From Pastor Scott

welcome... we have a seat saved for you...

It’s true; we’ve got a seat saved for you!  But we have more than that. We have a place for you in our church family.  A place to heal, a place to grow, a place to serve, and place to minister to others. Our vision at LWFC is to “Live the Gospel; Preach the Gospel.”

That means our desire is to see you enjoying all the benefits of salvation, walking in the path of good works God has planned (Ephesians 2:10), and sharing that joy and message with a world that needs to hear it. Beth and I, and all our church family, would love to meet you, so join us on a Sunday morning or a Wednesday night.  We are already praying for you!

What We Believe...

  • We believe in one God ~ Father, Son and Holy Spirit ~ Creator of all things.
  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man.
  • We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
  • We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
  • We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness, purity of heart and life.
  • We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the Redemption.
  • We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit.  We believe that all of these are available to believers.
  • We believe in the Christian’s hope ~ the soon-coming, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
