Biblical Truth and Discipleship
Christ instituted the Church as His own precious possession to fulfill the Great Commission by declaring His Gospel to a world that is lost in spiritual darkness. The members of His Church are not meant to be a closed society concerned only with the needs of the congregation.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is that central moment in human history that serves as the foundational doctrine of Christianity.
The Bible consists of two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament consists of (39) books documenting the accounts of biblical history from the creation of the world in Genesis to the writings and prophecies of the prophet Malachi.
