Jesus plus nothing. The Word of God minus nothing.
Jesus plus nothing. The Word of God minus nothing.
We believe the Church is a people, where God dwells in undeniable, tangible, and life-changing ways. Whenever we gather, we prioritize the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our focus. Worship is not just a ‘warm-up’ for the preacher; it is integral to our service. We expect signs and wonders and believe that revival is inevitable. The human heart was made to burn with the fire of God’s love and power!
We aim to record every Sunday gathering to share with you as various members of the body speak about what God is revealing.

Recently as a church, we took part in a prayer and fasting event that was entitled “It’s time to move”. Exodus 40:36-37 “Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up”.
The cloud has been moving and we have to move with it too. God is up to something and it is evident. Two weeks ago, we met at Oropi Memorial Hall and during the prayer meeting, Kristen shared something God told him on his way up to the hall “Ready or not.” The prayer meeting was intertwined with the unmistakable sense of The Holy Spirit and things began to get shaken up. The prayer meeting overflowed into the meeting and all plans went out the window and we followed where The Holy Spirit was leading. There was no recording of that Sunday.
This past Sunday we met at Matua Hall and Holy Spirit was all over it once again. The message that was prepared for Resurrection Sunday was not spoken, but Kristen spoke where The Spirit led. This recording is timely and accurate for where the church finds herself today. God is up to something, like the disciples, when Jesus called them, they dropped everything and followed Him. We are doing the same. The cloud is moving, and it’s time to move.

NOT SINCE JESUS HAS THE ENEMY FEARED ANYONE LIKE HE DOES THESE SELFLESS MESSENGERS OF POWER. Just as he tried to destroy Moses and Jesus by killing the children, his present onslaught through abortion, drugs and disease is a desperate attempt to destroy these before they can mature.
