Win the Lost at Any Cost!
Build One Church in Many Locations, Nationally and Internationally.
Mend the Nets, the Catch will be great.
To train and release every member for ministry, caring for, disciplining and evangelizing our community.
It is the dream of CRC to be an oasis of life in this city where the hurting, the depressed,
the sick, the frustrated and the confused can find love, acceptance,
help, hope, healing, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement.
It is our dream to feed the poor, to clothe the naked and to take care of orphans and widows.
It is the dream of CRC to effectively share the Good News of Jesus Christ with every man, woman and child.
It is the dream of CRC to welcome a tithe of our cities as members into the fellowship of our
Church family, loving, learning, laughing and living in harmony together
and fulfilling God's vision for us.
It is the dream of CRC to develop every incoming member to spiritual maturity, ministering to
the whole man (spirit, soul and body) through small groups, seminars,
retreats, bible studies and a Bible School for our members.
It is the dream of CRC to equip every member for significant ministry helping them discover the gifts and talents God has given them.
It is the dream of CRC to be a Lighthouse to the nations - a mission base regularly sending out missionaries to the four corners of the earth.
I confidently state that these dreams will become a reality because they are inspired by God.
We
believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, in their
original writing, as fully inspired of God and accept them as the
supreme and final authority for faith and life.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man.
We
believe that God created man in His own image; that man sinned and
thereby incurred the penalty of sin which is death physically and
spiritually; that all human beings inherit a sinful nature which issues
(in the case of those who reach moral responsibility) in actual
transgression involving personal guilt.
With
regards to sexual behaviour, we believe in heterosexual relationships
between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful
matrimony. Adherence to this stated principle of sexual behaviour is an
inherent requirement of membership of Christian Revival Church.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins - a substitution sacrifice - according to the
Scriptures and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds
of His shed blood.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus, His ascension into Heaven, and His present life as our High Priest and Advocate.
We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that all who repent of their sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We
believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping
believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the
Holy Spirit; and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the
divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and
Teacher.
With
regards to submission to authority, we believe in the principle of being
in authority because you are under authority. As such, it is understood
that membership shall be subject to submission to authority in matters
pertaining to church governance, doctrine and personal behavior.
We
believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal
blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who
have rejected the offer of salvation.
We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the local church on earth
should take its character from this concept of the Church spiritual and
therefore, that the new birth and personal confession of Christ are
essentials of church membership.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances‚ the Baptism in water and the Lord‚ the Supper
to be observed as acts of obedience and as perpetual witnesses to the
cardinal facts of the Christian faith, that
Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a confession of
identification with Christ in burial and resurrection and that the Lord‚
the Supper is the partaking of the emblems symbolic of the Saviour‚ the
broken body and shed blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death,
until he comes.
We believe that divine healing was provided for in the Old and New Testament and is an integral part of the Gospel.
We believe that the Bible
teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord.
We believe in
the doctrine of sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of
grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until the
consummation of salvation.
We
believe the Leadership of the local church has the authority from the
scriptures to withdraw the membership of any member for serious,
unrepentant misconduct or similar cause.
The Church is open to any further truth, which the Holy Spirit may illuminate from the Scriptures.
