    We are saved by grace through faith, but what does that faith entail?

    Before the Lord left this earth, He left us, His church, two rites, ordinances or sacraments.

In fact the two have caused more division among God’s people than any other ...read more

    Why the Church I want to share some staggering statistics about church. Since the year 2000, more than 4000 churches in America have closed the doors to their buildings each year. That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more
