The mission of the “Church” throughout the years has been to proclaim the love of God to the entire world, Baptize the ones who believe, and teach them how to live out the Holy Bible (Which is “discipleship”) The “Great Commission” is the instructions of Jesus to “His Church” to preach the good news of God’s Love to everyone. All these actions of God’s love toward mankind reflect the true nature of God, because “God Is Love”!

Transforming Power Statements:
1) God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit have eternally existed and have always been of the true essences of “perfect love”; even when the original parents of mankind Adam and Eve were created by God in His “triune” fashion: “Body Soul and Spirit” which are attributes that have never been possessed by Angels!
2) When the devil “introduced / seduced” the evil concept of “Sin” to Eve it was an act of “Hate” that produced the seed of “sin” immediately when Adam chose to indulge himself willfully, which caused all people to be born in sin, except Jesus Christ, who by the plan of God His Father would be born without sin to pay the penalty for everyone who believes in Him, which also restores the believer to proper fellowship with God and other believers.
3) As we preach this good news to all, each one who believes this Gospel is “born again” from above and then can embrace the power of restored fellowship with God through His Son Jesus and also through His Body “The Church” and come to understand more each day that God Is Love!
