· Prayer moves the life
· Every believer is a minister and will be equipped for service
· Adults, youth and children participate in New Testament church life
· Growth and maturity are absolutely essential
· Everyone has a divinely ordained destiny and purpose
· Praise and worship should be an exchange between heaven and earth
· God still speaks to us today – “He who has ears, let him hear”

What Do We Believe?
We believe that…
- We are here for purpose and destiny, to establish the Kingdom and the rule and reign of God in the Earth as it is in Heaven.
- The Bible is God’s truth without error, His message to mankind.
- There is only one true God, the Creator and Ruler of ALL things. His triune nature has been revealed to us through the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
- Jesus Christ is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God. He is God manifest in the flesh and in whom eternal life is found, only by believing in Him as Lord and Savior.
- Baptism (“burial” with Christ) by immersion in water, should be observed as Scripture commands by all who have repented and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord.
- The Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues is our promised gift of empowerment.
- The Body of Christ is made up of all true believers in Jesus Christ. God places every believer in a local body as a part of his strategic plan to equip them for ministry and to spread the “good news”.
- The “church” is NOT a “religion”, but rather begins and continues as a “relationship” with God.
- We are here to change the atmosphere of our community, our region and the nations. We will do this through prayer, resources and outreach.
- Praise and Worship is an exchange of Heaven and Earth, of God and man, with all being involved. God speaks and sings to us and we speak and sing unto Him.
- God still speaks today through a variety of channels such as the gifts of the Spirit, songs, preaching, and personal ministry. This is His prophetic voice to us, which always lines up with the Holy Scriptures.
- God’s intent is to tear down the “spirit of religion” and once again by the power of the Holy Spirit, be in control of HIS CHURCH. His Church is not a building, a denomination or a set of rules but it is a holy people.
