I would be lying if I said it was not a challege to build a church without compromising standards. Churches can lower their standards and begin to see numerical growth, but the problem is, that numerical growth lacks spiritual growth. That's why (even if the work is harder) we are not going to go the way of the world. It's sad to see some of the men I went to college with turning away from their standards and seeking the world's ways to bring people in.
I'm glad to say that we are a church that is not going to change our stand on the Bible, music, modesty, etc. We believe that the King James Bible is the inspired Word of God. We believe music should be God honoring and not resemble the world. We believe that when God's people come to church that they should wear modest, God honoring clothes. We are not going to be a church that teaches what I call a "Come as you are. Leave as you were" kind of philosophy. We want to see lives changed. That's why we stand by the fact that God is God, sin is sin and Jesus Christ still saves. In order to believe that, we have to preach all of God's Word. The only feel good message that is right is the one that makes God feel good.
We would like to invite you to come visit a church that believes in preaching the Word of God and not the philosophies of man. If you yearn to build a relationship with God, the creator of this world, then I want to extend an invitation to you to come and see us at one of our many services.
God bless you and have a wonderful day.
Pastor Richard Perkins
