Our Mission
The mission of the Church of God of Prophecy is to bear witness for
Christ and His truth and to spread the gospel of the Kingdom in all
its fullness and power, so that the rule of God is brought about in
the hearts of men.
Our Objectives
In order to accomplish our mission we will pursue four primary
objectives
- Worship God
- Evangelize the lost
- Equip believers
- Prepare for Christ's return
Salvation
Who will deliver us? The Lord is my rock and my fortress and
my deliverer; 2 Samuel 22:2
Who can be saved? And it shall come to pass, That whoever
calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Joel 3:5 What
must we do when we receive salvation?
Then Peter said to them, "Repent and let every one of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;
and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
