why WE eXIST

Go, and make disciples. - Jesus 

Gospel 

(Good News)

Jesus died so we can live.

We want you to know Jesus Christ and to be saved.

The Bible teaches us that we are eternally separated from God because of our sin. The good news is that Jesus Christ, who is God, became a man to pay the price of our sin - his death. Jesus proved himself to be God by resurrecting from the dead. All those who accept Jesus as Lord and savior are forgiven from their sin and will receive eternal life in Heaven. Jesus expects each of us to continue his ministry by joining and serving a church community. As Christians, Jesus commands us to purpose ourselves to loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love others as we love ourselves.

The Bible says we are saved by grace through faith.
- Ephesians 2:8-9

We use the acronym, "A.R.T.S.", to help people to receive Jesus Christ - Accept, Repent, Transform, Serve.

The Process of Salvation

Accept Jesus Christ.
- John 1:12; Romans 10:9-10

Repent of sin.
-Acts 3:19; Luke 13:3

If you believe Jesus Christ is God and what the Bible testifies about Him, and repent of your sin, you are saved.

The Evidence of Salvation

Transform to be like Jesus Christ.
- 1 John 2:6; Matthew 16:24

Serve God, the church, and others.
-Matthew 22:37-40; Matthew 28:16-20

If you are saved, the evidence of your salvation will be manifested as you become like Jesus Christ, as defined by the Bible's expectations.

If you make a decision to make Jesus Christ your God, or if you would like help in the process, text 562-418-4664, and we will guide you in what to do next.

Testimony

We share our stories.

Our testimony is, "God has a story for our  lives."

We want to empower you to share yours.

A testimony is a story of how someone received Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. When we share our testimonies, we communicate who we were before knowing Jesus, and who we are becoming as followers of Jesus.

Vision

We learn and live the Bible.

Our vision is to learn and live God's word, while mobilizing Christians in ministry, and being a church the unchurched love to attend.

We want you to join God's work..

God made you for more and has a purpose for your life. He made you to join his work in leading others to him to change their eternal destinations, and to grow his church.

Mission

We fight lies with God's love.

Our mission is to invite everyone to join us in being equipped to fight lies that steal, kill, and destroy with the truth and love of Jesus Christ.

We want you to live in truth and love.

The Bible teaches that, due to our sin, the devil has been given dominion as the ruler of our world. He is a liar whose goal is to deceive as many people as he can away from Jesus Christ. As such, our church overcomes spiritual warfare by training our people to distinguish truth from lies while speaking the truth in love.
