Our goal is to provide education, counseling, college and career services, clothing and food drives, and special events by partnering with local churches, organizations, and businesses. This will enable us to fellowship and share the love of God with our Odenton/Severn communities.
To position ourselves to meet the needs of our community so they can reach their highest purpose in life. By doing so we are able to restore, encourage, and show the love of God through our acts of service and giving.
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 2 Corinthian 9:10
1) In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
2) In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
3) That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
4) That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
5) That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
6) In sanctification subsequent to the new birth through faith in the blood of Christ, through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
7) Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
8) In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
9) In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
10) In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
11) Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
12) In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
13) In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth for a thousand years.
14) In the bodily resurrection: eternal life for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.
