To Equip & Build up the Body of Christ
Our Mission is to equip & build up the ekklesia, God's called-out people who bear the name of Jesus, to release His dominion on the earth by preparing, equipping, and commissioning disciples who bring lasting transformation, impact cities, and disciple nations.
​
-
Sending into the World: The ekklesia does not remain inward-focused; we are sent into our communities, cities, and nations to live out Christ’s mission and multiply disciples.
-
Touching Hearts: The ekklesia actively shares Christ’s love and compassion, ministering to the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of people.
-
Raising Disciples: We nurture and develop leaders within the ekklesia, recognizing that every believer is called to influence God’s Kingdom.
-
Equipping for Mission: The ekklesia is trained and empowered through discipleship, teaching, and the gifts of the Spirit to serve effectively.
Mobilizing the Ekklesia: Living the Mission of Christ
The ekklesia—God’s called-out people—is not just a congregation; it’s a life empowered by the Holy Spirit to transform lives, cities, and nations. We are called to be active, not passive; outward-moving, not inward-settling. Here’s how we walk out that calling:
​
-
Touching Hearts: Sharing Christ’s Love in Word and Deed as the ekklesia, we are moved by compassion, just as Christ was. We reach out to the broken, the hurting, and the lost ministering to spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Love is our foundation, and it’s expressed in practical ways: through prayer, care, service, and presence.“We love because He first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19
-
Raising Disciples: Empowering Every Believer to Influence the Kingdom, every believer has a calling and a sphere of influence. We intentionally identify, mentor, and release leaders—young and old—who will carry Kingdom values into every part of society.“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you...” – John 15:16
-
Equipping for Mission: Training the Church to Serve EffectivelyThrough sound teaching, intentional discipleship, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we equip the ekklesia to live out their faith with boldness and clarity. Whether in the marketplace, the home, or the nations, we believe in preparing people for real, Spirit-empowered mission.“...to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” – Ephesians 4:12
-
Sending into the World: Living Sent Lives. We are not meant to remain within the walls of the Church. The ekklesia is a sending community—commissioned to bring the good news of Jesus to neighborhoods, cities, and nations. We go as ambassadors of Christ, making disciples who make disciples.“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...” – Matthew 28:19
The Vision Is Clear: Love. Lead. Equip. Send.We are a people on mission—called, equipped, and released to be the Church the world needs. The ekklesia isn’t confined to a Sunday service. It’s a commitment that touches hearts, raises disciples, equips for mission, and sends out world-changers.
Core Beliefs
ONE HOLY GOD
Eternally existent in three people: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God calls His people into a relationship with Him, forming a community of the called-out (ekklesia) to worship, serve, and reflect His glory.
Scriptures: Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, Luke 3:22, John 14:16-17
JESUS CHRIST
Virgin-born Son of God. Crucified to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of all mankind and rose from the dead, conquering sin, death, and the grave. Jesus will personally return to the earth in power and glory. Believers, as the ekklesia, are called to follow Him, reflect His character, and participate in His redemptive work.
Scriptures: Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:31, Luke 1:35, Hebrews 7:26, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Matthew 28:6
MAN
Created in the image of God but fallen, lost, and powerless to save himself. Through Christ, humanity is invited into the ekklesia—a community called out to live in fellowship, accountability, and mission.
Scriptures: Genesis 1:26-27, 2:17, 3:6, Romans 5:12-19
WHAT WE CELEBRATE
Water Baptism and Holy Communion are tangible ways we celebrate our hope in Jesus Christ. Through these acts, the ekklesia publicly affirms God’s work in their lives and the unity of believers as a called-out community.
Scriptures: Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
CHURCH (EKKLESIA)
The Body of Christ, of which Jesus is the Head, is comprised of all believers spiritually changed by the Holy Spirit. The ekklesia exists to worship, disciple, serve, and fulfill God’s mission collectively and individually. While some lead as one of Five-Fold Ministry Giftings (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher), all believers are called to passionately serve and live out God’s purpose as part of His called-out community as those who bear the name of Jesus.
Scriptures: Matt 16:18, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22, Hebrews 12:23, Ephesians
THE HOLY BIBLE
The inspired, infallible, authoritative source of Christian belief and teaching. Through Scripture, God equips the ekklesia to know Him, grow in faith, and fulfill His mission.
Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21
HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit indwells all who receive Christ, empowering the ekklesia to live righteous and Spirit-filled lives. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with evidence, and that the Gifts of the Spirit are available to equip believers for service and ministry today.
Scriptures: Acts 2:4, Luke 24:49, John 14:16-17, John 16, 1 Corinthians 12-14
MAN’S ONLY HOPE
Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. Believers are called into the ekklesia, a spiritual family of those transformed by faith, living under Christ’s lordship.
Scriptures: Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 2:8-10, Luke 24:47
HEALING
Jesus Christ still offers healing—physical, relational, and emotional. The ekklesia participates in prayer, care, and support, embodying His compassion and extending restoration to one another.
Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17, James 5:14-16
LIFESTYLE
A life transformed by Christ reflects inward love, joy, and peace; outward integrity; and relationally, love and grace. The ekklesia models this lifestyle, encouraging one another in growth, maturity, and accountability.
Scriptures: Romans 12:1-3, Hebrews 12:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23
