About Us
"God's plan from the beginning was to form a family. That is the WHOLE purpose of CHURCH, to be a family, with Father God at the head!"
- Dr. Lyrica Joy SmithINTO ALL THE WORLD,
ALL THE GOSPEL,
WITH ALL OUR HEART!
OUR MISSION AND VISION:
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even until the end of the world”
Matthew 28:19-20
Jesus told us to teach all things that he taught which would be the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. The apostles taught the Kingdom and Christ crucified, and so will The International Church for All Nations!
STATEMENT OF FAITH:
The following comprise the Scriptural beliefs of the congregation (church) and its ambassadors (covenant members).
(A)The Holy Scriptures. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed and, therefore, are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21).

The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21).(B) The Godhead. We believe in the oneness of God, eternally existing as The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit – each co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections. (Gen. 1:26a; Lk. 1:35; Jn. 14:10-11a, 26; John 3:34; Col. 2:9).
(C) The Person and Works of the Father. We believe that the Father is eternal, all knowing, all wise, The Great I AM. That He is the only true God. That He is the sustainer and that He is such a sustainer and provider that He even provided His only begotten Son, He is a sovereign God. (Acts 5:30-32; Phil 2:9-13; Is 53:10; Lk.12:32; John 6:37-40; John 14:10).
(D) The Person and Works of Christ.
a.We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men. (Is. 7:14, 9:6; Lk. 1:28 & 35; 1 John 4:9-10; Matt. 1:18, 21 & 23; John 1:1-2 & 14).
b.We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and that our justification is made sure by His literal and physical resurrection from the dead. (Gal. 4:4-5; John 3:16; 2 Cor. 5:19-21; Phil. 2:5-8; Rev. 12:5; Eph. 1:7; Rom. 3:24-25; 1 Pet. 2:24; 1 Pet. 1:3-5; Rom. 6:23).

(Gal. 4:4-5; John 3:16; 2 Cor. 5:19-21; Phil. 2:5-8; Rev. 12:5; Eph. 1:7; Rom. 3:24-25; 1 Pet. 2:24; 1 Pet. 1:3-5; Rom. 6:23).(E) The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the work of The Holy Spirit is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the Body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. (Acts 2:1-4; John 14:26; Titus 3:5; Eph. 1: 13-14; Acts 1:7-8).
(F) The Total Depravity of Man. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God; but that in Adam’s sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Man is totally depraved and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition. (Gen. 1:26-27; Eph. 2:1-3; Rom. 3:22-23 & 5:12; Eph. 4:17-19).
(G) Salvation. We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of all sins. The Scriptures state that you must be born again of The Holy Spirit which is the regeneration experience. We believe that all sins, except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, are forgivable. (Rom. 3:24; John 11:25; Rom. 8:1-12; John 1:12; Eph. 1:7 & 2:8-10; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; 1 John 1:9; Matt. 12:31-32).
(H) The Eternal Security and Assurance of Believers.
a.We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. (John 6:37-40 & 10:27-30; Rom. 8 whole chapter; 1 Cor. 1:4-8; 1 John 5:11-12).
We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God’s power and are thus secure in Christ forever. (John 6:37-40 & 10:27-30; Rom. 8 whole chapter; 1 Cor. 1:4-8; 1 John 5:11-12).b.We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God’s Word, which, however, clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh. (Rom. 13:13-14; Rom. 6:1-4; Gal. 5:13).

The Church. a.We believe that the Church, which is the Body and the espoused bride of Christ, is solely made up of born-again persons, that is through The Holy Spirit, having experienced regeneration. (2 Cor. 11:2; Eph.1:22-23 & 5:25-27; 1 Cor. 6:15; Rom. 12:4-5).

(2 Cor. 11:2; Eph.1:22-23 & 5:25-27; 1 Cor. 6:15; Rom. 12:4-5).b.We believe that the Apostolic establishment and continuance of local congregations (churches) is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures. (1 Pet. 5:1-4; Matt. 22:9; Acts 14:23-27 & 5:27-29; 1 Cor. 11:23-26).
We believe that the Apostolic establishment and continuance of local congregations (churches) is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament Scriptures. (1 Pet. 5:1-4; Matt. 22:9; Acts 14:23-27 & 5:27-29; 1 Cor. 11:23-26).(J) Missions. We believe that God has given the Church a Great Commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. As ambassadors of Christ we must use all available means to go to all people and foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us. (Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 5:20).
(K)Giving. We believe that every believer, as a steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to him is obligated to support his local congregation (church) financially. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving, but that every believer should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of the congregation (church), the relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel. (Gen. 14:20; Exod. 23:19a; Prov. 3:9-10; Mal 3:10; Acts 4:34-37; 1 Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 9:6-7; Gal. 6:6; Eph.4:28; 1 Tim. 5:17-18; 1 John 3:17).

DUTIES OF AN AMBASSADOR
On becoming an ambassador of this congregation (church) and the Body of Christ at large (Church), each one further covenants to love, honor and esteem one another. To support through a lifestyle walk affirming the beliefs and practices of The Christ.
AUTHORITY OF STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final source of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that the foregoing Statement of Faith accurately represents the teaching of the Bible and, therefore, is for all ambassadors. All literature used in the congregation (church) shall be in complete agreement with the Statement of Faith.
