We believe Jesus Christ the one true god is Lord and Savior of this world and our souls.
We believe that he ushered in with his birth, life, death and resurrection a kingdom not of this world.
We believe that the all inclusive work salvation a work of Gods favor, granting us access to Christ righteousness, living according to God's word by His Spirit is the process of discipleship and the means by which full grasp the kingdom of heaven.
We affirm that Heaven is the dwelling place with God for his saints after this life.
We affirm that Kingdom of Heaven is come to this world as dwelling place of his saints in this life.
We affirm the sacred ordinances of foot-washing, baptism and communion and signs that accompany belief.
Upon the confession of our faith we believe that we are the church the Jesus is coming for in his second return.

I had it the whole time.
It has been blessing to be serving the Lord these past few years. God is truly amazing and the new thing that God is doing with me is something I am even having a hard time explaining.
The Lord revealed that name of the ministry he wishes for me to work should be called A House of Hope....
The weird thing is God already gave me the blueprint for what this work is do and where it supposed to be and how it is to be known.
Not fully unique but not something that is being done or has been done.
We are discussing a ministry in neighborhood home devoted to being filled with God's glory and being service to the community outside its door. Built on a simple premise.
Jesus said " I came that they might have life and that life more abundantly..." To this end we say what is life if in fact the areas to which we are called to live we are not prospering. The mission of the church is spiritual one with practical implications. We seek infuse people with God's zoe and walk with them to the next few phases of that life allow them to function in a socially, professional and educationally.
We say socially focusing on being mission oriented and walking out the ministry of reconciliation through basic acts of service, everything from feeding to tutoring students.
We say professional as we seek to be hub to provide access to tools and seminars to be effective economically.
We say educationally focusing on providing tutoring and mentoring.
The ministry is not built on attendance but service to the community. The standard of success is how many people we serve regular not how many cross our threshold for our four areas of fellowship.
Area 1
Doctrine - In the form of a weekly bible study.
Area 2
Fellowship - In the form of gender based and or demographic based fellowship group and dinner.
Area 3
Prayer - In the form of weekly prayer gathering.
Area 4
Breaking of Bread - In form of facilitation on weekly and ongoing sacred services, such as baptisms, communion and foot washing.
The face is simple.
Monday Prayer
Wednesday Bible Study
Friday Fellowship Night
Sunday Service ( Three Moves ( Worship, Word, Fellowship))
In tandem with these services we will also be providing services in the form of a weekly program, income based tuition which would focus on those same areas in which we are seeking to impact.
The Place
The House will contain, office space, meeting space, fellowship space, industrial kitchen and prayer space. Essentially a space for everything that we are doing.

His Name
Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of [b]His holy name
I have had the blessed pleasure of interacting with spirit of God through a book I have been listening to called It's Happening by William McDowell.
My eyes are starting to adjust to a specific tone and tension. Every time he begans to dig into the topic of the nature of God and his Holiness it shakes me and it brings me to place of solemness. I am convinced that the majority of my experiences over these past few months are not true in encounters with God but simply emotional ones.
The author has awaken a latent desire to encounter God for who he is. My mind knows what I want and my spirit is all together terrified of this encounter because I am keen aware of a few things. The coming of the Lord brings first fear, judgement and peace.
This is are all appropriate reactions. There is no way one can come into the hands of the create who controls you very life force and you some how see that not respond in this way. John the disciple saw Jesus in revelation and fell over as dead man.
There something about Jesus as He IS that is terrifying and grounding at the same time. I actually want this type of encounter.
The Lord lead me to the aforementioned vs.
His Name manifested in the earth.
His Name that invokes the presence of God.
His Name where by man must be saved.
His Name to which I am called by.
His Name which grants me access to his riches and his grace.
His Name which is my righteousness and my peace.
His Name which is Holy.
His Name which means God with us.
His Name which is one that can be said because of his intent to dwell with us.
His Name which stands as a rock of offence and cornerstone to those who call it.
His Name which is a strong tower, in which I can run and be safe.
His Name who is Jesus.
Its not coincidental what I am coming back to and what the full dawning is taking place in my heart write now.
I am settling on the Lordship of Christ. His Lordship is based on two this that He is God, and He is Holy. Therefore what he produces in my life is holiness which makes me like him and closer to him day by day.
Prayer
Lord what ever it is that is blocking my chance to have all of you, remove it. I want you. Jesus I call your Holy name. Please purge me completely from top to the bottom from the inside and out. This is all I want.
And give thanks at the remembrance of [b]His holy name

Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.Perhaps the outstanding word in this verse is remembrance. This word is communicating a specific awareness that was present in the past that is not and has returned. The mention of this explanation gives me hope. That there is and some times will be a falling away but his grace and mercy permits us to remember the truth as it pertains to His Name.
His Name manifested in the earth.
His Name that invokes the presence of God.
His Name where by man must be saved.

Oh the yearning. Oh the deep wanting. The clamouring after your presence. The swirling thoughts in my mind that says I can have you.
The unsettling in my spirit when I am asking for this moment. The pain of desiring that is softly cuddled with the promise that they that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled.
Help me empty this cup. I dont want anything in my Kool- Aid that is going to change what you are giving me.
Oh God your coming, I desire it of you. I have not made room for you. Show me what is in your way. Give me the strength till my the soils of my heart so you can give me all you want me to have. Oh God....my soul longs and thirsts.
Prayer
Lord what ever it is that is blocking my chance to have all of you, remove it. I want you. Jesus I call your Holy name. Please purge me completely from top to the bottom from the inside and out. This is all I want.
