ABOUT US
In 2000, God brought my wonderful wife and I to Newnan, Georgia. That move was the beginning of our growing ministry. In the first ten years, we had the privilege to assist in both small and larger church settings. Learning how to equip a leadership team to see a prosperous and growing church.
In that time, we were blessed to be a part of the beginning stages of a church plant in Stockbridge, GA, pastored by Rev. Todd Harvel. We were also very blessed to be a part of Solid Rock Pentecostal Church pastored by Rev. Alonzo Terry.
Waiting on the perfect timing of God and with the instruction of our pastor, we began holding a Bible Study weekly in town. After six months, we held our first service in our living room. In four years, we went from our living room, to a hotel conference room, to a leased store front and now to our current location. God has richly blessed this ministry!
We look forward to seeing how God is going to restore the broken and bring a great revival to Newnan, GA!! We are humbled to be able to pastor in such a great city to the best people!!
God Bless,
Pastor & First Lady Ritter

OUR VALUES
We value the TRUTH of the Word of God above all other sources. LOVE is the motive for everything we do. PRAYER is the most important work on earth. FORGIVENESS is our path to the future and our escape from the past.
Have questions about out beliefs? We have the answers!
We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It gives a true history of the creation of the heavens, the earth, and of mankind. In it, we learn about salvation, how to have a relationship with God, and instructions on how to live our lives in harmony with Him through our words, attitudes, and lifestyle. (2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 11:3)
We believe that there is but one God. God is a Spirit and there is but one Spirit. There is but one God in essence and in person. In God there is a divine threefold manifestation and relationship made known as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ, is that God. (John 1:1; Colossians 2:9; Deuteronomy 6:4; John 4:24; Ephesians 4:4-6;)
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.) We Believe that without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin. It is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Since mankind was unable to redeem himself due to his fallen nature, Jesus Christ, because of His Holy and righteous nature, was the only one qualified to provide atonement. (Hebrews 9:22; Romans 8:1-2)
We Believe water baptism is an essential part of New Testament salvation and not as
some teach, “just an outward form of an inward cleansing.” Water baptism should be administered only by immersion and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:38; Acts 10:48; Acts 22:16)
We Believe that all true believers must be filled with the Holy Ghost, as promised by our Lord. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is the birth of the Spirit. (Luke 3:16; 1 Corinthians 12:13)
As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and joyfully worship God. We Believe the Christian life is one of sanctification. After being saved, we are commanded to “go and sin no more.” Our lives are to be set apart from sin, consecrated, and dedicated solely to God for His glory. We are commanded to live soberly, righteously, and Godly in this present world. ( 2 Thessalonians 2:13; John 17:17; Mark 12:28-31)
We teach that the saving Gospel is the good news of Jesus’s triumph over death (see I Corinthians 15:1-4) The Gospel is the foundation of truth. We obey the Word of God by personally identifying with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. We do this through repentance, water baptism in Jesus’ name, and the baptism of Christ’s Spirit as evidenced by speaking in tongues. (Acts 2:4,37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)
The only means of sinners being accepted by God is by repentance of their sins. Repentance is a change of heart, mind, and attitude toward sins. Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations. (John 20:31; Acts 2:38)
"Apostolic” simply means that we teach what the Apostles taught and continue in the Apostles’ mission to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
