What are we about..
Then Jesus came to them and said “ All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go into all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20
WHO WE ARE
WHO…We are church planters and U.S. missionaries with the Assemblies of God.
WHAT…God has called us to empowering, encouraging, and equipping people of all nations, tribes, and tongues to go into all the earth and proclaim the good news! Empowering them with the word of God, encouraging them to use their gifts, and equipping them to GO into all the world and spread the love of Jesus Christ!
WHEN…The time is now! We believe the time of Jesus’ return is imminent and whatever we are going to do for God, we must do now!
WHERE…The most darkest, impoverished, and drug-infested urban cities of America. We will start with the ashes and rubble of the cities!
WHY…We have a mandate from Heaven - Isaiah 58, Isaiah 61, Mark 16, Matthew 25, Acts 1:8, Luke 14:23
HOW…We will seek to walk in true apostolic anointing!
WHAT WE BELIEVE
WE BELIEVE…The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
WE BELIEVE…There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
WE BELIEVE…In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son, Jesus was both human and divine.
WE BELIEVE…though originally good, Man willingly fell into sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
WE BELIEVE…Every person can have restored fellowship with God through salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE…and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
WE BELIEVE…the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE… The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
WE BELIEVE…Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
WE BELIEVE…The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son, Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE…A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him, with other believers, to build up, or edify the body of believers–the Church, and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.
WE BELIEVE…Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE…in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time, all believers who have died will rise from their graves, and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
WE BELIEVE…in The Millennial Reign of Christ, when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming, and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel, and the establishment of universal peace.
WE BELIEVE…A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
WE BELIEVE…and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. And so shall we forever be with the Lord.
