What Sundays Are Like
|
New Times: 1st Service: 9:30am 2nd Service: 11:00am Location: 5041 Griffin Rd. Brooksville, FL 34601 |
What to Expect:
1. There will be plenty of parking. You will enter the church from Griffin Road and there will be spots available whether you get there early or late.
2. You can dress comfortably. People will be dressed however they feel most comfortable. Some dress up, many dress casually. We care more about you than what you wear.
3. You will be greeted with a smile. We call ourselves a family. So when you come you will be treated as such. We will also have coffee and snacks available before the service in our Fellowship Hall.
4. There will be a place for your children. Children under 5 are invited to check directly into our young childcare room before service. Ages 6 through 5th grade are invited to attend the first portion of the service with their parents then will be dismissed before the message so they can learn God’s Word with kids their own age.
5. We will sing, pray, and study God’s Word together. When the service starts, we will be led by a praise band in singing both uplifting hymns of the faith and modern songs with words projected on the front walls so you don’t feel left out. We will pray together, and we will have a time of teaching from God’s Word from one of the pastors about how God’s message relates to us today.
6. We will be done in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

What We Believe
(iF YOU WOULD LIKE THE FULL doctrinal statement PLEASE CONTACT THE CHURCH)
1. We believe that “All scripture is given by the inspiration of God.”
2. We believe that the godhead eternally exists in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe that man, originally created in the image and after the likeness of God, fell from his high and holy estate.
4. We believe that this spiritual death, or total corruption of human nature, has been transmitted to the entire race of man, the man Christ Jesus alone excepted.
5. We believe that, owing to this universal depravity and death in sin, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born again.
6. We believe that our redemption has been accomplished solely by the blood of our lord Jesus Christ, who was made to be sin, and made a curse for us, dying in our room and stead.
7. We believe that Christ, in the fullness of the blessings he has secured by His obedience unto death, is received by faith alone, and that the moment we trust in Him as our Savior we pass out of death into everlasting life.
8. We believe that it is the privilege not only of some, but of all who are born again by the Spirit through faith in Christ as revealed in the Scriptures, to be assured of their salvation from the very day they take Him to be their Savior.
9. We believe that all the Scriptures from first to last, center about our Lord Jesus Christ, in His person and work, in His first and second coming.
10. We believe that the church is composed of all who are united by the Holy Spirit to the risen and ascended Son of God.
11. We believe that the Holy spirit, not as an influence, but as a divine person.
12. We believe that we are called with a holy calling, to walk, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
13. We believe that the souls of those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation do at death immediately pass into His presence.
14. We believe that the world will not be converted during the present dispensation, but is fast ripening for judgment, while there will be a fearful apostasy in the professing Christian body.
15. We believe that the Lord Jesus instituted the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s supper.
16. We recognize the gift ministry of the Holy Spirit to the church, but reject the claim that any outward sign manifestation is essential to the baptism (into the body) or the filling (control) ministry of the Spirit.
