Living Out the Gospel
Our Mission
Our mission is to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation, which is a command that Christ gave his disciples in Mark 16:15. Equipping saints and making disciples who will go from children of God to the mature sons/daughters of God (Romans 8:14-15). Changing lives through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit so that believers can walk in Love, Holiness, Deliverance, Healing, Peace, and Victory.
Our Vision
Our vision is to teach sound doctrine, liberate people from religion to an intimate, personal relationship with God. To preach, teach and demonstrate the love of Jesus to everyone we meet.
Our Core Beliefs
Our teachings and our ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all things that exists, both natural and spiritual realms (Matt 3:16-17, Phil 2:6).
Man and the Fall
Human, both man and woman, were created in Gods image and likeness for His glory and purpose. The first Humans, Adam and Eve were created without sin and were caretakers over the rest of God’s creations. Adam and Eve chose not to obey God and through Adams transgression, sin came into the world (Gen 3:1-23)
Salvation
We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, who came to reconcile us with God. He lived a sinless life and willingly died on the cross to the pay the penalty for our sins. God raised Him from the dead and by His grace, through believing by faith, we have salvation and eternal life in Christ (Eph 2:8-9, 1 John 5:10-13).
Resurrection of the Just and Return of the Lord
Jesus is coming back one day to judge both the dead in Christ and those that remain shall be caught up together with him in the clouds. He also will judge the lost (those who didn’t follow Christ) and to them is fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Heb 9:27, Rev 21:1-27, 1 Thess 4:16-17)
Baptism into the Body of Christ
The Holy Spirit saturates and unites all believers by one baptism in the body of Christ. This baptism into the body of Christ transpires when we repent and turn away from our past lives. The Holy spirit takes us out of the family of Satan and spiritually immerses us into the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:13).
Baptism with Water
Water baptism is a subsequent act that follows our believing and receiving Christ as our Savior. Water baptism is by emersion and is for believers, not to receive salvation but because we are saved. It is a symbol that identifies believers with Christ death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3-5).
Baptism in the Holy Ghost
The baptism in the Holy Ghost with fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to those who believe in Him. This is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gives us utterance (Act 1:8, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 2:4, Matt 3:11).
Divine Healing
Healing of the physical body can take place through the power of God through the prayer of faith and by laying on of hands. It is for the church and is provided by the atonement of Christ and the blood He shed on the cross (Mark 16:18, Isaiah 53:5, 1 Pet 2:24).
Sanctification
As a follower of Christ, we should make holiness our priority for without holiness no one will see the Lord. God wants our whole spirit, body and soul to be kept blameless. As the Lord who has called us is Holy, we should also be holy in conduct (Heb 12:14, 1 Thess 5:23, 1 Pet 1:16).
Laying on of Hands
We believe in the power and anointing of the laying on of hands. Through scripture it was used to bless, heal the sick, receive the Holy Spirit, confer office, for ordination to consecrate and receive ministry gifts. It is by the power of God being transmitted through one person to another (Acts 8:15-18, Act 28:8, 1 Tim 4:14).
Guiding You Closer
A Note From Pastor
Tarace Holmes
My goal is not to make myself the center of attention but to lead you toward God, the One who truly deserves all the glory and praise. It is His love, grace, and power that transform lives, and my greatest desire is to help you experience that for yourself. Every time you join us, my prayer is that you leave feeling renewed in spirit, encouraged in your heart, and more firmly rooted in the truth of His Word.
No matter where we find ourselves on this journey, whether we feel distant from God or are walking closely with Him, there is always an opportunity to grow deeper in our relationship with Him. God’s arms are always open, inviting us to draw nearer, experience His presence, and live in the fullness of His purpose for our lives.
My hope is to be a guide on this path, helping you take meaningful steps toward a closer walk with God. Together, we can embrace His love, grow in faith, and discover the abundant life He has prepared for each of us.
