Lessons for the Journey
What We Believe
About God
We believe in one God eternally existing in one essence, yet there are three divine persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - the Trinity, equal in power but distinct in roles. We acknowledge the Creator-God as our heavenly Father, infinitely perfect and intimately acquainted with all our ways. As the first person of the Trinity, the Father is the source and ruler of all things and is fatherly in His relationship with creation in general and believers in particular.

About Jesus Christ
We believe that, according to the Father’s plan, the eternal Son took on human form thereby uniting undiminished deity with true humanity, fully God and fully man. Born of the virgin Mary, Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, was crucified for the sins of us all, was buried, after three days rose bodily from death and ascended into heaven and will in the same way return in glory.

About the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third member of the Godhead is currently at work in the world. He is the personal agent of the Father and the Son, sent from God to live inside all who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He teaches, comforts, and enables the believer, giving each diverse gifts, and empowering them for lives of service and personal holiness.

About the Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s message to mankind. God speaks to us in and through the Bible. We believe the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and written centuries ago by chosen men of God. The Bible is without error in its original manuscripts, is completely reliable as the final authority in all matters of doctrine and practice.

About Salvation
We believe the offer of salvation is God’s gift to all who receive it, completely apart from any works on the part of man. Those who accept this offer by faith in Jesus Christ become a new creation by God’s power. Because fallen humans are unable to save themselves, God, according to His sovereign mercy, acts to save those who come to Him by grace through faith in His Son. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to suffer the penalty of death in the place of condemned humanity. Through believing the good news that Christ died for one’s sins and then rose from the dead, and putting one’s faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, a person can be forgiven of all sin, declared righteous by God, reborn spiritually into new life and guaranteed eternal life with God.
Meet Our Teacher
Pastor David was born in Roanoke, Virginia. At the age of 15, he
surrendered to serve God in whatever capacity the Lord would choose
to use him. Having been active in music from the fourth grade, in
preparation for Christian Service, his first experience in college was as
a music major. While he did not obtain a degree in music, his early
vocational ministry experience generally took the form of serving as a
bi-vocational Minister of Music, or Minister of Music and Youth in various churches in North Carolina
and Virginia.
In the late 1990s, the Lord began gently calling David into pastoral ministry. As time progressed that
call became more emphatic, finally to the point that it could no longer be ignored. With that calling
in mind, he returned to school completing a M. Min. with an emphasis in theology and ultimately a
Ph. D. in Biblical Studies with a concentration on Cultural Hermeneutics. David’s main hobby is
photography, but he enjoys nothing better than sitting in a quiet place with his Bible and a good
commentary; and whenever possible, sharing the truths contained in God's word.
