Our Message


The Message Of Christ 

            That Jesus Christ is the Creator, Lord, King and Master of all the Earth.  Who as the “pattern son” was virgin born, lived a sinless life, and did many miraculous works and wonders.  As the Father’s representative He came and redeemed mankind through His death and resurrection.  In His defeat of sin, Satan, and death, the Father exalted Him as Lord and Head over all things.

            He ascended on high transferring His message, authority, and mission to the Church.  He has commissioned us to preach, teach, and live the Kingdom message and exert His dominion in the Earth.

 

 

The Full Gospel Of Jesus Christ
            That the full purchase of Jesus Christ for the believer through His atonement, resurrection and ascension provides and enables the believer:

      ·To experience salvation by faith.

      ·To know the baptism of the Spirit

      ·To experience the upward call into resurrection life.

By virtue of Jesus’ finished work we can be FREED, FILLED and FULFILLED.

 

 

The Trinity
            That God exists as a trinity of unity.  There is ONE God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

 

The Kingdom Of God

            The church of God is called to usher in the Kingdom of God and exercise Christ’s authority and dominion in the Earth.

 

 

The Fundamentals of Faith

            We believe the historic doctrines taught by the apostolic Church of Christ’s early disciples.  We give hearty agreement to the essential doctrines of Ephesians 4:4-6.

            “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all, and in you all.”

 

 

The Coming of Christ
            That Jesus Christ will return physically, bodily and visibly to the earth when the Church has put all enemies under it’s feet.  However, Jesus will first appear in a people, His body:

      ·Who walk like Him,

      ·Talk like Him,

      ·And do greater works

       (As found in John 14:12.)

 

The Church
            The Church is the body of Christ, the earthly extension of who He is, the “body” through whom He ministers to the world. 
The church is intended to the birthing and training center for those who will possess the Kingdom.

The ministry of the Church is to evangelize the world with the Gospel of Christ and His Kingdom.  We are called to "set captives free” and to subdue the Earth.  We are to exert His dominion and influence throughout the Earth.  We believe we are called as the Church to lead the world.

 

 

Salvation
            The salvation of the believer is effected by the atoning work of Jesus Christ.  Salvation as intended by God is to produce the deliverance and sanctification of the whole man: spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

 

 

The Message of Sonship

            All who are saved are indeed children of God.  Until now the children of God have shown themselves as servants and friends of God.  It is time now for the saints to follow on unto maturity and manifest as mature “Sons” of God.  All of creation is waiting for that manifestation (Romans 8:19-22).

 

 

The Revelation of Jesus Christ
            God has spoken infallibly and inerrantly through the Bible.  It is the sole and supreme authority in the things of God.  It is the “more sure word of prophecy.”

            God is speaking today.  There is a present revelation of Jesus Christ.  Even now the Spirit of God is illuminating mysteries that have been hidden and neglected by the Church.  That revelation is being communicated by the apostles and prophets.

            The Spirit is revealing the mysteries of the kingdom of God to a chosen and apprehended people.  He is shedding forth God’s light on the doctrine of sonship, brideship, and the higher order of Melchizedek priesthood.

            This message is not for everyone.  “He that hath ears, let him hear…”

 

 

The Three Feasts of God

            Three feasts were celebrated by the people of God in the Old Testament- The Feast of Unleavened Bread (PASSOVER), the Feast of Harvest (PENTECOST), and the Feast of the Ingathering (TABERNACLES)- Exodus 23:14-16. As the Scriptures assert, all of these Old Testament patterns were examples for us under the new covenant of Jesus Christ (1Corinithians 10:11).

            Two of the three feasts have been accepted and realized in the experience of the Church.  PASSOVER was fulfilled at Calvary, and we celebrate it’s REDEMPTION.  The Feast of Harvests or First-fruits was fulfilled on the Day of PENTECOST in Acts 2.  Believers now can know more than the indwelling of the Spirit, the BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT with power and light.

            The third feast, TABERNACLES, has not yet been realized by the people of God.  This is the feast of the great harvest, the feast of fulfillment, the day of the Church to enter into the rest of Christ.  We’ve known Christ as savior, baptizer, and healer, in this feast we shall know Him as a glorified and reigning King.  In this feast we shall enter into our inheritance and know His kingdom on Earth.

            We believe we’ve been called and apprehended to herald this great feast of glorification and completion.
