What God is willing to do for one man He is willing to do for another!

Our Mission

Equipping others to do what Jesus did!

As believers and ministers of the Gospel, we believe our first mission apart from showing the love of God is "the full equipping of the saints" (Ephesians 4:12) to do what Jesus did and more (John 14:12)!'

We have spoken at various denominational churches, as well as small localized home groups. Wherever the Lord sends us, we will go. We believe miracles, signs, and wonders are for every single believer of Jesus Christ. Terry provides practical and easy to understand teachings on healing, praying for the sick, the prophetic, as well as demonstration. Whether in person, podcasts, or interviews.

The Holy Scriptures

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is without error.

The Godhead

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three person; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe in the pre-existence, incarnation, and virgin birth of the Jesus Christ. And that He came into the world to reveal the Father and was the express image of Him. Jesus Christ was the Creator of all things and by Him the worlds were made.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit, though omnipresent from all eternity, after the glorification of Jesus Christ was sent on the day of Pentecost, dwells in every believer, unites all to Christ in one body, and is the source of all power and all acceptable service.

We believe that ministries are committed to the Holy Spirit including the restraining of evil in the world; the convicting of the world with respect to sin, righteousness, and judgment; the regenerating of all believers; the sealing of all believers unto the day of redemption; and the continued filling for power and service of those among the saved who are yielded to Him and to His will. We believe that the fruit of the Spirit is the manifestation of the character of Christ in the believer's life. We further believe that all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to Christians today and that all of the gifts of the Spirit should be and must be operative in the church for the church.

The Creation of the World and of Man

We believe that God sovereignly created the world out of nothing. We further believe that man was created in the image of God and by a direct and immediate act of God.

Man's Fallen Condition

We believe that man by willful transgression fell from a state of righteousness and holiness in which he was first created into total spiritual depravity; a state of death in trespasses and sins in which he is held as a slave of sin and an enemy of God. And unable to attain divine righteousness by his own efforts he must be redeemed and delivered by his belief in Jesus Christ as his Savior for his sins.

Salvation Only Through Christ

We believe that repentance and faith in Jesus Christ produces the work of justification in the believer. Further, we believe that, owing to universal spiritual death through sin, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless born of the Spirit. We also believe that solely the shed blood of our Jesus Christ, who died as our substitute, has accomplished our redemption.

The Walk of the Believer

We believe that a continuous walk in grace should be the emphasis of heart righteousness and purity, believing in the keeping power of God, walking after the Spirit and not after the flesh, in conduct that demonstrates the character of Jesus Christ, not being conformed to the world, but being transformed by the renewing of the mind. We further believe that each believer must lay a foundation of Biblical truth and experience upon which he builds his life.

Through relationship with Jesus Christ, these foundation stones are established in the new birth and include repentance from dead works, faith toward God, the doctrine of baptisms, lying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (Romans 4:1-5, 8:25, 12:1; I Corinthians 3:11; Galatians 5:16-25; Hebrews 6:1-2; Jude 24).

The Doctrine of Baptisms

We believe that the New Testament teaches at least three baptisms. First, there is the baptism whereby the repentant sinner, upon trusting Jesus Christ as his Savior, is baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ. (I Corinthians 12:13).

Second, there is water baptism by immersion for believers only. This we believe to be an ordinance of the church, whereby the believer experiences the reality of co-crucifixion and co-resurrection with Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 6:3-6).

Third, there is the filling of baptism of the Holy Spirit by Jesus Christ, which may occur at or subsequent to conversion. We believe that speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance is a normative evidence of this baptism. Further, we believe that by the believer's continued yielding to the Holy Spirit his very weakness is transformed into strength to witness for Jesus Christ in power and to live according to the will of God. (Acts 1:5, 8, 2:4, 38, 10:46, 11:28, 19:6).

Divine Healing

We believe in divine healing for the whole man through sufferings of Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; Acts 4:30, 19:11; I Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14; I Peter 2:24-25).

The Church

We believe that all who are united by the new birth to Jesus Christ are members of the universal Church, the body of Christ. We also believe that the local congregation of Christian believers is divinely instituted and is the chosen instrument of God for the furtherance of God's work upon the earth.

Worship

We believe that the whole purpose of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Therefore, we believe in the act of worshipping God with one's total being as set forth in the Holy Scriptures. (Psalm 150; Mark 12:29-31; Ephesians 5:18-21).

Ministers to the Church

We believe in the divinely called, commissioned and equipped five-fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers as given to the Church by Jesus Christ after His ascension. We further believe that all Christians are called to be ambassadors for Christ and that all believers have been given the ministry of reconciliation. (Ephesians 4:11-13; II Corinthians 5:20).

Laying on of Hands

We believe in the doctrine of the laying on of hands for:

  1. the confirming of believers to commitment and ministry in the local church,
  2. the confirming of one's call by God to special ministry in the local church (Acts 13:1,3),
  3. the imparting of spiritual gifts (I Timothy 4:14; II Timothy 1:6),
  4. the experiencing of the infilling of the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:17-18),
  5. the ministering of healing of the sick through the Jesus Christ (Mark 16:16), and
  6. the blessing and dedicating of children to the (Mark 10:16).

We further believe that, in obedience to the Holy Scriptures, we should lay hands on no man suddenly, but that the laying on of hands confirms a ministry, which is already observable and has been proven. (I Timothy 5:22).

Evangelism and Missions

We believe that it is the explicit message of Jesus Christ to those whom He has redeemed, that they are sent forth by Him into the world to be witnesses of His saving grace and that their primary purpose in life should be to glorify God by obedience to Jesus Christ's command to preach the Gospel to every creature.

The Restoration of All Things

We believe that all that was lost by the Fall is now being restored by Jesus Christ in and through His Church and that there will be total and ultimate restoration of all things by Jesus Christ. (Daniel 7:14; Acts 3:21; Revelation 21:1-5).
