ABOUT US
We are a Christian ministry in Metro Detroit that believes that during times of crisis, the united body of Christ – through repentance, fasting, prayer, and proclaiming the Gospel – is God's solution for turning the crisis and releasing God's mercy.
Through our values we want to mobilize the body of Christ to not only unite for a one time event, but to help turn entire cities and regions to the Lord. We believe the resulting impact is regional crises turned around, increased salvations, stronger families, and believers united like never before.

What We Believe
We believe and accept the entire Bible as the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. It is the only and perfect order of our faith and manner of living. This faith is the power of God unto salvation to the believer. The Bible is superior to conscience and reason. Nothing can be added or taken away from its content.
2 Pet 1:20; 2 Tim 3:16,17; Rom 1:16
We believe in the One True God, perfect and infinite in His being, holiness, love, wisdom and power. He is transcendent above the world as its Creator, yet immanent in the world as the Preserver of all things. God is self-existent and self- revealing in the three divine Persons of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are equal in power, glory and nature.
Eph 4:6, Matt 28:19, Acts 5:3-5, John 1:1, Isa 6:1-1, Psa 90
We believe that the historical Jesus of Nazareth is the eternal Son of God, and Messiah. He is the image of the invisible God made flesh through the virgin birth. Being true God and true man these two natures are without confusion, without change, without division and without separation.
He lived a sinless life in which He taught and wrought mighty works, wonders and signs exactly as revealed in the four Gospels. He gave Himself in death upon the Cross as the Lamb of God not only for original sin imputed to man, but also for the actual sins of man. He bore sin and its penalty in our stead.
After three days Jesus was raised and glorified in the same body in which He had suffered and died. He ascended as our Lord and Savior into Heaven and is at the right hand of the Father where He is head of the Church and intercedes for believers.
Jesus Christ will come again personally and visibly to raise and translate His waiting Church. He shall establish His Kingdom upon the earth over all nations. He will raise and judge those both alive and dead.
John 1:14; Acts 1:11; Heb 1:1-4; Rev 19-21; 1 Cor 15:24-28
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, the divine Life-giver and Artist in creation, history and redemption. He indwells, baptizes, seals, empowers, guides, teaches and perfects all those who become children of God through Christ.
Acts 1:8, 5:3-5; John 14,16; Eph 4:30; Rom 8
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ. Jesus was a perfect sacrifice for sin. He redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. Therefore on the simple and single ground of His shed blood we are saved and justified. Perfect righteousness and every spiritual blessing needed for life and godliness are entirely apart from good works, baptism, Church membership or man's effort. The forgiveness of sins, the impartation of a new nature, the adoption into the family of God and the hope of eternal life are all received through the grace of God.
Eph 2:3-10; Rom 3:25; 2 Cor 5:21; Eph 1:7; 1 John 1:7
The believer is assured of his/her salvation by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. The outward evidence is a progressive life of righteousness and true holiness in confession and action. Godly love is the identifying mark of the Christian life.
Rom 10:9-10; Heb 12:14; 1 Tim 2:2; Rom 5:5; Rom 8:16
We believe the true Church of Christ is both a universal and local body of Christians that exists inter-denominationally but consists exclusively of those persons who through the New Birth are in Christ. The Church has been divinely commissioned as a holy priesthood to offer true worship to God. As ambassadors of His Kingdom it is called to show mankind the way of the Lord.
