Important questions

A few questions worth exploring together.

For everyone

Who is the One God?

The Father. There is one God and Father of all, with one Lord, Jesus Christ, and one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4–6). How they work together →

For everyone

What is needed for salvation?

Five things:

  1. Repentance
  2. Faith
  3. Baptism in water
  4. Baptism in the Holy Spirit
  5. Perseverance
For those in Integration

What happens after you die?

Scripture has a clear and hopeful answer. We go through it carefully, in person, with people in the Integration stage.

For those in Integration

When will Jesus bring us to Heaven?

Scripture calls it the Last Trumpet, and Revelation lays the events out in order. It’s good news. We study it together with people in Integration. Are you ready for Jesus to come back?

The FIRM path

We help you grow, all the way to your calling.

Four stages take you from first steps to your ministry. Every believer receives at least one gift from the Holy Spirit, and a gift used faithfully becomes a ministry. That’s why “Ministries” is plural in our name.

Fundamentals

God’s Foundations: repentance, faith, baptism, and the doctrine of the Apostles.

Integration

Fellowship and communion with the Body, using your gifts, and growing in homes.

Realities

Spiritual young adulthood: knowing the Seven Realities and defending unity with love.

Ministries

Spiritual adulthood: plugged into a ministry that fits your gift.
