The Holy Ghost-inspired vision and purpose is that we impact the community around us by making disciplined followers of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. By spiritually impacting the home, we make disciples in the neighborhood. When we steadfastly reach the neighborhood, we bring about change in the community. When the community is changed, the area is changed. When the area is changed, we change the world by fulfilling the great commission of Jesus Christ.
The making of disciples is our God-given vision. We believe that this is accomplished through a holy and upright lifestyle before God. Living upright in holiness before a Holy God is a commandment of the Father. Through the power of the Holy Spirit delivered through the anointing ministering and teaching, man will be translated from a degraded sinner into the light and salt of the earth.
Disciplined through fasting, prayer, and meditation of the word of God is our lifestyle. We are the standard for the world! Let's occupy with Holy Ghost integrity until Jesus returns for a church without a spot or wrinkle.
The Scripture:
We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God.(2 Timothy 3:16) We understand this to mean that the whole Bible is inspired in that holy men of God" were moved by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21) to write the very words of Scripture. We believe that this divine inspiration extends equally and fully to all parts of Scripture as it appeared in the original manuscripts. We believe that the whole Bible in the originals is therefore without error.
God The Father:
God, as Father, reigns over all of His universe with providential care. He is all-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing, and all-wise. He is creator of all men but is Father, indeed, to those who have become children of God through Jesus Christ, who will deliver them into the Father's hands.
Genesis 1:1; 1 Chronicles 29:10; Jeremiah 10:10; Matthew 6:9; Acts 1:7; Romans 8:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:24; Ephesians 4:6
God The Son:
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. This redemption He accomplished by voluntarily giving Himself as a sinless, substitutionary sacrifice on the cross.
Luke 1:34-35, John 1:1, 2, 14, 18; Romans 3:24-26, 8:34
God The Holy Spirit:
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the Divine Person who convicts the world of sin (righteousness and judgment), that He brings new life to those who are spiritually dead; that He baptizes (or places) all believers into the one true Church, which is the Body of Christ; that He indwells them permanently, seals them unto the day of final redemption.
John 3:3-8, 14:16-17, 16:7-11; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 13; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18
Man:
Although man was created in the image of God, he fell into sin and is lost. This is true of all men, and except a man be born again by the Holy Spirit, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.
Genesis 1:26-27; John 3:3; Romans 3:10, 23
The Devil Satan:
We believe that Satan is a person, the author of sin, and the reason of all the fall of man, and is destined to the judgment of an eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
Matthew 4:1-3; Acts 5:3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:10
The Christian Walk
We believe that we are called with a holy calling to walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, and so to live in the power of the indwelling Spirit that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Romans 6:11-13, 8:2, 4, 12, 13; Galatians 5:16-23; Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 2:1-10; 1 Peter 1:14-16; 1 John 1:4-7; 3:5-9
The Great Commission
Until the return of Christ, it is the Christian's duty and privilege to seek the fulfillment of Christ's Great Commission and to minister in His name to a needy world. We are to be instruments of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit ministers redemption and reconciliation in the world.
Matthew 25: 31-46, 28:18-20
Support of the Ministry
We believe that the church (the local body) is supported through the paying of tithes and receiving of offerings. This is God's plan to sustain the ministry and bless the believers as they support the work of God.
Malachi 3:10-11; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
