..the marketing and entertainment culture in America has given birth to these churches.

Sound expository Bible teaching and real heart-felt worship have now been replaced with a marketed product--a consumer oriented Gospel.

Most of the Megachurches are preaching sound doctrine. That is why they have become megachurches.

If you want sound expository Bible teaching, this is the place for you.

Pastor David Rosales is simply the finest teacher of the Bible this side of a conservative evangelical seminary. And that's what is offered, on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday night. Systematic study of God's word. And nobody does it better.

The philosophy of the church is based on Ephesians 4:11-12. If you're looking to work out your problems, enhance your self-esteem, meed your future spouse, or any other touchy,feely, liberal, Dr. Feelgood agenda, STAY AWAY! This is not the place for you.

What this church does better than almost any other, is equip the believer for spiritual warfare. If you've been to Parris Island, SC or Fort Benning, GA you'll be able to relate. It is literally a boot camp for pastors. And it is predicated on the sobering realization that we're engaged in spiritual warfare, that the devil knows his time is short, that he is a defeated enemy, but can do a lot of damage on the way down.

The Grace of God lives in this church, and the power of His Spirit is poured out, the evidence of which is plain to see in the work of the Spirit in the believers who attend.

In addition, there are rigid standards of conduct, none of which are subject to negotiation. Adultery is not tolerated. Neither is divorce. So your marriage better be solid. If you're single, better plan on staying that way. You're there to serve God, not troll around for your next ex.

This church has changed my life. I went from being a nominal believer to someone who is genuinely committed to my faith. I struggle at times. And struggles are recognized as the inherent weakness of guilty man combined with satanic attacks to exploit those weakness. There is plenty of support among the body of Christ for believers so afflicted.

Pastor David has been powerfully annointed to teach God's Word. And it is evident in everything he does. Anyone who is serious about their faith is encouraged to attend. I'm sure it will mean as much to like-minded Christians -- not to mention those who hunger for God, but haven't found Him yet -- as it has for me.

Check it out, You'll never regret it.
