Mission Statement

“HILARITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST”

The mission of this ministry is to use every written and spoken word to point people to Christ through His Word and by the power of his Spirit. To provide entertainment, not only for entertainment’s sake, but to communicate the real and lasting message of true and forever joy through the hope and help found in Jesus Christ.

STATEMENT OF FAITH:

I believe that surrender to Jesus Christ is the one and only way to have a right relationship with a holy God. I believe that there is one God, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I believe in the accuracy and infallibility of God’s truth, his holy Word. I believe that Word is the instruction book for life and contains his divine plan for salvation, the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross to pay the penalty for sin and to give all who surrender their lives to him a right relationship with him and an eternity in heaven. I believe that three days after his death on the cross, Jesus rose bodily from the dead, conquering sin and death once and for all and proving his power to save. I believe in the mission Jesus has given us all to go and share his message of salvation with a lost world.
