• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only, infallible, inerrant, authoritative Word of God.

• We believe in the One True God, The Sovereign, eternal Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen. God is eternally existent in three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

• We believe God created mankind in His image. Adam and Eve, the first human beings, chose to rebel against God and go their own way. As a result, all of mankind became separated from God; the image of God in man was distorted; mankind became subject to the power of the devil; and the sinful nature was passed on to all their progeny. Because of original sin, unregenerate human beings are incapable of pleasing or commending themselves to God. The only remedy for mankind’s pitiful predicament is redemption through faith in Jesus Christ.

• We believe when a person exercises saving faith in Christ he passes, immediately, out of spiritual death into spiritual life and from the old creation into the new, a new nature and a new heart imparted; being justified freely by grace, he is accepted before the Father as Christ, His Son, is accepted and loved as Christ is loved–having his place and portion linked to Christ and one with Christ – forever.

• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

• We believe in the resurrection of, both, the saved and the lost–they who are saved unto the resurrection of life and they who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

• - Modeled after the Wild at Heart website, couldn't have put it any clearer, so why would we?

We are seeing REVIVAL in the Pacific Northwest… the personal, regional, and global expansion of God's kingdom through His manifest presence, and we want to participate, not half-heartedly, but all-in, being radically obedient to what the Holy Spirit is directly us to do (ie. the will of the Father).

• 1. Our first ministry is to God, therefore we worship with extravagant joy & gratitude for His saving grace and faithfulness.

• 2. We know that marriage is the manifest example of the Trinity and our passion is to assist in whatever way we can to drive the divorce rate from 50% back toward zero.

• 3. Captives break our hearts, so we intend to do whatever we can to wake up and activate both Believers and the Saved, first freeing them, then resourcing them with tools that will empower their full and abundant lives as disciples.

• 4. Maintaining a Kingdom perspective is paramount. Marketplace Ministry & bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth are our primary objectives.

There's a big difference between being a "Believer" or being "Saved" and being a "Disciple". Satan wholeheartedly believes in God and in Jesus Christ. There's no doubt in Satan's mind that Jesus is real, that Jesus died for the sins of mankind to reconcile man to God and that Jesus is coming again. Satan believes what the Bible says as well, he knows it's infallible and true and that it foretells of Jesus' second coming and Satan's final and eternal defeat.

Given that, being a Believer is not a big deal, there are a lot of believers. Being "Saved" from eternal damnation and guaranteed an eternal life, co-existent with the Creator God in Heaven... now that's a big deal! However, even in that, there's a big difference between being "Saved" and being a "Disciple".

There are a lot of Saved people that have their "fire insurance and are sitting waiting at the bus stop for Jesus to make his second coming so they can be taken home. That is not what God intended, nor why He sent Jesus to pay an incredible price to illustrate to us what walking with God is supposed to look like.

Being a Disciple of Jesus Christ means that you follow Him, watch Him, listen to Him, learn from Him and model Him and do everything that He did. Jesus set His divine nature aside and walked on earth as a man. He walked a sinless life, lock step with the Holy Spirit, and only did what He saw the Father do. Disciples do likewise.

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is the essence of life and the key to living out a full and abundant life. It's what Jesus promises in John 10:10 (ESV)

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

So what is Our Focus... to assist Believers ensuring that they are truly Saved, and to help the Saved embrace the full and abundant life by becoming Disciples.

Most of the world is being held captive by either their unbelief or their fear. Our Focus is to set the captives free.

All that we do is commited to the Glory of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and to the honor and glorification of our loving Father in heaven that created us. All praise and honor and glory to Him.

Amen.
