Other
Pertinent Information
I am committed
to the uncompromising truth of the Gospel, the historic evangelical doctrines of the
faith, and fulfilling the Great Commission. I believe the Bible is Gods inspired,
inerrant and infallible Word. It is without error and complete. I am conservative in my
theology, yet creative in my methods to reach the lost. I believe that prayer is the
foundation for all other aspects of church life. Prayer must precede, under gird,
accompany, and saturate everything the church does if we ever hope to experience God-sized
results and genuine revival.
