WHAT IS OUR MISSION AND WHAT WE BELIEVE
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. To organize a close fellowship of ministers and churches of like
precious faith, free from political power or monetary advantages on
the part of any person. We are totally dedicated to win the lost to
Christ, to encourage hearts of believers, to administer to the needs of
any who are distressed. To strive to be one, that we may carry out
the great commission which Jesus gave us. We are united to forward
the Gospel in every conceivable way by building churches, schools,
nursing homes, developing camps, establishing a foreign and home
missionary department with definite goals.


2. To ordain and license ministers to the work of the Gospel as
evangelists, pastors and missionaries; to send them forth to fulfill
their duties.

  • It is our vision to have a place where the hurting, depressed, frustrated and confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance, and encouragement. It is our vision to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the surrounding communities and the world.
  • It is our vision to develop spiritual maturity in the lives of people through Bible studies, seminars, retreats, and camp meetings.
  • It is our vision to equip the believer for ministry by helping them discover and implement the gifts and talents that God has given them.
  • It is our vision to send out hundreds of career missionaries and church workers into all the world to spread the gospel. We want to send our members on short-term mission projects to every continent. We want to start satellite churches, reaching out to our neighboring communites and the world.
  • It is our vision to build a Worship and Prayer Centers across the world. It is our vision for these facilities to be a haven where every person can receive spiritual, emotional, physical, and social healing.
  • It is our vision to help the hungry and broken hearted, by providing a place to stay and food for the body, and healing love for the broken heart.
 

What we believe

1. The Holy Scriptures. We believe the Word of God is the only guide to happiness in this life and for the life to come, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness. II Timothy 3:16-17. We also believe that all Scripture was inspired of God, that it was divinely given by God to man who gave it to us. Men wrote not of their own will, but as they were moved upon by the Spirit of God. II Peter 1:21.
 

2. The Trinity. We believe that there are three persons in the Godhead; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and these three are one in unity, in purpose, and in love. They cannot be separate in worship for they are one in the Godhead. I John 5:7, Matthew 28:19 & John 14:16, 26.

 Doctrine Concerning Man

 1. Repentance. We believe that repentance is a Godly sorrow for sin and includes conviction of sin, hatred of sin, forsaking sin and turning to God. II Corinthians 7:10.

2. Salvation. We believe that except man be born again, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven, that new birth is a change of heart expressed in life, wrought by the spirit of God in regenerative power, so that we become creatures in Christ. John 3:5.

3. Water Baptism. We believe that water baptism is a type of death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By our submitting to it, we identify ourselves with His death, His burial, and His resurrection. It is not a saving ordinance but is an outward symbol of an inward grace; repentance and faith on the part of the individual being the condition to receive baptism. Our Lord commanded His disciples to each all nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. We believe the above formula to be the one to be administered when baptizing. Matthew 28:19. Baptism, (Greek, baptize, to immerse) should be observed by all who have truly repented and believe in Christ as their Savior. Mark 16:16.
Church's ministry is one of deliverance and this is definitely a part of that ministry. Divine Healing is wrought by the Spirit of God as the administrator of the Church when we come believing. Mark 16:18, Matthew 10 and James 5:14-16.


5. Baptism In The Holy Spirit. We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. We believe that all believers should seek to know more about the Lord in His fullness and power. Jesus told us that "when the Holy Ghost is come upon you, ye shall receive power to be witnesses unto me, "therefore, we need the infilling of His Spirit in our lives to have the power of witness for Him. The Holy Spirit is also the comforter in the heart of the believer. He is also the one who sanctifies our lives that we might be used by our Master. By progressive and continuous process in our lives, He leads us form glory to glory until ultimately we stand by His side on a glorified body. This still being the Holy Ghost dispensation, the believer has every reason to expect His coming into their lives as in the early church. We do believe in the supernatural, physical manifestation of speaking with other tongues. Acts 2:4, 10:44-46 and 19:6. We believe that the speaking in tongues is the initial evidence that one has received the gift of the Holy Ghost.

6. Gifts Of The Spirit. We believe the Holy Spirit gives His gifts unto each as He will. We believe that the Gifts of the Spirit that were manifested in the early Church are for the Church today and that they should be sought by all believers. This still being the Dispensation of the Holy Spirit. I Corinthians 12:8-10 and 14:1.

7. Second Coming Of Christ. We believe Jesus Christ is coming again to receive unto Himself His purchased own. It is mentioned many times in the Scriptures. We believe that His coming will be a literal, bodily, visible return. We should seek to live and work in view of His soon coming. Matthew 24, John 14:3, Acts 1:11 and I Thessalonians 4:14-19.

8. The Lord's Supper. We believe that the believers in Christ should partake of this sacrament in remembrance of the finished work of Calvary until He comes again. We do not hold closed communion, but it is open to all believers in Christ who might be in our midst, whether a member of our Church or not. Each member should examine his own heart as to whether he is doing it in remembrance of the Lord's death or just a custom. It is a time of fellowshipping of the Church as the one Body of Christ. I Corinthians 11:28-30.

9. Heaven. We believe in heaven, a literal place that Jesus has gone to prepare for us. It is the dwelling place of God. John 14:2.

10. Hell. We believe that all who refuse God's plan of salvation will be eternally lost and will go to hell where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched. This place will ultimately be cast into the lake of fire with the devil and his angels. Mark 9:42-48 and Revelation 21:14-15.

11. Judgment. We believe that everyone must meet God in Judgement some time. We believe that there are different judgments.

(1) At Calvary when one accepts the plan of salvation for himself, he has had his sins judged in Christ's atoning work. John 5:24, I John 1:9 and 2:1

(2) Self-judgment should be carried out by each believer. We should judge our acts and works in light of God's Word. I Corinthians 11:31-32.

(3) Judgment Seat of Christ. We believe that all believers will appear in heavenlies before the Judgment Seat of Christ to give an account of the deeds done in the body and to receive their rewards for faithful service. Romans 14:10, I Corinthians 3:10-15 and II Corinthians 5:10.

(4) Judgment of the Nations. We believed that God will judge the nations at Armageddon for their treatment of the brethren, "the Jews." The nations who have been faithful to them will be retained as sheep nations and the nations that have done despite to them will be cast out as goat nations. Matthew 25:31-46.

(5) Judgment of Wicked Dead. We believe that all the wicked dead will stand before God to be judged also for the extent of their wickedness, before receiving their position in the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15.

12. Resurrection. We believe in the resurrection form the dead and that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust, that they will be raised separately; the just first unto a resurrection of the life and the unjust to a resurrection of damnation. The resurrection will not be together, but will be separated by approximately a period of
one thousand years. We believe that the resurrected saints who are blessed and have apart in the first resurrection will be raised with glorified bodies, like unto that which our blessed Lord was raised. Daniel 12:2, John 5:28-29 and Acts 24:15.

13. Adultery And Homosexuality. Due to the apparent lowering of standards and the permissiveness of society in general, we re-affirm our commitment to the scriptures opposition to extra marital sex and homosexuality. Matthew 5:27, I Corinthians 6:9-10, Galatians 5:19-21 and I Timothy 1:9-10.
