"Where
there is no vision, the people perish."
Pv. 29:18a
OUR MISSION
1. To lead the generations into the fullness God
intended for us in this life and the life to come.
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to
kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.
Ephesians 3:
14 For this reason I kneel before the
Father,
15 from whom his whole family [a] in heaven and
on earth derives its name.
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may
strengthen you with power through his Spirit in
your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts
through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted
and established in love,
18 may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is
the love of Christ,
19 and to know this love that surpasses
knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure
of all the fullness of God.
2. To raise our children to be spiritual and civic
champions of their generation.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and
when he is old, he will not depart from it.
3. To restore the family to the biblical function
it was meant to serve.
Malachi 4:5
See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before
that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their
children, and the hearts of the children to
their fathers; or else I will come and strike
the land with a curse.
4. To be a house where our tone blends every
culture's expression of worship.
Psalm 150:6
Let every thing that hath breath praise the
LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
5. To populate heaven with people who presently are
blind to their need for a savior.
John 3:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but
have eternal life.
17 For God did not send
his Son into the world to condemn the world, but
to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in
him is not condemned, but whoever does not
believe stands condemned already because he has
not believed in the name of God's one and only
Son.

The Sovereignty
& Triune Nature of God
There is only one true God who is the eternal King,
Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly
holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed
Himself to be eternally self-existent and one being
in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit.
The
Authority of God's Word
The Bible
is the inspired and only infallible and
authoritative Word of God. Humankind was created in
the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we
willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for
which we were intended. Because of this, sickness,
death and judgment entered the world and now
creation experiences the effects and consequences of
sin.
The Divinity &
Humanity of Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and
only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin, Mary, and is God's Anointed One,
empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's
Kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins,
died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into
heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of
God the Father and in His people. He is "true God"
and "true man."
Salvation by Grace, through
Faith
We are saved by God's grace, through faith in the
person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be
restored to fellowship with God through repenting,
believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and
Lord. The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates,
justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of
God as His sons and daughters.
The Work of the Holy Spirit
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by
whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live
holy and minister super-naturally. The baptism of
the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is
poured out on believers that they might have power
to be witnesses.
The Efficacy of the Cross
The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the
cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy *
sin, lies, sickness and torment.
The Nature &
Work of the Church
The Church consists of all who put
their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the
ordinances of Baptism and Communion. The Church
exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and
further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of
the enemy, preaching and living the good news of
God's love, discipling the nations, baptizing and
teaching them to love and obey God.
Things to Come
In the ever increasing government of God and in the
Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return
of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride --
His church. Heaven and hell are real places. There
will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost,
the one to everlasting life and the other to
everlasting death.
1. Integrity to the Bible
We seek to teach
the Bible in a simple, understandable, relevant way
so that it can be applied to everyday life. The
power of the word is experienced when we obey or act
on the word, not in just “knowing” the word. Many
Christians are educated beyond their own obedience
We seek to speak about what the bible speaks about
and remain silent where the bible remains silent.
2. Prayer and the power of God.
Prayer is
God’s invitation for us to invade the impossible
in partnership with Him.
3. Team
Biblical
leadership is a Team of Elders and Deacons. The
bible speaks of the church being a building and a
body. Both have many parts functioning
together. Essential Christianity involves
interaction with the other members of the body of
Christ.
4. Evangelism
We are committed
to spreading the Good news of Jesus Christ in
foreign missions and through ministries in our own
culture.
6. Fellowship
We will walk and
grow in fellowship through the dynamics of
discipleship and being family. Because we are body,
soul and spirit, we are pressing into experiencing
fellowship on each of these levels.
7. Champion children
We are
committed to maximize the “training up” of
children in giving them our best in every way we
can.
8. Generational
The bible
teaches to join the generations in order to
complete Gods purpose in all our lives.
9. Multi-cultural
We are committed
to not limit our expression of worship to what is
common to one culture but rather express the dynamic
of the sounds of the nations in music, visuals, the
arts and location within the city.
10. Visual and Arts
Because the eye
is the light of the body, we are committed to
express praise to God through sight and sound.
11. Excellence
We will glorify
God by doing the best we can with what we’ve got.
12. God’s anointed common sense.
Being
supernatural is not necessarily being “religious”.
We seek to be both “super” (spiritual) and “natural”
(practical).
