...Psalm 24:6 “Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of God of Jacob.”
To equip a generation of children and youth to co-labor with Jesus in fulfilling, “The Great Commandment” according to Matthew 22:37-40, and the Great Commission according to Matthew 28:19-20.
We believe that children and youth are an integral force in God’s end time army to fulfill the Great Commission, preach the gospel, lay hands on the sick, prophesy, walk in authority over evil, and serve others according to Mark 16:17-18.
We will try to give children and youth tools that will take them deeper in their faith and closer to the one true God.
Our ministry desires to bring a “new wine skin” and “new wine” to the way we disciple our children and youth today.
We train children and youth in knowing God as well as knowing about God which translates into an outward expression of His heart toward the world.
We wish to help pre-teens and youth connect with and touch the heart of the Father through deep teaching from the Word, hearing and following His voice, intimate worship, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, discerning His presence and hands-on practice with real ministry.
It is also our belief that children and youth are to take part in the Great Commission, preaching the gospel to all nations, laying hands on the sick, walking in authority over evil and serving others according to Matthew 28:19-20 and Acts 2:16-17. We also believe that children will play a major role in ushering in the return of the Lord Jesus.
We believe it is the responsibility of parents first and other adults second to train and equip children and youth to be fully functioning members of the body of Christ. God mandates that we teach children the word of God according to John 21:15, Deuteronomy 6:1-9.
We Believe…
- God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, are all equal in deity and worthy of our worship and praise, Matthew 28:19.
- The full inspiration of the Scriptures as they were originally given to us and breathed on by the Holy Spirit. II Timothy 3:16. We believe in the inherrancy of the word of God.
- The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and that Jesus suffered, taking the penalty of sin upon Himself on behalf of sinners according to I Corinthians 15.
- Eternal life for all who repent, turn from doing life their way and believe in Him, Luke 13:3.
- The Lordship of Jesus Christ over our lives when one truly receives Him as Savior. Romans 10:9-10; 2 Corinthians 5:15, Colossians 2:6.
- Jesus as one who ascended to heaven and then provided for and commanded in Scripture that every believer be filled or baptized with the Holy Spirit. This sanctifying truth is both a crisis and continuing process in the life of a child of God. Acts 9:17 and Ephesians 5:18.
- Jesus Christ’s provision at the cross for our physical healing according to Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17 and that anointing with oil for healing is both Biblical and for today, James 5:14-16.
- The personal, visible and bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth, Acts 1:10-11 and I Thessalonians 4:14-18.
- In the gifts of the Spirit as found in I Corinthians Chapters 12-14, I Peter 4:10-11. All the gifts are for today, though no one gift is the initial or required evidence of being baptized or filled with the Spirit.
- The gifts of the Spirit are sovereignly bestowed by God and activated through faith. I Corinthians 12:28-30. We also believe in the operations of the 5 fold gifts of the Spirit as given to the church according to Ephesians 4:11 … apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers. Also, the gifts of grace as in Romans 12:3-8.
- Water baptism as a Scriptural command after conversion with agreement to immersion being the form practiced within most churches. However, we do not believe that immersion is the only form necessary for baptism.
- The Lord’s Supper for all believers.
