THIS IS WHO WE ARE

AfterlightImage 15.JPG

Hosanna City Church exists to see people who are far from God come to know Him and make him known.

We are passionate about sharing Christ's love through our actions, caring for one another, and positively impacting our communities; in doing this, we are seeing lives being transformed daily.

As a Church, we are committed to helping you and others become fully devoted followers of Christ. We make a choice to love people in practical ways, leading them to Jesus so He can forgive their sin and restore their relationships with God and other people.

Essential Beliefs

  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the regular exposition of God’s Word in its entirety.

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

  3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His Sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his promised return in power and glory.

  4. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human nature, and that men are justified on the simple ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and that only by God’s grace and through faith are we saved.

  5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.

  6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: They that are saved unto the resurrection of life; and they that are lost unto destruction of eternal damnation.

  7. We believe legitimate sexual relations are exercised solely within marriage, in addition, We believe marriage has been ordained by God. Therefore, we recognize marriage as exclusively the legal union of one man and one woman in which such union is a lifetime commitment.

  8. We believe it is important to uphold Scriptural practices of the early church. Therefore, we hold to water baptism and the regular receiving of the Lord’s Supper.

PASTOR RANDY ADAMS - ASSISTANT PASTOR

“My name is Randy Adams. For the first 32 years of my life I was basically an atheist; then Jesus found me; He used my beautiful wife Rosalie in that process; together we have now served the Lord for more than 40 years. I love Jesus and try to obey Him daily.

In 2018 He called me to write books which He wants to use to make an impact in these end times. I love how wonderful He is in guiding my thoughts and my heart.

Rosalie and I love His Word and seek His will daily. We have a daughter and son-in-law who follow Jesus and 3 grandchildren we pray for daily.

We gained a heart for missions in 1998 and briefly went twice to Brazil; we also pastored for 12 years in Desert Hot Springs and still continue to meet in our house on Sunday evenings.
