vision & purpose & salvation
Our desire is to establish a healthy church. A healthy church is a church that is balanced. This can be accomplished through the preaching and teaching of the gospel. We believe that some ministers will grow up (spiritually) in the church and some God will send already seasoned spiritually. Secondly, I want to establish through God’s spirit a place of refuge (safe haven) and fellowship (family) in creating an environment free of schisms and conducive for solid growth and enrichment of the entire person (spirit, soul and body). The power of God’s Spirit is available to all.
Three focus points we will use to accomplish this is:
- Faith: Without faith it’s impossible to please God. Transforming from man pleasers to God pleasers.
- Hope: “This hope (Elpis’/Greek) we have as an anchor of the soul.” (Hebrews 6:19) The Greek word Elpis” means to anticipate with pleasure. You can drop anchor on the promises of God and get excited about His delivering power.
- Love: 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” Love must be an outward demonstration of our commitment and obedience to the Father.
Now that we’ve expressed the mission of “this House”, the sole PURPOSE of My Father’s House is to SAVE SOULS FOR CHRIST. Amen! To that end, we’re advancing the Kingdom of God and maintaining the ground that He has committed to His faithful servants. In so doing, our goal is to create an atmosphere where the Spirit of the L
how to be “born again”
Accept God’s Word: That He Loves You and Wants to Give you an Abundant Life, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16) “I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10)
Accept God’s Word: That You are a Sinner: That this Separates You from God: That You must Truly Repent, or “turn away” from sin. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23) “The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to REPENTANCE.” (2 Peter 3:9)
Accept God’s Word: That the Shed Blood of Jesus is God’s only Provision for Man to Get Rid of Sin”…the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7) “But God commendeth His love towards us, in that while we yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)
Accept God’s Word: That Jesus Christ is Our Only Contact with God. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5)

Receive Jesus Christ As Savior and Lord by Your Personal Invitation. “But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12) Behold I stand at the door and knock; If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I WILL COME IN TO HIM…. (Christ speaking in Revelation 3:20)
“Born Again” (Regeneration)
To Be “Restored”
The spiritual change wrought in the heart of a man by an act of God in which your sinful nature is changed and which you are enabled to respond to God in Faith.
As long as a man is in sin, he cannot believe in God. If he is to believe, he can do so only after God has initiated a change through the in-dwelling Spirit, thus releasing you from the bondage of your will to sin. He whom the son sets free is “Free in Deed” (John 8:36)
Therefore we conclude that regeneration or being Born-Again is an act of God through His precious Spirit. Thus we enter into a blessed life and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Regeneration involves an illumination of the mind, a change in the will and a renewed nature.
(Romans 10:8-13)
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him, will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
