    "As a pastor, it is great to have someone out there like Al who is genuine and truly cares for the hearts of the people he sees, and comes along side Pastors to minister and sincerely help people. There are so many counselors out there that finding the right ones to trust is not that easy. Al is one that I trust and I am not afraid to quickly refer him. He is a great help to our ministry."

Statement of Faith

We believe in the One Triune God who in love has revealed Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all things. He has spoken to us in the Bible.  We receive the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments as our final authority, the only infallible rule of faith and practice, accepting it as the Word of God.

Our sinful rebellion against God had separated us from Him, so God became a man in order to restore us to intimate friendship with Him through the Person of Jesus Christ.  He entered the world as a baby, conceived by a virgin, fully man yet, fully God. He lived a sinless life then offered Himself on the cross, dying as our substitute so that through the sacrifice of His blood, we might be set free from the just penalty of our sin and made right with God and experience a new spiritual birth. After His death He was buried, and on the third day rose again and ascended to heaven where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for us. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, he made the way for us to receive healing for our mind, body and emotions. Although we may not always see or experience healing, we continue pray in faith, believing that it is God’s desire for his children to be whole.

We believe that God poured out the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost in power giving birth to His new community, the Church, baptizing believers into the Body of Christ and releasing the gifts of the Spirit to them. In the Person of the Holy Spirit, Christ lives within His people, reproducing His holy character within us, empowering us to be His witnesses to the world, and equipping us with spiritual gifts to do the works of the Kingdom of God.  We believe that Christ will literally and bodily return to earth to claim His Bride, the one, true and universal church, and take her to Heaven to live and reign with Him throughout eternity.

We believe that we must respond to this great love that God has lavished on mankind by turning away from our sins, placing our faith fully in Jesus Christ.  By submitting to His authority in our lives we allow Him to change us more and more into the image of Christ. We experience a profound inner transformation called new birth, and we receive the gift of eternal life.  Those who refuse this great love are in danger of eternal judgment in a literal hell.
