Who We Are
Senior Pastor, JESUS CHRIST
HE is both Savior and Leader of the Church, which is HIS body (Ephesians 5:23). In every part of our hearts, our lives and our ministries HE gives us directions and we follow HIM (John 10:27). We are continually mindful that HE is The Great and Good Shepherd (John 10:14, 1 Peter 5:4) WHO purchased the Church of GOD with HIS own blood (Acts 20:28), as such the body of believers is HIS and HIS alone (Psalm 79:13, Psalm 95:7, Psalm 100:3).
Associate Pastors, Tribal Ministers
Some of us have been called by our Leader JESUS CHRIST as under-shepherds or overseers of HIS flock (John 21:15-17, 1 Peter 5:2-3, 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:7-9). We submit ourselves to HIM (Ephesians 5:24) and we are called to:
- To feed HIS sheep (Jeremiah 15:16, Malachi 2:7, (1 Timothy 4:6 )
- To guard His sheep (2 Chronicles 19:6-7, Acts 20:28, Colossians 4:17)
- To diligently watch over them (Isaiah 56:10, Isaiah 62:6-7, Jeremiah 31:6, Ezekiel 3:17-21, 1 Peter 5:2)
- To be an example not a taskmaster (Ezekiel 34:4, 1 Peter 5:3)
- To sustain the one standing (1 Samuel 23:16, Job 16:5, Zephaniah 3:16-17, Ecclesiastes 4:10, Luke 21:31-32, Acts 11:23, 1 Thessalonians 3:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Hebrews 3:13)
- To strengthen the weak and sickly (Job 4:3-4, Psalm 119:50, Isaiah 35:3-6, Zechariah 10:12, 1 Thessalonians 5:14)
- To care for the wounded (Psalm 51:13, Matthew 9:36, Galatians 6:1, James 5:19-20, Jude 1:22-23)
- To seek the lost and scattered (Ezekiel 34:16, Jeremiah 23:22, Zechariah 10:2, Matthew 18:15, Matthew 23:13)
We fully understand that if we do not properly shepherd HIS sheep they will be required at our hands (Ezekiel 34:7-10).
Members, The Body of Christ
We are one body with many members, called to do different functions (Romans 12:4-5, 1 Corinthians 12:12). We are all necessary and valuable to the body of CHRIST for equipping and serving others (Romans 12:5-8, 1 Corinthians 12:14-26, Ephesians 4:11-13) as well as expanding HIS Kingdom throughout the world (Luke 10:2, Romans 10:13-15, Romans 15:20-21).
