Who we are.
We are a church that believes in The LORD JESUS CHRIST
That Jesus is the SON of GOD and that he came here to earth born of the Virgin Mary,
Was baptized by John the Baptist in the River Jordan , and took onto his self the sins of the world past, present and future, and then died and shed his blood on the cross to redeem us from Sin.
That He was raised from the dead after three days and that before returning to His Father in Heaven, He visited and spoke to many cultures, in many nations.
We believe that anyone that accepts what the Lord did for them and asks Him to forgive them,That they will be forgiven by him and enter into the Kingdom Of God.

In the liturgy references to the Trinity are in the traditional Catholic format.
