OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH
• We believe the Bible to be
inspired, the only infallible,
authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one
God, eternally existent in three
Persons; Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our
Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin
birth, in His sinless life, in His
miracles, in His vicarious and
atoning death through His
shed blood, in His bodily resur-
rection, in His ascension to
the right hand of the Father
and in His personal return in
power and glory.
• We believe that for the salva-
tion of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit
is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present min-
istry of the Holy Spirit, by
whose indwelling the Christian
is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection
of both the saved and the lost;
they that are saved unto the
resurrection of life and they
are lost unto the resurrection
of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual
unity of believers in our Lord
Jesus Christ.

SAM MASON
Sam Mason is a 1967 graduate of
Tarentum High School in West-
ern Pennsylvania. From there he
attended Zion Bible Institute and
received a ministerial diploma.
However, a diploma and es-
teemed education were not all he
got while at Zion. It is also the
place he met his wife Carol. The
two were married in 1970 and
since then grown their family to
three wonderful children, two
girls and one boy, as well as two
grandchildren and high hopes of
more.
Before taking the position here at
WTRM as announcer in 2006,
Sam pastored for nearly 12 years
