 Ministry Vision

Isaiah 61:1-3

 

The Spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

 

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

 

 

 
 

The basic mission is to teach and preach the Word of God with such simplicity that it will bring salvation to the lost, mature and prepare believers for the living of life and the work of the ministry.

This Vision is concentrated in two areas:

Evangelism: to present the Jesus Christ as the absolute solution to every problem through the power of the gospel.

Education: to promote Jesus Christ as Lord and provide Christian-based education for all people at every level of life.

Our pastors have a real burden for people who are hurting. This burden from the  Lord is to comfort them that mourn, especially those who mourn in Zion. Through divine revelation this church has been identified as a “Healing Center” for those who are already in the church operating from a false identity. It is a place of refuge where a torn and battered soul may come and find salvation and restoration from the pain and wounds inflicted by sin.

Those with deviant behavior and addictions in all forms can come and be freed by the power of God. This is a place for counseling and teaching on how to resolve conflicts and get to the root of life's issues according to the Word of God.

The Characteristics of this Healing Center

  • Redemption: To bring salvation to the lost

  • Recovery: To recover souls from false identities inflicted by sinful experiences and teach them how to live according to their identity in Christ Jesus

  • Restoration: To be restored back to their destiny and purpose in Christ Jesus

  • Reconciliation: To bring souls back into harmony with God, with themselves, and others

  • Renewal: To renew their strength through the refreshing of the Holy Spirit that they may live a life of an overcomer through the Lord Jesus Christ

This Healing Center exists to glorify God

through the gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.
