Mission Statement
We are a supernatural church, composed of supernatural people, doing supernatural things, in a 5-star manner. We are workers together with Christ, building and discipling people of purpose, power, praise, and faith through fellowship. WE ARE A LIFE SHAPING, WORLD CHANGING, TRANSFORMATIONAL MACHINE building strong families and their finances, while reaching out to the unsaved, the untaught, and the un-churched. We are receiving an abundance of miracles, an abundance of wealth, and an abundance of souls in Jesus’ name. Amen.
The Church's Vision
- We are faith-filled, Spirit filled, big thinking, bet-the-farm risk takers.
We’ll never insult God with small thinking and safe living. We are all about “The Father Business”!
- The local church is the Light & hope of the world and we know we can accomplish anything, more together than apart.
We give up things we love for things we love even more.
It’s an honor to sacrifice for Christ.
- We will do anything short of sin to reach people who don’t know Christ.
To reach people no one is reaching, we’ll have to do things no one is doing.
- We will lead the way with irrational generosity.
We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.
- We will love hard, laugh hard, loud and often.
Nothing is more fun than God with people you love! We always bring our best, and laughter is like medicine!
- Excellence honors God and inspires people.
We are spiritual contributor’s not spiritual consumers.
- The church does not exist for us. We are the church and we exist for the World.
We will honor Christ and His church with integrity.
If we live with integrity, nothing else matters. If we don’t live with integrity, nothing else matters.
What We Believe
We stand united as a church, a community of believers anchored in the unwavering truth of the Bible as the divine Word of God. With utmost dedication, we impart the teachings of the Holy Bible, adhering faithfully to its principles, prophecies, and promises.
In our journey of faith, we embrace the profound belief in the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, an indivisible unity. We affirm God as the ultimate healer, acknowledging the transformative power found in the stripes of Jesus Christ, a healing touch accessible to all who hold steadfast in their belief.
Our commitment extends to being vessels filled with the Holy Spirit, marked by the unmistakable evidence of speaking in tongues. We exist not in isolation, but as messengers on a mission—to seek out and rescue the lost by proclaiming the life-changing Gospel.
Undeterred, we persist until the adversary is silenced, resolute in our pursuit of making the devil quit. Life, to us, is a gift to be enjoyed to the fullest, marked by laughter that echoes loudly and joy that overflows abundantly.
In the spirit of gratitude and abundance, we are tithers and we intentionally giving offerings, understanding that Jesus, in his humility, paved the way for us to embrace richness beyond measure, to the point of overflow.
We walk by faith, and not by our sight. We exhibit the faith that takes and never dishonor God with small thinking.
The Baptism
Jesus said, “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19.
Baptism symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and our own relationship to His victory over sin, death and the grave (Romans 6:35). The one being baptized is presenting himself as a dead person to be buried with Christ, saying, “I am finished with the old life. I want to live in the power of the Resurrected Life of Jesus. I will be loyal to the kingdom of God.” “Baptism means the ability to face God with a clear conscience, for there is in every true baptism the virtue of Christ’s rising from the dead.” (I Peter 3:21) We must be very careful not to conclude that baptism saves. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “By grace are you saved through faith.” We are not saved by church membership, faithful attendance, the Lord’s supper, or baptism, or all of these things put together. We entrust ourselves to Jesus Christ as our Savior and He alone has the power to save.
The Lord's Supper
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it, and gave it to them and said, take, eat, this is my body. And then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, This is my Blood of the new covenant which is shed for many. Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” (Mark 14:22-25).
What is the Lord’s Supper
There is a paradox here. The feast, as it was celebrated in the Bible, was always eaten with two simple elements, bread and the fruit of the vine. The Lord has chosen two common and ordinary elements to remind us whenever we eat them, of His sacrifice and love for us. While these elements become especially meaningful at the time of communion, they are also there to remind us of this love at every meal of the day. The paradox is, that though the elements are only natural food, the Lord has caused us to think of them as representing His Body and Blood. We, who are saved, who are covered by the Blood of the Lamb and who are part of the Body of Christ, are instructed at this time to judge ourselves rightly so that we will not be judged. (I Corinthians 11:31). Thus, we are provided a special time for repentance.
Why We Participate in the Lord’s Supper
The Lord Himself commanded us to do this! The Apostle Paul wrote, “For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread… (and) took the cup also saying. Do this in remembrance of Me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” (I Corinthians 11:23-26).
How should we come to the table? We should be examining our lives. We should not hesitate to set things right with our fellow believers and with the Lord.
Tithes & Offerings
This church and every aspect of the ministry is supported by the tithes (10% of income) and the free-will offerings of the partners, friends, and all those who attend our services. It is important that mature partners fulfill their personal responsibilities to God and the work of the ministry. Through tithing according to scriptures (Malachi 3:10) and giving free-will offerings, the maintenance, operating expenses, construction, utilities, employee compensation, missions, and other expenses of this ministry are covered. CD’s on “God’s Financial Plan” by Apostle Frederick K.C. Prices are available to all new partners to help you understand how this church is supported.
