The Message: The Good News That Jesus Came To Speak.

He came:

- To forgive our sins and reconcile us with God.

- To destroy the power of Satan and deliver people from bondage,

- To change hearts of stone to hearts of flesh.

- To treat people with compassion, mercy and justice, as God’s beloved creation.

- To love and invite followers to become The New People of God.

The Mission: The Good News That Jesus Came to Act Out.

He came:

- To be the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.

- To personally fight the deciding battle with Satan and triumph through the grave.

- To be physically authenticated as the Son of God through the power and shock of His  ressurection.

- To challenge the earthly principalities and powers through His ascension.

- To establish His Church as the New People of God on the Day of Pentecost.
