Our Mission is Rooted In Faith Scripture Salvation Healing Community
Our Beliefs
At the core of our faith lies a profound dedication to spreading the message of Jesus Christ and reflecting His love in our lives. Every belief we cherish is essential to our way of living, worshiping, and serving as a faith community. Let’s take a closer look at our fundamental beliefs:
- Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human. He lived, died, and rose again to offer redemption and hope to humanity. - The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a divine presence in our lives, actively guiding, comforting, and empowering us to live out our faith. - The Scriptures
We affirm that all Scripture is inspired by God. It serves as the ultimate authority and source of truth, offering guidance for our daily lives and spiritual journeys.
- Salvation for All
Everyone has fallen short of God’s glory and needs salvation, which is made possible through Jesus Christ. This gift of salvation is available to all who believe. - The Fullness of the Holy Spirit
God desires for every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit, allowing them to experience His presence and power for a transformed life. - Healing and Wholeness
Through the redemptive work of Christ, healing is accessible to all believers. We have faith in the power of prayer and in God’s ability to heal us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. - The Church
We are a community of believers in Jesus Christ, brought together by our common faith. The church is not merely a location; it represents a body of individuals who have embraced Christ as their Savior. - Resurrection and Eternal Life
We hold the belief in the physical resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous, with the assurance of eternal life for those who have embraced Christ. - The Return of Christ
We eagerly await the personal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ. His return is our hope, and we live in eager anticipation of His coming.
Why Pray?
The United States government – the most powerful government in the world has a Counter-terrorist department where counter-terrorism measures are carefully planned and mapped out to combat the menace of global terror. The government also maintains a War Room where strategies of war are birthed, developed, and nurtured to maturity. It also runs a highly sophisticated Department of Energy (DOE) whose mission is connected to national security. Today her officials still oversee laboratories that were once responsible for creating weapons of mass destruction. Lastly, the government has a Situation Room where they assess the current state of national security and determine what adjustments should be made accordingly.
But what have all of these got to do with prayer?
You have an arch-terrorist. His name is Satan. He is the god of this world ( 2 Cor.4:4) and has come to steal, to kill and to destroy (Jn 10:10). Doesn’t this accurately state the manifesto of the human terrorist? So Peter warns ” Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times for that enemy of yours the devil roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger] seeking someone to seize upon and devour” ( Amplified). “Seeking someone to seize upon and devour” presupposes that it is not everyone he can devour. He has to seek out the “devour-ables”. You can make yourself and yours un-devour-able and un-molest-able by fortifying yourself and all that is yours in prayer. You can literally build spiritual walls of fire around yourself and set up impenetrable spiritual roadblocks. You can create …” a highway of holiness …no lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up therein, it shall not be found there…”
