What We Believe
God
We believe in one God who exists in 3 persons. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the Son of God who was born of a virgin, was wholly God, and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died in our place as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave, and ascended into Heaven.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that God, the Holy Spirit, is active in convincing unbelievers of their need for salvation and is the Comforter and Guide who lives in every believer.
The Bible
We believe in the Holy Scripture accepting fully the writings of the Old and New Testaments as the very word of God, inspired in all parts; the scriptures are infallible, inerrant, and authoritative rule for a life in faith.
Man
We believe that man is a special creation of God made in His image but that through the sin of the first man, Adam, mankind fell so that all men are sinners in need of salvation.
Salvation
We believe in salvation by grace through faith, that salvation is a free gift of God not by any virtue or works of man but received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; that all true believers possess the gift of eternal life, a perfect righteousness, sonship in the family of God and the divine guarantee that they shall never perish.
Assurance
We believe that every person who is truly saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Eternity
We believe that those persons who die in their sins without Christ will spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven through Christ will spend eternity in Heaven.
Baptism
We believe that water baptism is an act of obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation.
Church
We believe that a New Testament church is an organized body of born-again, baptized believers practicing Scriptural ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and actively engaged in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Larry and Marsha Bannister
For several years, my wife Marsha and I have had the amazing opportunity to serve on a short-term mission team to Honduras where we traveled to a different village from year to year. We have seen hundreds of people accept Jesus into their lives. God put a real love in our hearts for the Honduran people and a desire to build long lasting relationships with them in order to evangelize, disciple, strengthen, and encourage them. As we began to pray and seek God’s direction in how to accomplish and move forward in this, we realized that He had been preparing us all along to take this next step to full time ministry. As we sought out the guidance of the Holy Spirit things began to happen and doors began to open as we were accepted with "Hope for the World Incorporated" as their faith based missionaries to Honduras. We will now be in our 9th year living in the country full time and appreciate all your prayers and support for 2024.
