others like Jesus
All teaching and ministry of this Church is based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. Our Beliefs:
-We believe that God is the creator and sustainer of the universe and that His written Word (The Bible) is inerrant and infallible.
-We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who gave His life as the perfect sacrifice for our sins and that He was crucified, buried, and resurrected after three days.
-In John 14:6 Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
-In the Book of Acts, Christianity is referred to as “The Way”. The NLT renders Paul’s words in Acts 24:14 as, “But I admit that I follow the Way, which they call a cult. I worship the God of our ancestors, and I firmly believe the Jewish law and everything written in the prophets.”
-We, as a group of believers have come together and made it our ambition to follow “The Way” of Jesus Christ and to use the first century church of the New Testament as our model.
-The founding members have agreed that this body shall be known as The Way. Affiliations:
