We are a new breed without greed

To develop an enhanced specie of humanity imbibing the ingredients of the vision as core-character who in turn will raise strong families as a means of preserving and perpetuating social order, wholesome lifestyle, proper role functions and Godly heritage. (Each Family and the individuals therein must constitute a center of kingdom activity).

To ensure the establishment of the individual and families in the corporate body. The Church -the present on-going revelation of Jesus Christ until He returns as against setting up camp in any restorational move of the Holy Spirit. (We are a movement, not a monument).

OUR DOCTRINAL STATEMENT (What We Believe)
THE SCRIPTURE
is the infallible and authoritative word of God, without error, given for the purpose of directing man to salvation.


GOD THE FATHER
is the creator of heaven and earth and the sustainer of all things. There is but one God, infinite, eternal and perfect in holiness, truth and love.


THE TRIUNE GOD
consists of the Father; the Son, Jesus Christ; and the Holy Spirit. They are co-existent, co-eternal and co-equal.


GOD THE SON, JESUS
was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of Virgin Mary, and was without sin. He was the vicarious sacrifice of the sin of all mankind through His own glorified body, appeared to many, ascended unto Heaven, and will return to earth in power and glory. He is the Head of His body, the church.


GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT
convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, unites man to Jesus Christ in faith, brings about the new birth, and dwells within the believer, enabling him to grow in sanctification and righteousness, and become a gift of God to the church.


THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
is available to all that believe in Jesus Christ, and will totally surrender their lives to the complete, perfect will of God.


THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
(the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues and the interpretation of tongues) are available through the Holy Ghost, and are for the church today.


THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
(love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance) and the character of God must be evident in the life of every disciple as pre-conditioned for the resting and manifestation of the seven spirits of God (the spirit of the Lord, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord) sent forth into all the earth ( Gal 5:22 & 23; Isaiah 11:1 & 2; Rev 1:4; Rev 4:5 and Rev 5:6). Character is the stability of the anointing.




MAN
was created in the image and likeness of God. Through the original sin of Adam and Eve, mankind fell from God and became sinful in nature. He is totally incapable of returning to God in himself and is lost without hope, apart from the salvation of Jesus Christ.


SALVATION
is the gift of God through the grace and faith of Jesus Christ. There is no other name except that of Jesus Christ by which men may be saved. By turning from sin to repentance and trusting in Christ and His vicarious death, man is born again unto eternal life by the Holy Spirit.


THE CHURCH
is Body of Christ, whose task is to take the gospel to all men in all nations and make disciples of them.


THE CONSUMMATION
of all things including the visible personal return of Jesus Christ the resurrection of the dead and the translation of those alive in Christ into the presence of God, the marriage supper of the lamb, the Millennial Reign of Christ and the final judgment.
