| The inception for the Church was in January 2000, when God gave then, Evangelist Smith a vision for “The Church” which she then founded and organized in February of 2001. In 2004 Pastor Smith began Bible Study and Ministerial courses in her home and on August 7th, 2005, the vision was birthed. “The Church” shall find and do the will of God through the leadership of His Holy Spirit in compliance with the whole counsel of His to be presented in Christ, and in preparing “The Church” to become the pure and spotless bride for whom Christ is soon returning. "The Church" is a non-denominational Church; we are an Apostolic Pentecostal Church. We are Apostolic because of the teachings (Doctrine) of Jesus Christ to the Apostles; and Pentecostal because of the Pentecostal experience (in filling of the Holy Ghost) on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:4). The plan of salvation is the new birth; being born of the water (Acts 2:38, 4:12) and of the Spirit (Acts 2:4) is summed up in Luke 24:44-49. "The Church" is dedicated to reaching and the discipleship of un-reached and un-Churched people through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as providing a Christian venue for children, young people and young adults and the elderly, so as to build the individual and families and empower Believers. Through our Gilgal Ministerial Courses "The Church" provides mentoring in Ministry classes, ministerial licensing and ordination courses which prepares ministers and lay-people (the laity) for the work of the ministry. “The Church” extends her arms to people of all ages as well as from all walks of life. |
