what we believe

God dwells in Heaven, and through Jesus, we have access to God and a promise of an eternity in Heaven with Him as well as all the other children of God. Those that do not make Jesus the Lord of their life and believe in Him and do not have their names written in the book of life will be taken to eternal separation from God and thrown into the lake of fire.
