Beliefs

Mission Statement:

"To bring people to passionate faith in Jesus and build their lives by joyfully worshiping God, building Christ-like maturity, developing meaningful membership in His family, sharing Jesus' love with our world, and world-impacting ministry."

We Believe In...

The Bible as the Word of God; fully inspired and without error in the original mauscripts, written under and understandable by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it is the supreme authority by which all human condact, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried.

The triune God: God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the son, Jesus Christ, three persons separate and distinct, yet one in substance, purpose, and power within the unified God. This mysterious relationship is called "The Trinity".

The virgin birth, the historically verifiable life, the full humanity, the full Diety, the death by crucifixion, the burial, the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ and the imminent return of Jesus Christ for the church and the judgment of non-believers.

Eternal salvation as a gift of God to those who confess their sins, accept the sufficiency of Jesus' death and resurrection as the payment of our sins, and public profession of faith.

History

We are a local body of believers who are seeking to grow according to the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

We began in 1997 as a home Bible study group, and we have expanded our ministry to include corporate worship, age-graded Bible study and missions’ classes, and evangelism/outreach events. God has blessed us with the opportunity to join our hearts with a countless number of people in our past years of ministry and worship. Many of these people have moved or have been transferred, and are now serving in other churches throughout our nation. We have also been able to share the gospel with people in all areas of our city, especially in South Fargo .

From a simple beginning as a bible study in a pastor’s living room, we spent five years meeting at Centennial Elementary School in S. Fargo, three years in our location on 52nd Ave. S., and we now share space with Oak Grove Elementary School at 2720 32nd Ave. S. Each location has provided increasing opportunities for growth and ministry, and to that end, we recognize that this is not our final location.

Thank you for visiting with us today. We pray that the Word of God would speak richly to you.
Servants in Christ,
Prairie View Pastors
