovereign
in Heaven, God the Son, Jesus Christ who was born of a
virgin, and was fully God and fully man. Lived a sinless
life, died an undeserving death, and was raised on the third
day to the glory of the Father. Instructed and empowered His
disciples and then ascended back into heaven to sit at the
right hand of the Father making intercessions for every
believer. God the Holy Spirit who was sent to earth by the
Father after Jesus ascended back into heaven to indwell every
believer and empower them for service, to encourage, teach
and comfort those who trust in Christ. He also came to
convict the lost and to draw men to Christ for forgiveness of
sin. Finally, I believe the Bible to be the infallible and
inspired Word of God, without error or mistake within its
pages, given to man to write through the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit. I believe it is sufficient for the needs of the
believer and the universal church, including growth in
holiness and righteousness unto the Lord. It is out guide,
instruction manual on living a holy life, and our
encouragement in times of suffering and need. I believe in
the return of Christ for every believer before the
Tribulation Period begins, and the 1,000 year reign of Christ
on this earth to rule and reign. I believe that every
believer will be judged for their works at the return of
Christ for the church, not their sins, and they will be
rewarded according to those works they have performed while
living on this earth. I also believe in the judgment of the
lost who will give an account of their lives as well to
Christ and then be cast into a literal hell for their
rejection of Christ as Lord and Savior. I believe in a
literal heaven where every believer will live throughout
eternity basking in the grace and love of the One who died
for them and God the Father who loved the world so much that
He sent His only Son to die for them. I also believe in a
literal hell where every unbeliever will live and suffer for
all eternity separated from God and His love and mercy never
to see heaven or escape that punishment.
