Doctrinal Statement

Statement of Doctrine

 

1. We believe in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures. We believe that the Bible reveals God, the fall of man, the way of salvation and God's plan and purpose in the ages.

 

2. We believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

3. We believe in the deity, virgin birth and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

4. We believe that salvation is by grace, plus nothing and minus nothing. The conditions to salvation are repentance and faith.

5. We believe that men are justified by faith alone and are accounted righteous before God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Justification establishes an eternal relationship that can never be broken.

6. We believe in the visible, personal, and premillennial return of Jesus Christ.

7. We believe in the everlasting conscious blessedness of the saved and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.

Let me take this opportunity to recommend Mrs. Mina Oglesby and her ministry. God has greatly gifted her with a tremendous singing voice and great speaking ability. You will not find a better lady speaker or singer anywhere. Quality is the trademark of her ministry and service.

Most important,  Ed & Mina Oglesby are the most real and genuine Christians you will ever meet. In a day when performance takes precedence over substance, it is so refreshing to personally know these dear saints. Their manner of life is so profoundly Christ-like. They constantly minister and uplift those around them. Their ministry doesn’t cut off when they get home. The same Mina & Ed Oglesby that you know and love from conferences and meetings are the same people we know and love when they are here at home. They are true servants of our Lord Jesus Christ.

"I do not know of a Christian lady whom I can more highly recommend for cultivating righteous standards in the lives of godly Christian women than Mrs. Mina Oglesby. Mrs. Oglesby is unique, and her animated presentation of original Christ-glorifying music provides an impact that is enriching. This dear lady communicates insightful applications of the Word of God to the current needs of modern day Christian women. Mrs. Oglesby possesses a keen mind, a radiant personality, and a transparent love of our Savior. I highly recommend her to fundamental pastors who are seeking to build spiritual convictions among the ladies of their membership."

"Mina's life, music, and singing are Christ honoring, inspirational, and encouraging to God's people. There are no surprises or disappointments in her music, singing, or platform manners, to those that are concerned about contemporary trends of the day. She has been a delight and blessing to our church family for many years… a favorite to be sure. It is with confidence and without reservation that I recommend her music and singing, as well as her Bible teaching, to ladies.

 

To the Christian who possibly is searching for beautiful Christian music for their home or office, her many recordings offer wonderful background music that lifts the heart and honors Christ… music that will bless your soul!"

Mina and Ed Oglesby have served the Lord in our church ministering to our church for many years. God has used them to be a blessing at special events of Mother's Day, Mother/Daughter banquets, Ladies' meetings, church services and conferences.  Mina possesses a unique gift from the Lord of not only musical talent in voice, but a spirit-filled clarity, and spiritual communication of godly, sound conservative gospel music that stands in stark contrast to the trends of shallow and worldly music infiltrating much of the church today. Beyond this, Mina communicates it with a spirit and a special twinkle in her eye that touches the hearts of her listeners. Mina and Ed are true servants of the Lord that come to serve the local church and not to be served. I think you will find with me that your church will look forward to their coming and returning as being one of the highlights of the church calendar. I would recommend Ed and Mina without reservation to any pastor who desires to see God use the ministry of music in one's church that not only prepares the hearts of people for the preaching of God's Word but will impact the lives of people spiritually for the glory of God.
