Our Primary Objective: Jesus states His purpose in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which is lost". We feel that to be true followers of Christ, this too should be our purpose. And what better way of proclaiming the Good News than through Humanitarian Assistance to the world.
Our Primary Intension: Within all of our projects and programs the gospel is to be proclaimed using the Whole Counsel of God, scriptures taught, converts discipled, churches planted and God be glorified in all we do.
OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH:
1. God – We believe that there is only one true living god, whom we call God and exists eternally in three, distinct but equal divine Persons referred to as the Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:20)
2. Jesus Christ – We believe in the beginning was Jesus, He was with God, He was God, in the deity of Jesus Christ, that He was conceived through the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, making Him God incarnate, fully God, fully man, one Person in two natures, in His living a perfect sinless life, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection from the dead, in His ascension into heaven where He sits at the right hand of God the Father, and in His personal return to Earth in power and glory. (John 1:1, John 10:30,3, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:34-35, Hebrews 4:15, 7:26, 1 Corinthians 15:3, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 2:9, John 11:25, 1 Corinthians 15:4, Mark 16:19, Acts 1:11, Revelation 19:11-16)
3. Holy Spirit – We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity and was there also at the beginning of all creation, in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation. He was promised and sent by Jesus to the believers and followers of Christ as the Comforter, baptizing the sinner into union with Christ, dwelling within them at their point of accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ in all that He does. He will reprove the world of sin, convincing of sin, righteousness and of judgment. In the Holy Spirit’s sanctifying work, He empowers and equips the believer to live a Christ-like way of life in service for God. (Genesis 1:2, John 3:3, 5-6, John 14:6-7, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19, 12:13, John 15:26, 16:14, John 16:8-11, John 14:26, 16:13, Romans 8:13-14)
4. Bible - We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative, infallible, and inerrant Word of God, to be an assemblage of 66 books, a collection of sacred writings, letters and books being God’s incontrovertible communication of truth to mankind. The Bible is God’s revealing of Himself and His complete disclosure of His will for salvation to Israel and to the believers, the followers of Christ. The Bible is without error in the original writings and manuscripts. There has been no proven fraud or error to be found in either the Old or New Testaments, nor are there any contradictions. It is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:21, 2 Timothy 3:16)
5. The Church – We believe the church to be a unity of believers who profess trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord for their salvation and eternal security, being called out, assembling together to study the word of God, to fellowship and worship Him. We believe it is the mandate of the whole church to go into the entire world and preach the Gospel to every living creature. The church is seen as the body of Christ, not as a building or facility but a group of believers. The church is quite often described as a fellowship of faith; its members sometimes are referred to as saints, believers, the faithful, the witnesses, the elect, the bride, the redeemed, the called, the sheep, a priest, a temple, the born again, and the saved. (Matthew 16:18, Hebrews 12:23, Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19-20, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Colossians 1:18, 24, Ephesians 1:1, Colossians 1:2, Philippians 1:1, John 6:47, Revelation 17:14, Acts 1:8, 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 11:2, Ephesians 1:7, Revelation 17:14, 2 Timothy 1:9 Matthew 25:33-34, John 10: 14-16, 1 Peter 2:9, 1 Corinthians 3:16, John 3:3, John 3:17)
6. Salvation – We believe that upon death everyone will face God for judgment, and being found guilty, will be held accountable for their sins. As punishment for sin God will cast the sinner into a place of torment called Hell. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ is it possible to be saved from this punishment, to be reconciled and to be renewed. We believe that Jesus shed his blood on the cross at Calvary as the perfect and all sufficient one-time sacrifice for our sins, being made our representative and substitute. Upon repentance of sin and trust in Jesus Christ, His atoning death and resurrection from the dead is the only way for mankind to obtain salvation so that we can be with our Father God in Heaven. (Hebrews 9:27, Romans 3:23, Matthew 12:36, Romans 14:12, Acts 4:12, Romans 6:10, Hebrews10:10-12, John 10:10, Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, John 14:6, Luke 13:3)
7. Christ’s Return and the Resurrection – We believe in the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to be personal and bodily, where we will be called to meet Him in the air, first the dead in Christ and then those who are living. We believe in both the resurrection of the saved unto the resurrection of life and the lost, unto condemnation. (1 Thessalonians 4:17, John 5:28-29)
8. Christian Living – We believe the greatest commandment is to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. We obey God’s commandments, even though we are no longer under the law but under grace. We are to live out our faith by being salt and being light to a lost and dying world, to follow in the footsteps of Jesus by His example. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to be witnesses throughout the entire world following in the footsteps of Jesus. We believe we need to model Jesus using the whole counsel of God in spreading the “good news” of the gospel so that all who hear will have a clear and obvious understanding and an opportunity to accept the offer of forgiveness. In obedient response to the gospel the gift of eternal life that has been made available to all of mankind from God our Father and Creator in heaven above. We are to go and teach all nations, making disciples and baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Our primary mission is to seek and save the lost with concern, compassion, mercy and love as was the mission of Jesus. (Luke 10:27, Romans 6:14-15, Matthew 5:13-14, John 3:16, Romans 6:23, Matthew 28:19, Luke 19:10)
