VISION PHRASE

  • Come Discover, Go Recover
Vision Statement
  • To restore, equip and empower people from all walks of life to fulfill their destiny and kingdom mandate, to influence others for Christ
Vision
  • We envision a multicultural gathering of believers with a passion to exalt Jesus in all we do.
  • We see ourselves as a relevant church with a radical message of transformation and empowerment found in Jesus Christ.
  • We are passionate about restoration .....uniting people to God and exposing them to their God-given potential.
  • We see ourselves as a center of excellence in our communities - restoring, affirming, growing up,  growing big, growing together, and achieving together.
  • We want to see believers empowered to achieve their dreams and be influential leaders in their sphere of influence.

MISSION

  • Releasing Potential in People by Connecting them to God


PURPOSE

  • Populate the Kingdom of God as Jesus commissioned us to do
OUR MESSAGE
  • In All Nations LSC we preach the whole counsel of God. This message is so vital that it is able to make ordinary people change and become productive and purposeful in life and influence their families, communities, nations and generation.

  • We believe God, the creator of all things, created Adam and Eve as perfect people to give Him worship as the King and gave them dominion or rule over all the earth, as an extension of His Kingdom. The first couple lost dominion over the earthly kingdom through disobedience and inherited a sinful nature that brought them alienation from God.

  • Anyone born with the seed of a man is sinful by nature. God is the source of all life and sin is separation from God, and as the result of sin is death - alienation from God both now and in eternity. Humans become self-centered and self-seeking, turning the worship that should belong to God inward upon themselves or upon some other created object. Every conceivable sin finds its origin in the condition of man as sinner.

  • God promised to restore man to His original place but could not simply restore the kingdom back to man because man gave it willingly and legally away to the devil (the father of all disobedience).

  • Jesus, who is fully God, had come down from heaven as a man (born of a virgin, without the seed of a man therefore without sin) so that he will reconcile man to God and restore the lost authority back to man. Thus Jesus came back preaching the kingdom (reintroduced) and conferring it on us.

  • This means if we accept the kingdom message about Christ's work of salvation and reconcile with God, He makes available to us salvation from sin, abundance of life and hope for the future. We receive back our citizenship in the Kingdom of God and all the rights and privileges therein.

  • This is not theoretical nor a religion but practical life style that demonstrates the truth of a King, His Kingdom, His kids and keys to His treasury. To them that believe, God gives righteousness, dominion, prosperity, peace, joy and hope for the future.


BELIEFS

We believe in...

God
Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal, coequal, co-substantial and of equal dignity and power.
Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:21-22

The Bible
The inspiration of the whole Bible as God's infallible revelation to humanity
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21

Salvation of Man
Although man was created in the image of God, he fell into sin and is lost. This is true of all men; and except a man is born again by the Holy Spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Genesis 1:26-27; John 3:3; Romans 3:10, 23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12; Romans 5:11

Jesus Christ
His Deity, virgin birth, sinless humanity, substitutionary death, atoning blood, bodily resurrection and ascension to heaven
Luke 1:26-35, 1Cor 15:3-8

Holy Spirit
The need to live a life that expresses gratitude to God and demonstrates His transforming power through the enablement of the Holy Spirit
Acts 2:1-4, Philippians 4:4-8

Church
The one true Church, the body of Christ, consisting of all believers regardless of race or social standing
Acts 10:34-35, Ephesians 3:6

The Kingdom
The Kingdom of God is the rule of God both in the heavens and the earth. We believe that the kingdom is here and now. The church which is the body of Christ has been called out by God to demonstrate the reality of the Kingdom's presence here on the earth
Luke 22:29

Communion
Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus Christ to remember his sacrifice for us and to symbolize the new covenant. The elements of bread and wine or juice are symbols of Christ's broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation. Rather, it is a testament of a believer's faith in the atoning work of the cross.
Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19:20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

Baptism
Baptism by immersion symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is your public declaration that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Baptism does not save you, but shows the world that you have already been saved. And while baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ
Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2: 8-9; Matthew 28:19-20

Bodily Return of Our Lord Jesus Christ
The personal bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ
Acts 1:9-11

Eternity
The resurrection of the body to eternal glory in heaven for all believers, and to everlasting punishment in hell for all unbelievers
Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 20:15
