Our Mission

 

To be the hands and feet of Jesus and fulfill the great commission through our mission-minded voyages. 

 

 

Our Beliefs 

 

THE BIBLE - The Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.  

(2 Tim. 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; Matt. 5:18; John 16:12,13)

 

THE TRINITY - One eternal God is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.  

(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; James 2:19)

 

THE FATHER - God is great: He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.

(Exodus 3:14; Numbers 23:19; Leviticus 11:44-45; 19:2; Psalm 11:4-6; Malachi 3:6; John 3:16; 4:24; 5:26; 14:1; Acts 17:28; Romans 3:3-4)

 

THE SON - Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.

(Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17; Luke 1:35; Acts 1:9; 2:22-24; Romans 1:3-4; 1 John 2:1–2)

 

THE HOLY SPIRIT - The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.

(John 16:7-14; Romans 8:9-11; 2 Corinthians 3:6)

 

SALVATION - The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation is a gift from God brought by grace and received by personal faith in Jesus Christ. It cannot be earned through our own efforts.  

(Ephesians 1:7, 2:8–10; John 1:12; 1 Peter 1:18–19; Romans 6:23; John 14:6)

 

BAPTISM - Baptism is not required for a person to be saved. But part of following Jesus is to follow His example and to be baptized (by immersion, as the Bible consistently indicates) as a testimony to the salvation we have already received.

(Matthew 3:15; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:36; Acts 16:29-34; John 3:23)

 

THE CHURCH - The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ. We recognize believer’s baptism and the Lord’s supper as scriptural means of testimony for the church.

(Ephesians 1:22-23; 5:25-27; 1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Acts 2:41-47; 14:23; 16:5; 14:27; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:41; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

 

JESUS IS COMING BACK - The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.

(Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7-8; 22:7,12)
