Mission & Vision Statement
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (Rhema) that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" (Matthew 4:4, HBFV).
From Hebrew, “rhēma” speaks of finding undeserved favor and acceptance, becoming pleasant, as a virtue coming from God, with no participation of human effort or work.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reach out to the world with the life-changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the message of Divine Grace to humanity! We want to teach people to know and experience The God of grace and grow in grace before God and before men (Luke 2:52; 2 Timothy 2:1).
We want to raise a powerful generation, under grace, learning to deny to ungodliness and worldly lusts and live soberly and righteously onto perfection (Titus 2:11-13; Hebrews 6:1-2).
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a family where people realize the Word of God, which has saved us from death through the forgiveness of our sins and made us be seated with God in heavenly places; and consider that it is not by works so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:5-9).
We want to encourage people to come as they are in all honesty and boldness before God (Hebrews 4:16), without fear of being judged or condemned, and receive his free gift of everlasting life through Grace (Romans 6:23).

Our Latest Sermons
Statement of faith
These 12 beliefs are the pillars of our faith:
1. The Bible is inspired by God and is “the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct”. (2 Timothy3:16)
2. There is only one true God who exists as The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 4:6; Deuteronomy 6:4; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
3. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and God manifested in the flesh to save humanity.
4. Man was created good by God but was separated from God through original sin. Through repentance and faith towards the Lord Jesus Christ, Salvation is received. (John 3:16; Romans 6:23). We confess our belonging to Him in obeying to His ordinances: Believer’s baptism by immersion as a declaration to the world that we have died and been raised together with Christ, becoming a new creation; The Lord’s Supper as a symbol expressing our sharing in the divine nature of Christ, a memorial of Christ’s suffering and death, and a prophecy of Christ’s second coming. (Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
5. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate and subsequent experience following conversion. Spirit baptism brings empowerment to live an overcoming Christian life and to be an effective witness, with speaking in tongues as the initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4-17)
6. Sanctification is “an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God”. It is a process that requires continual yielding to the Holy Spirit by walking in faith. (2 Corinthians 7:1)
7. The Church’s mission is to seek and save all that are lost in sin; the church is the Body of Christ and consists of all people who accept Christ, regardless of the Christian denomination. (Matthew 28:18-20)
8. Divinely called and scripturally-ordained ministers serve the church. (Acts 13:1-3)
9. Divine healing of the sick is provided for in the atonement. (Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24)
10. The imminent and blessed hope of the church is its rapture preceding the bodily return of Christ to earth. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
11. The church’s rapture will be followed by the visible return of Christ and his millenary reign on earth. (Revelation 20:4)
12. There will be a final judgment and eternal damnation for the “wicked dead”, and there will be future new heavens and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness forever. (Hebrews 9:27; Revelations 20:11-15; 21:1-8).
