Our
Purpose
II Corinthians
5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself
by Jesus Christ, and hath given unto us the ministry of reconciliation;
This is
a believer's calling, to reconcile others back to God. This
ministry is twofold:
1. We reach
out to those who have been abused and discarded by religion
and legalism.
2. We reach
out to those who have heard little or nothing of God's Word.
We do this by teaching God's Word, researching God's Word, studying
God's Word, and fellowshipping with believers. We make our fellowships
available to those who are searching for an accurate knowledge
of the truth, and desire to increase the power of God in their
lives. We believe in tithing and freewill gifts, however we
send most of our money to other ministries, because all of our
staff is currently volunteer, and our expenses are quite small.
We have our fellowships in the home after the manner of the
first century believers who had fellowships in their homes and
households. Each believer is encouraged to grow from within
without compulsion. We fellowship with other groups that rightly
divide the Word of God and correctly apply it.
Statement of Beliefs
We believe
in one God who is: The Almighty, The Creator, The Father of
Jesus Christ, The Lord God who is one Lord. We believe that
God is light and in him is no darkness at all. We believe that
God is Love. We believe that God is eternal with no beginning
and no ending.
We believe that Jesus Christ is The Son of God, The Only Messiah,
and that he is The Way, The Truth, and The Life: and that no
man comes to God, but by Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus
Christ had a beginning, that he was created by God, born of
Mary, that he was crucified, and after 3 days and 3 nights that
God raised him from the dead. We believe that Jesus Christ ascended
into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. We believe
that Jesus Christ is coming back, and that we will be gathered
together with him. We believe that Jesus Christ came that we
might have a life which is more than abundant.
We believe that God is Holy Spirit, and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and truth. We believe in the gift
of holy spirit and the nine manifestations of holy spirit that
are available to all born again believers.
We believe that the Bible is the revealed word and will of God.
We believe that the original scriptures were authored by God,
were given by inspiration of God, they came not by the will
of man, but that they were given by revelation. We believe that
the word of God interprets itself and that there are simple
keys that help believers understand the Word. We believe the
Bible is to be rightly divided, and that it is not to be privately
interpreted. We believe that the Word of God should never be
watered down with the traditions and commandments of men.
