Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17

Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.

Deuteronomy 27:1 – 27:26

  1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
  2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:
  3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
  4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
  5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon them.
  6 Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord thy God:
  7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God.
  8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
  9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God.
  10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
  11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
  12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
  13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
  14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
  15 Cursed [be] the man that maketh [any] graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth [it] in [a] secret [place]. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
  16 Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  17 Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbour’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  18 Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  19 Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  20 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  21 Cursed [be] he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  22 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  23 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  24 Cursed [be] he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  25 Cursed [be] he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
  26 Cursed [be] he that confirmeth not [all] the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
