To assist in church planting, to equip leaders, and to strengthen existing local churches through leadership training and the help of short term missions teams from the US.

​

• Church Planting: 

  • In our first term we assisted in starting New Life Impact Baptist Church. The church is located in the province of San Jose.  LaMar served as youth pastor as Joanna served in other ministries such as Awana. 

  • In our second term, working with National Pastor Alex Torres we helped start another church, El Camino Baptist, located in Barva Heredia, where LaMar currently serves on the pastoral staff and Joanna leads the ladies ministry. 

  • In our third term, The Lord allowed for El Camino Baptist to start 2 more churches located in Calle Quiros and San Isidro, Heredia.  LaMar and Alex serve as co pastors in all three churches in Barva, Calle Quiros and San Isidro.​

  • In our fourth term, LaMar continues to co pastor 3 church plants and is also training other pastors in the area of church planting.  Just in the past few years we have seen God open 2 more new churches and strengthen many others though this ministry.

• Equipping and Training:

  • The Lord has opened many doors allowing LaMar to train church leaders/ planters in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras.  Our goal is to continue expanding this ministry throughout Central America and the Caribbean.​

  • We are currently The Timothy Initiative program based in West Palm beach Florida to see a church planting movement started in Central America.

The Bible

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

 

The Trinity

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 

Jesus Christ

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.

 

Salvation

We believe Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. We believe that salvation is found by realizing we are sinners with no hope of getting in to heaven other than placing our faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross.

 

Water Baptism

We believe water baptism is a symbol of the cleansing power of the blood of Christ and a testimony to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

The Local Church

The local church is the organization which God has started and chosen to carry out His work.  It is composed of saved, immersed (baptized) believers, who join together to carry out the Great Commission and the Great Commandment, and meet for edification, fellowship, prayer, worship, and instruction in the Word, and for observing the ordinances.
