As God’s own, we believe there’s an important kingdom work to do. Whether the task is great or small, we do it by serving our fellow people. During His brief time on earth, Jesus was good at drawing marginalized people to Himself, but even among the needy, there were others who caught His attention at a deeper level: The Children. Children have significance in God’s plan and there are numerous Bible quotes about children being a blessing. The account of Jesus taking the children in His arms is recorded several times in the Bible. We can follow Jesus’ example by showing a child that he or she has value in our eyes and in the eyes of God. Furthermore, God wants parents to teach their children about Him—to leave God’s wisdom as an inheritance. God specifically commanded the Israelites to teach their children all He had done for them. He wanted the future generations to have the greatest inheritance—godly wisdom! When parents fail in this crucial assignment society quickly declines. Even Jesus’ disciples saw children as a nuisance to be avoided, but Jesus saw them as a treasure to be welcomed, to be received, to be loved, and cherished.
In one of the most recognized milestones in the Bible, we read:
"Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there. — Matthew 19:13-14.
We believe we are a divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in:
We all are many parts of the same body of Christ, and we belong to each other (Romans 12:4-5). The diversity of the many accompanies the unity of the body of the Christ. Apostle Paul asks us to evaluate properly God’s gifts and exercise them for spiritual service.

We believe we are a divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in:
- Evangelizing the world (Mark 16:15-20)
- Worship of God (John 4:23,24)
- Building a Body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son (Ephesians 4:11,16)
- Meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion (Psalms 112:9; Galatians 2:10; 6:10; James 1:27).

- The Father is the source of all creation, and Jesus Christ is the dynamic One through whom creation came into existence. “All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! (cf. Jude 24–25).
- Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning, and the end and who is still come. Jesus backed up all his claims through countless miracles of healing and for those call on Him that divine healing still is available today” (Revelation 1:8).
- “The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).”
- “The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21). The authority of the bible is inspired and the inerrant word of God. “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God inspired the actual WORD. The Bible is revelation from God, written by men as God inspired the written word, and understood by the reader through the Holy Spirit’s ministry of illumination.”
