not adopting the unholy and unrighteous way of the world.

CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP

ownership of the world. He has appointed us to serve as Managers,
Administrators over portions of his possessions and this are the
beginning of Christian Stewardship.

THE LAST THINGS
We believe there shall be a resurrection of the death both just
and unjust. And also in the second coming of Christ, which is, the
great hope of the church and grand climax of the climax.
