Statement of Faith
We, Tribute Quartet, believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died sacrificially for the sins of mankind and rose again on the third day. Our nearly 20 year mission has been to help bring the lost to Christ and encourage His bride, the Church.
