Testimonials
Mark taught us a method of reaching out to people which was far simpler, yet infinitely more effective than any other I had learned before.
Frontline Ministry Leader
Mark Opseth exceeded my expectations for the two hour seminar.
Associate Pastor
I appreciate you and your ministry to me and my wife and to our church. I would have to say you are a ‘God-send’ or perhaps an angel, in a way, for God to bring us together at this time.
Senior Pastor
Mark has a unique ministry and calling. His sensitive and humble style makes him a joy to work with and his vision to help those in ministry is a special niche in ministry.

What We Believe
We believe there is one God (Deut 6:4; Mk 12:29; 2 Sam 7:22, Is 43:10) who has no beginning nor end (Rev 1:8), consisting of three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Mt 3:16-17).
We believe that Jesus is God in human flesh, who did not cease to be God when He entered this world, and who did not cease to be human when He was raised from the dead and ascended into heaven (Phil 2:5-11; Col 1:19). We believe that Jesus will return for His bride, the Church (Jn 14:1-6).
We believe that apart from Christ, we are dead in our sin. We are in need of the work of the Holy Spirit to bring us under conviction of sin (Jn 16:8), lead us to the saving knowledge of Jesus (Jn 16:33), give us life (Rom 8:11; 1 Pet 3:18), empower us to live for and be witnesses for Christ (Acts 1:8) and to bestow upon us gifts to be used for the building up of the Body (1 Cor 12:7; Eph 4:11-12).
We believe that all scripture is “God breathed’ (2 Tim 3:16) and established through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (2 Pet 1:21). We believe the Bible is without error (2 Sam 22:31) and completely trustworthy (Ps 119:412); scripture is our only source of truth for living out our faith in Jesus, correcting us when we wander into deceptive philosophies (2 Tim 3:16-17).
We believe that just as Christ’s death has brought about victory over sin, Christ’s resurrection has brought about victory over the grave (1 Cor 15:55-57), giving those who trust in Jesus the assurance of eternal life (Jn 11: 25-26; 1 Jn 5:13).
