Our Mission
We preach Christ crucified for sinners.
We preach judgement for all under the Law.
We preach justification by grace through faith.
We preach salvation for all who believe and repent.
We preach forgiveness for the worst of sinners through the merits of Christ Jesus.
We preach the real presence of Christ in the bread and wine consecrated and received in the Lord's Supper.
We believe God desires all to be saved, but that some, sadly, will stay in their sin, and be lost.
