Purpose
Our ministry stands as a beacon of hope, guiding those who have faced the trials of drug addiction, alcohol abuse, homelessness, and the depths of depression. Here, we offer a transformative one-year residential solution to both men and women.
Mission statement
We provide discipleship and life skills training in a Christian residential community. We also provide a safe place where people can find spiritual enrichment, social development, physical activity, and mental renewal.
Statement of faith
We believe that all 66 books are inspired by God and are God's infallible word.
Ps 19:7-9; Ps 138:2; Jn 10:35; 2 Ti 3:16-17; Heb 4:12; 1 Pet 1:20-21
We believe that the one true God exists through 3 persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe they are equal in power, deity and glory.
Matt 28:19; Acts 17:24-28; 2 Cor 13:14; Eph 1:9-12
We believe that our heavenly Father is the source of all that exists. We believe He made male and female in His image.
Gen 1:27; Ps 68:5; Matt 5:45; Rom 8:15; 1 Pet 1:17
We believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Messiah and the son of God. We believe that He's fully God and fully man. We believe that He was born of a virgin woman and lived a sinless life. We believe the blood He shed on the cross redeems us from the eternal damnation.
Matt 1:18-25; Matt 3:16-17; Jn 1:1-18; Rom 8:34; 1 Cor 15:1-28; 2 Cor 5:21; Gal 3:10-14; Eph 1:7; Phil 2:6-11; Col 1:15-23; 1 Jn 2:1-2
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ baptizes us in the Holy Spirit and seals us until the day of redemption. We believe the Holy Spirit regenerates and graciously equips the Christian to live and to walk in victory. We believe that the signs and wonders that were shown in the Bible as well as the gifts of the Spirit are available for the church today.
Matt 3:11; Jn 1:12-13; Jn 1:14-15; Acts 4:29-30; Rom 8:9; 1 Cor 12:12-13; 2 Cor 1:21-22; Gal 3:1-5; Eph 1:13-14
We believe we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We believe there is no other name except Jesus by which we must be saved.
Jn 1:12-13; Jn 10:25-30; Acts 16:30-31; Rom 3:1-4:23; Rom 10:8-10; Eph 2:8-10; Phil 2:12-13; Titus 3:3-7; 1 Jn 1:7-9
We believe that Satan originally was created good and then rebelled against God. We believe he was cast out of Heaven and took 1/3 of the angels with him. We believe Satan was judged and defeated at the cross by Christ and will be cast forever in the lake of fire - a place God has created for him and his angels.
Is 14:10-17; Eze 28:11-19; Matt 12:25-29; Matt 25:41; Jn 12:31; Jn 16:11; Eph 6:10-20; Col 2:15; 2 Pt 2:4; Jude 6; Rev 12:7-9; Rev 20:10
We believe that both male and female were created in God's image and originally without sin.
Gen 1:1-3; Ps 51:5; Is 53:5; Rom 3:9-18; Rom 5:12-21; Eph 2:1-3
We believe that water baptism and holy communion or two ordinances of the church. We believe neither are means for salvation, but both are to be observed until the return of Jesus Christ.
Matt 26:26-29; Matt 28:19; Rom 6:3-11; 1 Cor 11:23-34; 1 Pt 3:21
We believe the church is God's primary purpose to fulfill His will in the earth. We believe the church it is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry - raising up pastors, teachers, prophets, evangelists and apostles. We believe that women are called and gifted just as a man to do the work of ministry.
Matt 16:17-19; Acts 2:17-18; Acts 2:42; Eph 3:14-21; Eph 4:11-16; 1 Tim 2:11-15; Heb 10:23-25; 1 Pt 2:4-5; 1 Pt 2:9-10
We believe that God has called the Church to work together in unity, preach the gospel to all nations, make disciples and remember the poor by ministering to their needs through sacrificial giving and practical service. We believe this ministry is an expression of the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ and is an essential part of the Kingdom of God.
Is 58:6-12; Is 61:1; Matt 5:1-7:28; Matt 28:18-20; Lk 4:18; Lk 21:1-4; Gal 2:10; 1 Tim 6:8
We believe in a historic premillennialism with a victorious church. We believe in the literal second coming of Christ at the end of this age. We believe He will return to earth personally and visibly to reign over the nations in His millennial kingdom. We believe that the Church will go through the Great Tribulation with great power and victory and will only be raptured at the end of the Great Tribulation. We believe no one can know with certainty the timing of the Lord's return. We believe in and are praying for a great end-time harvest of souls.
Ps 2:7-9; Matt 24:36; Jn 14:12; Rom 11:25-32; 1 Cor 15:50-58; 1 Thess 4:13; 1 Thess 5:11; Rev 7:9-14
We believe that when Christians die, they pass immediately into the blessed presence of Christ to enjoy conscious fellowship with the Savior until the Day of the Resurrection and the glorious transformation of their bodies. We believe that when unbelievers die, they are consigned to hell to await the Day of Judgment when they shall be punished in the lake of fire with eternal, conscious and tormented separation from the presence of God.
Daniel 12:2; Matt 25:46; Lk 16:19-31; Jn 5:25-29; 1 Cor 15:35-58; Phil 1:19-26; 2 Thess 1:5-10; Heb 9:27; Rev 20:11-15
