THE GOSPEL
We believe as a result of the fall and mankind's sinfulness, all of mankind is in need of salvation from eternity in hell. Full faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only means of salvation. Salvation is given as a free gift to all who accept it, and all who believe shall spend eternity in Heaven in perfect fellowship with God.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, died on the cross for the sins of mankind, and rose on the third day to be seated at the right hand of the father. We believe He will return to judge the world and complete his redemptive mission.

NEXT STEPS
A = ADMIT that you’re a sinner and need forgiveness…
There is a God–one Creator and Ruler of the universe. He is perfect, holy, and worthy of worship. The Bible is a record of His words to mankind, and it says that all people have sinned.
This means we have not met God’s standard of moral purity. We have denied Him. We have broken His laws. We have made gods of ourselves by serving our own desires instead of Him.
As sinners, we are condemned to death. God cannot fellowship with evil; He must punish the guilty. So our sin separates us from God in this brief life and for eternity afterwards.
B = BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead…
God is merciful and wants you to live. He doesn’t need anyone, but He loves you and wants you to know Him. So He stepped in to save us if we turn away from sin–repent–and turn toward Him.
Somebody had to suffer the just consequence of our sin. So He sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to take our punishment upon Himself. As God, He is perfect and deserved no punishment of His own. As a man, He was able to die in the place of guilty men (and women).
He submitted to death on the cross to pay our penalty. Thus, whoever believes on Him is cleared of guilt now. Then God raised Him from the dead. Thus, whoever believes on Him will be raised to eternal life later. Only through faith in this Gospel can we receive this gift.
C = CONFESS your faith in Jesus Christ and His Lordship over your life…
As a sinner you need salvation but don’t deserve it and can’t earn it. In His mercy and great love He provided it for you. Now come to Christ to receive it.
God isn’t asking you merely to agree with these points; He’s saying you need a saving faith. Saving faith is total trust in a sinless Savior. Saving faith places God on the throne of your life. Saving faith says, “Take me, Lord. I’m yours.” This kind of faith, even a small faith at first, begins your new relationship with God almighty.
So confess these things to Him; tell Him openly. Tell Him that you know you’re a sinner. Tell Him that you believe He died for your sins and rose again. Tell Him that you want Him to be the Lord of your life. Then ask for His forgiveness.
