Our Beliefs

  • We believe in the divine inspiration and infallibility of the Bible. We believe that the Bible is completely sufficient for our faith and life, being the absolute source for all truth. Because the Bible has been divinely inspired by God, it is absolute truth without admixture of error.
  • We believe there is one and only one the living and true God. He is the eternally existent Creator and Lord of this world. We believe that in the unity of the Godhead there are manifest in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection and harmoniously executing the great work of redemption.
  • We believe that man was created in a sinless state (after the image and likeness of God), but through his own voluntary transgression he was cast out from this blessed state and through him the sin nature has passed unto every generation. This is the reason that all men are born sinners unable to redeem themselves.
  • We believe that Jesus was conceived by God in a supernatural way and was born of Mary - a virgin. At His birth he remained God and yet became fully man.
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal and only begotten Son of God, who took on flesh, without setting aside His divinity. That he was crucified, buried and rose again on the third day, so that he could offer forgiveness of sin to any who would believe in Him, and to assure them of eternal life in heaven.
  • We believe that salvation is a gift of God, which we must receive. A sinner is justified only by God's grace, being born again through faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

Jeff was born in Philadelphia, the largest city in the state of Pennsylvania. From his youth he loved math and attended Drexel Unviersity where he graduated with a degree in Mathematics. He continued his education at the University of Wisconsin - Madison with a desire to work as a Software Engineer.

During this time he wanted to know more about God and began to read and to study the Bible. After one year he left the university and began working in a Christian bookstore. While working at the bookstore, he also began to serve in a local church. After a few years he became the pastor of a small church in rural Wisconsin. He served as the pastor of that church for 6 years. In October of 2012 he traveled to Bulgaria for the first time. During this time he saw the beauty of Bulgaria and this ignited a desire for him to return. In 2016 he arrived in Bulgaria and began to study the Bulgarian language and culture. Above all else, he has a desire to preach the Word of God to anyone who will listen.
