Mission

We desire that you know the love of God in Jesus Christ, who was crucified for your sins and raised from the dead for your justification; and believing God's testimony of His Son, that you confess His name and follow Him.

Objectives

We will provide guest accommodations for like-minded evangelists, ministers and missionaries gratis or at reduced rates.

We will develop and maintain a Bible-inspired Christian atmosphere on each property in support of our mission and on behalf of those living out the faith.

Beliefs

God | Yahweh Elohiym is Creator of the heavens and the earth; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God has revealed Himself through His Son, Yahweh Jesus Christ. The Spirit of God testifies of Him and indwells believers.

Man | God created man in His image. All men are able to know, revere, love and believe Him. Every man is unable to save himself from sin and death, and is accountable for his own thoughts and actions.

Salvation | Eternal life is a gift to anyone believing God's testimony of His Son, confessing LORD [Yahweh] Jesus whom God raised from the dead.

Scriptures | The Bible is inspired by God and without error in the original manuscripts. The Church possesses copies of those original manuscripts in their entirety, by way of portions and fragments that comprise the whole.

Creation | God created the heavens and earth in six days, about 6,000 years ago according to the historical accounts of the Patriarch's and Jesus' lineage in the Scriptures.

The Gospel and a Proposition

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 1Cor 15:3-4

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2Cor 5:21

... that if you confess with your mouth LORD Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation. Rom 10:9-10
