Mission Statement
Our mission is to witness the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to minister to the residents of Mesquite and surrounding areas, as well as our many visitors. We desire to reach out to those in need and to open our doors as a place for worship and spiritual growth for all people.

Our Purpose
Christ himself sets the purpose for his Church in Matthew 28:19-20: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."

As Christians we seek to faithfully worship Christ our Lord and Savior and witness the truth of his salvation for us to all people. We invite you to join us in worship and fellowship.

We Believe and Teach
  1. The Triune God - One God in 3 Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

  2. The universal distinction between the Law and the Gospel:
    The Law is what man must do for God
    Man cannot keep the Law because he is sinful by nature and in thought, word and deed.
    Man cannot save himself by works of the Law. (Romans 3:23)
    The Law condemns man because of sin.

    The Gospel is what God does for man.
    The Gospel is the Good News of the free gift of salvation earned for man by the righteousness of Jesus Christ, and his payment for our sins by his death on the Cross.

    All non-Christian religions teach salvation by works, and most Christian denominations confuse the use of the Law and Gospel.

  3. Salvation offered to all by:
    GRACE alone - John 3:16
    FAITH alone - Ephesians 2:8-9
    SCRIPTURE alone - John 8:31-32

  4. The threefold assurance of forgiveness offered to all believers through the Word, and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

    BAPTISM is Gospel, not Law
    It is the free gift of the washing of sins through the power of the water and the Word. (Acts 2:38-39)

    THE LORD'S SUPPER is Gospel, not Law
    Christ instituted the Lord's Supper for the assurance of the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:28).
    The Lord's Supper is not a mere fulfillment of another command that somehow works to our benefit.
    The Lord's Supper is not a mere reenactment of the Supper Christ shared with his disciples.
    The Lord's Supper is the Gospel promise of Jesus in which he shares his own body and blood given and shed at the Cross for our forgiveness, life and salvation.
