Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be God’s Holy Word in its entirety and inspired in every part by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).

We believe that man was created in the image of God, holy and innocent; that of his own choice, he sinned and as result, brought death upon all humanity (Romans 3:23, 5:12, and 6:23).  Those who are not saved from sin are eternally separated from God (John 3:18).

We believe that Jesus Christ is God, born of a virgin.  That He gave His life on the cross where He, who knew no sin, was made sin for us.  Also, that He was buried and arose from the dead, afterward He ascended into heaven, from whence He will come again (John 5:39; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 1:9-11).

We believe that we are saved by grace through faith, apart from works, that all sinners who repent and personally accept the finished work of Christ on the cross become children of God.  That they are new creatures in Christ and have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:8,9; John 1:12; 2 Corinthians 5:17; John 14:17).

We believe that Jesus Christ is coming again for His church, to establish His kingdom on earth, to judge the wicked and the lost, cast death and hell into the Lake of Fire and dwell with the saints for ever and ever (John 14:3; Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Revelation 20:6; 20:14,15; 22:1-5)

We believe that through preaching, teaching and ministering the Word of God, SNHRM must use all of its resources and activities to bring men, women, and children under the power of the Gospel.  That these individuals may have victory over sin and come into fellowship with God and live a Spirit-filled, fruitful life in Christ.

Mission

We exist to share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as provide shelter, food, and clothing to the poor and needy in obedience to Him.
