Outreaches & Pulpit Supply

We are committed first and foremost to a clear and consistent scriptural presentation of the biblical Gospel message. The Bible clearly teaches that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ and that biblical salvation is by God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone!

We are committed to the sound interpretation of Scripture (exegesis) based on the literal, historical, and grammatical method of interpretation. We do not subscribe to the popular "New Hermeneutics" of the 21st century that is craftier than ever at recasting and undermining biblical revelation and the person, work, and nature of Jesus Christ to appeal to the masses.

We stand with those who practice the tried-and-true traditional hermeneutics through which the historic Christian faith has been upheld, defended, and proclaimed for approximately 2000 years.

For these reasons, expositional teaching is our preferred delivery method when teaching through the scriptures. We also expose any doctrines that oppose or nullify the Gospel of Grace as found in Scripture, and we will stand against those that suppress and/or reject doctrinal truth for the sake of unbiblical ecumenical unity.

The biblical gospel is always presented graciously, and biblical terminology is clearly defined in context. Also included in our studies at times are references to various themes related to current global events, the growing ecumenical apostasy characteristic of the end times before Christ's literal bodily return to earth, and how Christians ought to respond and live at such a time as this.
