Richard Hartline — Founder, Engineer, Producer TV/Radio
Richard Hartline, Cindy's husband is the Engineer for all Radio, TV and Podcast Productions. Rich is a professional music arranger/producer of 40+ years, 20 of which was spent in the Christian Music Industry. Richard is most known for producing DC Talks first album along with many other renown Christian artists. Rich left the music industry in 1996 to manage and produce music for a group that the Hartline's formed called Praz(praise) Jam, of which their daughter Lauren was a vocalist and speaker. The Hartline's managed and discipled the members of the group for nine years and that's when both would admit that they learned what "real discipleship" was all about. Members of the group were counseled from time to time, disciplined in the "ways" of the Lord and required to study the Bible through a home-study College Curriculum through ICBT(International College Of Bible Theology at which time, SOH Bible and Arts Institute was founded. Praz Jam was more than a music group, they brought a message with every concert performance and was highly held accountable through their "spiritual parents" the Hartlines along with other Elders.
Together, Richard and Cindy were led to a more in-depth study of appologetics in the early part 2000, which lead them to an apologetic / worldview radio program - LOVE FOR THE TRUTH RADIO. The Hartlines are contenders of the faith and have a love for Biblical Truth and encourage others to do the same. Richard, known as "richsoundman" on a YouTube channel, has produced a personal sermon/video: "Is It Biblical To Name Names of False Teachers and Expose them?", which to date has had over 100K viewers and positive responses worldwide. Richard continues to produce sermons, music, spoken-word, and videos for the ministry. Access to their radio programs, podcasts and videos can be obtained on their website: Loveforthetruthradio.com.

Cindy's Mother "Minnie Mom" lived with the Hartlines for 16 years and passed in July of 2015 at the age of 89. She will be missed... as Minnie Mom kept the whole family in line, bless her heart. Needless to say the Hartlines are happily married and the entire family resides near Philadelphia, PA.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe that the Bible, composed of Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God and serves as the rule of faith and practice, being the authoritative witness to the truth of God embodied in Jesus Christ
We believe in one God eternally existing as Three Persons. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in God the Creator, author of all life and our salvation.
We believe that God created human beings, male and female, in the image of God as an expression of God's eternal love, to live in God's perfect will. As such, human beings are called to be faithful stewards of God's creation and to live in relations with God, each other, and the created world.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who acts as an agent and witness of Jesus Christ and the spirit of truth in accordance to the Written Word, who leads and guides the believer to transformation of the image of Christ through conversion, sanctification and unto full maturity as willed by the Creator.
We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is truly God and truly human.
We believe that he lived a fully human life as Jesus of Nazareth, who walked with us, ministered to us, and proclaimed the Reign of God.
Because human beings sinned and suffered the penalty of death, we further believe in the life and death of the Lord, for our sins, in the resurrection of his body, in his ascension to heaven, and in his personal and visible future return to the earth.
We believe that our salvation is received through faith by grace through Jesus Christ, the only and sufficient mediator between God and humanity.
We believe that Jesus Christ commanded us to be baptized and to partake of the Supper in his name.
We believe that baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, signifying redemption through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ together with the believer’s death to sin and resurrection to newness of life.
We believe that the Lord’s Supper is a commemoration of the Lord’s death until he returns.
We believe in all the spiritual gifts when used in accordance to the authority of the Written Word under a sound gospel.
We believe that the true Church is Jesus Christ’s Bride on earth, who is called to be an ambassador and witness who brings the good news of salvation to the world. The Church consists of believers, called by Jesus Christ to worship God, serve one another in a spirit of love and truth, and to proclaim God’s Reign—not only through word, but also through deeds of justice through the act of righteousness. As a witness to the Reign of God, the Church embodies God’s will to be one in diversity, to care for “the least of these,” and to proclaim hope. Therefore, the Church is a light unto the world at all times and in all places.
