Our Values

·        We, at Powerhouse, see each person saved or unsaved as a valuable and unique person whom God loves and wants as His own. We recognize our own need for mercy and desire to extend that to others.

• We desire to express the compassion that Jesus had for the poor, the sick, the oppressed, the widow, the orphans, the neglected and those who are held captive to the evil of this world.

• We desire to bring hope and purpose to each person's life by presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe all people have a need for salvation.

• We feel it is important for each person to grow in Christian maturity. We, therefore, will provide opportunities to disciple through the teaching of the Word, worship and fellowship with other believers.

• We desire for the Kingdom of God (God's will) to rule over the kingdom of darkness in every life that is affected by the pain and evils of this world. Therefore we provide Biblical counseling and prayer for healing physical, emotional and spiritual hurts and difficulties.

• Because we believe that God's message of salvation contained in the gospel is the only hope we have to offer to those we are trying to serve, we require volunteers to have an ongoing, personal relationship with the only one who can heal and help those in need - Jesus Christ.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

I.                   We believe that there is one living and true God eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit equal in power and glory and that He created, upholds and governs all.

II.                 We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ con­ceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. We believe in His miracles, His sinless life, His teachings, His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and His visible, physical return to earth to judge the living and the dead.

III.              We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit: baptizing, indwelling and empowering the believer for the exercise of Biblical gifts and the living of a sanctified life of love and service.

IV.              We believe in the Bible, consisting of the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testament, as fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and as the infallible rule for faith and practice.

V.                We believe to be saved from eternal condemnation, a person must be born again by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ: repent of his sins, receive forgiveness and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

VI.              We believe in the one universal church as the living spiritual body of which Jesus Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are the members.
