Our Ministry
Desire and Goal
The gospel we proclaim is Biblically described as “the preaching
of Jesus Christ” and in 1 Timothy 1:11
it is called “the glorious gospel of the blessed God,”
the original language also translatable as “the glad tidings
of the glory of the blessed God.” There is in the gospel
the revelation of the glory of God. We believe firmly that those whom
God redeems from sin and unto Himself through “Jesus Christ
and Him crucified” come to behold His glory in the gospel.
Yet the gospel is the record of a Man, His miraculous virgin birth,
His perfect life, teachings, miracles, death, resurrection and ascension.
He is a Man. But He is God and Man in one person. So that in this
Man the glory of God is manifested, and as Paul the apostle taught
in 2 Corinthians 4:6, there shines forth “the
light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
He is our ministry, our life, our Saviour and our Lord. The preaching
and expounding of the Word of God is central in all of our services,
and the desire to ever increase in the knowledge of God in Christ
our pursuit.
We also believe that the fruit of the new life in Christ is nothing
less than the measure of our conformity to Him (2 Corinthians
3:18). Therefore, we are convinced that the truest way for
the believer to glorify God is to reflect the image of Christ in character,
conduct and testimony to the world. To this end we declare “the
gospel of the grace of God” by using the means of expository
Bible preaching. We do not endeavor to simply make people feel good,
offer religious entertainment or merely the opportunity for social
interaction. It is our fervent desire to give forth the truth as it
is to men as they are and trust God to use His appointed means, as
He is pleased. We are a close-knit church family, but our fellowship
with one another is based solely upon our mutual union with Christ.
We cordially invite you to visit us and experience our ministry for
yourself. You will find both our door and our hearts open to you.
And, we trust, you will also find that our purpose is not to make
a name for ourselves but to bring glory to our enthroned Lord, for
“God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which
is above every name.”
