We hold ourselves peculiar and distinctive. The scripture is our central authority securing values to be maintained when in danger of being obscured or lost.

Our Faith

Derived from the basic Christian doctrines, our faith is faith, which affirms that salvation from sin is obtained through the grace of God, not that it is earned by good works or given because of merit on the part of man. Our faith is set forth as such:

1. The Trinity: that God is three persons in one, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

2. The deity of Christ; that Jesus is God.

3. The personality of the Holy Spirit; that God the Spirit is a person, not an entity without personality.

4. The Bible is from God, completely accurate e and reliable, and therefore authoritative. We insist that the scripture is the Word of God written and that it is therefore infallible in its original autographs.

5. Miracles that are works of God which function as a word of God. Observable, extraordinary events and mighty acts; phenomenon effected by the direct operation God’s power; an arresting deviation from the ordinary sequences of nature; a deviation calculated to elicit faith-begetting awe; a divine in breaking which authenticates a revelational agent.

6. The substitutionary or vicarious suffering and death of Christ as atonement for the sins of His people.

7. The resurrection of Christ from the grave.

8. The ascension of Christ into heaven.

9. The personal and glorious coming again of Christ.

10. The resurrection and judgment of all men.

11. The reality of heaven and hell.

This is our faith set forth.

We walk by faith, not by sight. II Corinthians 5:7

A Brief History

In December of 1990 three families consisting of seven adults begin meeting for home Bible Study on Wednesday evening. We met for six months while praying about and planning to organize a local church ministry in Plano, TX.

In June of 1991 we held our first official Sunday morning worship service and begin our mission in the city of Plano to serve the community, city, this country and the world through the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ and through conducting an ongoing thorough search of the scripture, the Holy Bible, for the spiritual edification and equipping of those whom we could reach.

We also endeavored to develop and maintain an outreach and service to the community by helping people in need any way we could. And to develop and maintain a service to children whereby they could become students of the scripture and have Christian context in which to enjoy fun activities.

Since our inception we have grown from three families to over fifty families and have purchased property to facilitate our ministry and service to the community. It is our goal to become more effective in reaching more people with the gospel of Jesus Christ and with loving care and concern of God.
