We believe that God created this world to build His Kingdom.  For the past six thousand years of human history, Satan has been working overtime deceiving many in an attempt to destroy that plan.  Adam was given the authority to establish the Kingdom of God through the “Principles of Family Life.”  His family should have been the first role model for others to pattern after—but when Adam disobeyed God, he lost his dominion.  Consequently—he could not rule his household, which is the foundation of the Kingdom of God.

 

Approximately 2000 years after the birth of Adam—Abram was born 1948 B.C.E. by most scholars’ accounts.  At the age of 75, he was called by God to establish a covenant by faith.  Having traveled from Babylon some years earlier with his father—he was currently living in Haran during this time.  God told him to leave his family and travel to the land of Canaan, (modern day Israel).  According to Genesis 12:1-3, Abram was told by God that “All of the families of the entire earth would be blessed by his covenant of faith.”  In keeping with His plan to establish His kingdom on earth through the family structure—Abraham picked up where Adam failed.  Abraham introduced the world to “Faith” in the one true and living God.  Moses expanded the covenant of Abraham in the form of the Law—and he was a bloodline descendant of Abraham, born within the Levitical tribe.

 

Approximately 2000 years after the birth of Abraham, Christ came to the world as the Son of man—through the lineage of Abraham as well.  He completed what could not be done through the Law because the Law came through the weakness of human flesh.  What Adam failed to do, and the Law of Moses could not do, was completed in Christ.  If you study carefully the structure of the church established by Christ and taught by His Apostles, you will see that the “Principles of Family Life” is inextricably linked to the message of salvation.  Christ taught agape love—and we have learned through His teachings that love is an action.  If a man cannot love his family, the loved ones that are closest to him—how can he say he loves God. (1 John 4:20)  

 

Let’s take a look at the fundamental structure of the New Testament Assembly:

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)”  (1 Timothy 3:2-5)

 

Currently it is 2000 years since Christ walked the earth— it is now time for His Church to use these principles in order to shift our culture back to the Kingdom message.  When the Church begins to have the “Discipleship” of new converts and the “Empowerment of Families” as its primary focus—She will set the tone for the next era in history. The competitive spirit that currently exists among too many ministries in cities across America and the world must cease. Once a genuine Kingdom connection is developed among true believers everywhere, this world will become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. Drugs and alcohol addiction, our current obsession with celebrities, violence and sexual perversion are simply the reflection of a spiritual deficit in our nation and the lack of strong family values.    

 

We seek to “Join Forces” with all ministries in our city that have the desire to see families restored on biblical principles and not redefining the family unit with human reasoning that is against the very nature of God.

 

As a Kingdom-Focused Ministry, we seek to empower our constituents through mentoring in the following areas:

 

• Healthy Marriages

• Singles Ministry

• Men’s Ministry

• Women’s Ministry

• Children and Teenage Ministry

• Divorce Recovery

• Finance and Wealth Building in order to alleviate poverty

• Health and Wellness

• Prayer at the local level and the public sphere

• Political Empowerment

• Ministry to the prisons and the homeless

• Home & Foreign Missions—and Evangelism strategies to reach the lost and those that have material needs

• And—Unity within the Body of Christ in the Charleston Tri-County area

 

                                      Through The Empowerment of the Holy Spirit—We Are Destined To I.M.P.A.C.T. Our City

 

IMPARTATION:  Imparting wisdom to the Body of Christ so that we will understand the Church shifting its focus to the Kingdom in the earth.

 

MOBILIZATION:  Mobilizing the Church across into spiritual warfare in order to tear down the strongholds over our cities.

 

PARTNERSHIP:  Partnering with like-minded individuals—churches—para-churches— and business organizations—that are already set in place in our cities by the Holy Spirit.

 

ALIGNMENT:  Aligning our thoughts—practices and vision on Christ—so that He will be the driving force behind all that we do as it relates to our relationships with fellow believers in the Kingdom of God.

 

COVENANT:  The biblical patriarch Abraham made a covenant with God—and he understood that the agreement was not just for himself—but that there was a third party beneficiary.  All of the families of the earth would be blessed through him.  We seek Covenant relationships with all believers in our city.

 

TRANSFORMATION:  We have been called and chosen by the Holy Spirit to be salt and light to an unseasoned and blind culture in order to transform our world—one individual—family—community—and city at a time.
