About HISplace

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and has been preserved as an instruction manual to obtain eternal life and for life on earth. In the beginning God created man in His image. However, due to Adam’s sin in the Garden of Eden, death (spirit, soul and body) was introduced into the human race. Satan, God’s enemy and a fallen angel, has been trying to destroy mankind since creation.

We believe God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die for the sins of every person. Jesus’ death resulted in defeat for Satan. Jesus Christ provided mankind a way to obtain access to God and live victoriously here on earth. After Jesus arose from the dead and ascended to heaven, the Holy Spirit was sent to be the believer’s Comforter and Guide. Only those who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior by grace through faith obtain the privilege of living an abundant life here on earth and have the promise of eternal life in heaven.

The Holy Spirit has given each believer specific gifts to be used to help and encourage people in the church, in the home and in the marketplace. Every believer is responsible to God to function in accordance with the particular gift or callings that have been entrusted to him or her.

We believe after physical death each person will be judged, believers for their obedience to God after salvation and unbelievers for not accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Believers will spend eternity in heaven with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Unbelievers will spend eternity in hell with the devil and the fallen angels.
