OUR BELIEFS

• Become actively involved in ecumenical dialogue, with our local churches.
• Make our Christian faith known through devoted leadership of both youth and adults.
• Raise our children in a Christian community.

============================================================
How do we commit our lives to Jesus?
<>We acknowledge and tell God that we have sinned
<>We tell Him that we are sorry and repent
<>We tell him that we believe He died to save us from our sins
<>We tell Him that we accept Him as Lord and Saviour
<>Then we find a Bible believing Church to attend
<>We start to read the Bible
<>We start to build our life around the Church
<>We become involved with our Christians
We became a Christian the moment that we receive Christ,
take God at His word and believe His promises. When doubts
arise we think about the words of Jesus from John 5:24, "Verily, verily,
I say unto you, He that heareth my word and believeth on Him that
sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shll not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto lfe." Once we have received Jesus
we can say on the authority of God's Word, "I have eternal life."
