We are people that love God (1John 4;19) love people (John 13;34-35) and love life 1Peter 4 vs 8 Youthful in spirit, generous at heart, faith-filled in confession, loving in nature and inclusive in expression Gen. 11;1 Matthew 28 vs.18-20; And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in t
he name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. The Vision is a need for more disciples to be trained fearlessly for the Kingdom harvest. Connecting people with God, through authentic relationships to serve communities.
3. To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way that turns non-Christians into converts, converts into disciples, and disciples into mature, fruitful leaders, who will in turn go into the world and reach others for Christ.
4. To bring people to Jesus, develop them to Christlike maturity, and equip them for their ministry in the church and life mission in the world, in order to magnify God’s name. OUR MOTTO : ONE WAY JESUS, ONE CAUSE EVANGELISM. Our Statement of Beliefs
1. THE SCRIPTURE; We believe the Bible is God’s Word, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Psalm 119:11, 89, 105; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 22:29; John 5:39, 16:13-15, 17:17; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2, 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:21
2. ONE GOD; We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. (Eph. 4vs5-6) He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (Eph 4:4-6). He is totally loving and completely holy.
3. sin ; We believe our sin has separated each of us from God and His Purpose for our Lives as result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Genesis 3, Psalm32;1-5, Isaiah 6;5 Romans 3;10. 3;23,5;12 and 1corinthians 15;21-22
4. Jesus; we believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. (2 CORINTHIANS 5;18-20) He lived a sinless and exemplary life,(1 Peter 2vs22) died on the cross in our place,(1Peter 3vs18) and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. Matthew 28vs 18
5. Repentance : We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives. Acts 8vs 22. Luke 15vs 10
6. Baptism ; We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues. Mark 16vs16
7. THE CHURCH: We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the ‘breaking of bread’. We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church, and serve the community in which we live. Matthew 16:18-19, 18:15-20; Acts 2:41-47, 5:11-14, 13:1-3, 14:23, 16:5, 20:28; 1 Corinthians 7:17; Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22, 3:10-12, 5:22-32; Colossians 1:18, 3:15; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 21:2-3 Acts 2vs41-4
8. We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively. Daily health and divine healing were purchased by Jesus’ atoning sacrifice. Wisdom for the healthy stewardship of our bodies and divine healing by the laying on of hands are available to every believer. Psalm 103:2-3; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16; 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28; Romans 11:29
9. HEAVEN: We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 5:3, 12, 20; 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 19:20
10. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised. Acts 1vs11
11. Resurrection & Rapture; we believe in the resurrection of the saints and rapture of the Church. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says, “...the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
12. The Reign of Christ; Following the tribulation, we believe Jesus will physically and visibly return to Earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 20:6 tells us Jesus’ followers will reign with Him for a thousand years as kings and priests. Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7
Following Jesus. What does it mean to follow Jesus? God loves you right where you are, but He loves you too much to leave you where you are. Following Jesus means embracing a life of surrender to Him. It’s more than a one-time prayer or consistent church attendance. It’s a gritty, heart-level posture that affects every area of life. And there’s always a next step. As we read through scriptures we can’t help but notice a path that God most often leads His people. It starts with knowing and loving Him and leads to knowing and loving people. We’re convinced following Jesus in an invitation to…
• Know God
• Grow in Freedom
• Discover Purpose
• Go Make a Difference
LOVE LEAD CHURCH as a group of institutions who are dedicated to help you identify and take your next step in the safety and freedom of community. Know God. You were created to know God relationally. This is more than head knowledge. The incarnation and the cross show us the infinite length God is willing to go to have a close, intimate relationship with us. He doesn’t just love us. John 3:16 says “God so loved” us. Following Jesus means knowing and being known by a God who is wild about us. We consider it a great privilege to make everyone know God. Grow in Freedom. Following Jesus also means becoming more like Him. Your salvation and eternity are secure the moment you accept Jesus as your savior, but your sanctification (spiritual maturity) is a journey that doesn’t happen in isolation. Becoming more like Jesus means letting go of your past and growing in freedom surrounded by a loving community. Discover Purpose. God didn’t just save you from something, He saved you for something! You were created in the image of God with a unique purpose. Often the thing He saves you from is connected to the thing He wants to use you for. Purpose isn’t something we create or choose, it’s something we discover in the content of community. Discovering your kingdom purpose is a journey and we’re committed to help you every step of the way. Go Make a Difference. Finally, following Jesus means going out into our world, loving our neighbor, and making a difference. We find great joy in giving generously; praying boldly, serving consistently and helping other people find and take their next step. Freely we have received; freely we go make a difference! We believe the Church was always meant to be a church on the move in Different locations. Not a building. Not a weekly meeting alone But A movement. We invite you to come be a part. Take Charge! LOVE AND GRATITUDE:
APST. GODWIN A .O.
