WHO WE ARE
Our Vision-the big goals
Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, men women and children will experience Spiritual regeneration, resulting in personal, community and national transformation.
What we believe
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21
There is one true and living God revealed in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7
Man was created in the image of God, but as a result of sin, is lost and powerless to save himself. Sin is cleansed only through personal repentance and faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God's free gift to man. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God's unearned favor through faith. By admitting we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God. Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5 Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24
The Lord Jesus Christ is eternal deity and is the virgin-born Son of God, the express image of the Father and the firstborn among many brethren. Jesus Christ died upon a cross to bear mankind’s afflictions and punishment for sin, who arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father as mediator and High Priest, and who will literally return to earth in power and glory.
Personal salvation is the result of regeneration by the Holy Spirit who baptizes the believer into the body of Christ. Believers are to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. There is a moving and working of the Spirit in lives in these last days. Acts 2:4, Joel 2:28-32
God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God's people (the Church) and proof of God's existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10
We believe in Biblical equality for all according to Gal. 3:28 (no slave or free, no Jew or Gentile, no male or female)
Sanctification is the ongoing process of allowing Christ's likeness and image to be developed in us as we surrender our lives to Christ and present ourselves a living sacrifice unto Him. Romans 6:19; Galatians 5:22-25
Jesus Christ will personally return to this earth and establish His kingdom on earth.
The Mission-how we'll achieve the goals
To develop Christ-centered projects and programs that promote and establish Biblical principles & practices of stewardship that will bring about a wholistic transformation in individuals who will effectively renovate and revitalize their communities, bringing about sustainable platforms of community growth & continuity.
