Being a place in Midland, Texas, where unbelieving, unchurched, and uninvolved people can learn about and experience a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ and where, through that relationship, all Christ-followers can find peace with God, love for one another, purpose in living and joy in life.

We believe these things:

About God:

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

(Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; II Corinthians 13:14)

About Man:

Man is made in the image of God. He is the supreme object of God's creation. Although man was created to enjoy a relationship with God, he is marred by a sinful nature which separates him from God. Man's disobedience toward God, called "sin" can be forgiven by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

(Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15)

About Eternity:

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God means eternal existence in a real place called Hell. To be eternally in union with God means eternal life in a real place called Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

(John 3:16; I John 2:25; 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15)

About Jesus Christ:

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

(Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13)

About Salvation:

Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's only offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life with God begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

(Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9;John 1:12; 14:6;Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1)

About Eternal Security:

Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation is begun and maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security.

(John 10:29; II Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10-14; I Peter 1:3-5)

About the Holy Spirit:

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian and gives power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.

(II Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18)

About the Bible:

The Bible is God's Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth and final authority for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.

(II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; II Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160; 12:6; Proverbs 30:5)
