The main vision for Diamond Oaks Worship Center is to win souls for the Kingdom of Christ. It is very possible that you have come to this page literally "searching" for new life through the acceptance of Christ as your Lord and Savior. But, maybe there is confusion in your mind as to what you need to do and what scriptural guidance is available to help direct you through this process.

We have attempted to put together all the information that you will need to help you accept Christ into your life, by explaining the way of salvation, as explained in the Bible.

"Yes", you say, "that is what I want for my life, but what must I do"? It's as simple as three words---repent, believe and confess. These three actions are the keys to a new life, through Christ.

Please, don't leave without accepting Him into your life, because we are not promised tomorrow, or even another breath. Begin your new life with Christ, NOW!

Believing, by faith, that you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, we have included some spiritual guidance that will help you in your new walk with Him. Also, if we can assist you in any way, please contact us and we will respond as soon as possible.
