OUR PURPOSE
In order to glorify God and using the Bible as our guide:
Our purpose is to reach new people and help them become obedient followers of Jesus Christ who in turn help others to become obedient followers of Jesus Christ.
OUR BELIEF We BELIEVE in one God, Creator of all, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of God, He is our High Priest and Advocate. We BELIEVE that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Christ, convicting men, regenerating the believing sinner, indwelling, guiding, and empowering the believer for Godly living and service.

ANGELS  by Bob Buckler
Some years ago when I was active in the service aspect of my business I had the task of replacing an air-conditioning compressor on the  roof of the Free Clinic, in downtown San Pedro. Normally this is a one-man job, if all goes well, but this was not to be the case this day. It was early morning, the traffic was light so I was  able to park next to the building where I could set up my ladder to the roof. I extended it eighteen feet and set it securely against the building, making sure the feet were firmly positioned on the sidewalk. All was going well. Very little foot traffic. Now to get the compressor to the roof. It comes packaged in a carton for protection and ease of handling. The
way I had chosen to get this on the roof was to  put it on my shoulder, grabbing it firmly with one arm halfway around the carton leaving the other hand to grasp the rungs of the ladder to pull me upwards. The compressor is not firmly packed in the carton and tends to move around but I found if you tuck it in between your neck and shoulder it felt secure. The weight is fairly substantial but once I got it on my shoulder and tucked away I was ready to commence the balancing act upward to the roof. About halfway up I realized all was not right. The compressor had shifted its position in the carton and I was gradually losing control. I soon came to the conclusion that if I didn't let
go of the compressor it would pull me crashing to the sidewalk. With that choice at hand I suppose the sensible thing to do would be to drop the compressor, however, without giving it a thought, I started talking to God. God is a great companion and I try to keep in touch with him as one would a good friend. “I’ve got a problem here,” I uttered with a surprised sense of calmness. “I need your help.” No sooner had I pleaded my case then a man appeared at the foot of my ladder along side of me and together we were able to steady the load and gradually work our way down to safety. At this point I was somewhat exhausted from the experience and before I could regain my composure the man had disappeared. I was disappointed as I felt I owed this person a deep sense of gratitude for preventing a serious accident. As I have had time to reflect on this incident I am convinced that God responded to my plea by sending an angel to protect me and prevent a disaster. Was it because he values compressors and could not bear to see it destroyed. I think not. I prefer to believe that as he said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” It was his way of assuring me that he would always be there in my time of need.
