WHAT WE BELIEVE

 

At Kingdom Come School of Missions & Ministry we are "Orthodox" in our theology

drawing from the foundations provided by Polycarp, Ignatius, Tertullian,

Cyprian, Augustine, and other Apostolic and Early Church Fathers.

We embrace without reservation the great creeds of the historic Christian

Church to include the Apostolic Creed of 390 AD, the Nicene Creed

of 325, the Athanasian Creed of the early 5th century,

and the Chalcedon of 451 AD.

 

We are "Reformed" in our doctrine accepting the great theological

reforms of the 16th and 17th centuries through Luther,

Calvin, Zwingli and the Puritan writers.

 

We are "Catholic" in our immovable conviction that the Church

of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the world is the one Holy and Apostolic

Church being "the one body with one Spirit, one Lord and one faith."

Consequently, all Christian leaders and churches have a common

purpose to work cooperatively to reach the world for Christ.

 

We are "Evangelical" in our doctrinal adherence to the authority

of Scripture, the deity of Christ, and salvation through

faith in the atoning work of Christ.

 

We are "Charismatic" in our worship and ministry, partaking of

the power of the Holy Spirit and exercising the biblical gifts which are

given to the Church. Through the empowering work of the

Holy Spirit, we zealously reach out to our community and the world

by demonstrating the compassion of Christ and offering His

Gospel of salvation, hope and restoration.

 

We are "Christological" in our belief that the Lord Jesus Christ

is central in our worship and Christian practices. We proclaim Jesus

to be Lord of our Lives, the Head of His Church and King of His

Kingdom. We proclaim Jesus to be the Lord of all things.

 

We are "Incarnational" in our theology, not that we are Christ, but that

Christ is in us and we are in the world reaching the lost, continuing

His word and demonstrating His kingdom on earth.

 

We are "Covenantal" in our theology believing that full
partnership with God in accomplishing His purposes on earth is
possible only through our response to His covenant. God's covenant
with His people is dramatized in the Old Testament through
human experience and is ratified in the New Testament
through the atoning work of Christ.
 
We are "Restorational" in our practical theology knowing
that the central work of God as recorded in both the Old and New
Testament is restoring man, the earth, and the universe from the
corruption of evil back to God's original plan and purpose.
 
We are "Prophetic" and "Apostolic" in our beliefs that God is
presently moving in the church bringing the restoration of the
five-fold ministry gifts. We believe that the present restoration of
the Prophet and the Apostle will bring about a release of the
saints of God to manifest His kingdom in the earth.
 
We are "Present Truth" in our belief that God is progressively
restoring truth to the Church today. This progressive restoration
can be traced from the Reformation, when men realized that
"the just shall live by faith," to this century when men are learning
about the active role of the Holy Spirit in the earth today.
 
We are "Kingdom" in our theology believing that the
central issue and concern of God in Scripture is His righteous
rule in heaven and on earth. Since the Kingdom of God was the major
subject preached and taught by Christ during His earthly ministry
and after His resurrection, the Church, therefore, is the
embassy of the Kingdom of God on earth and must
proclaim Christ as both Savior and Lord of all.
 
We are "Dominon" people in our theology believing that
the Kingdom of God is manifest on earth as His people embrace
the Dominion Mandate and the Great Commission as found
in the Scriptures. We believe that biblical Kingdom
dominion is comprehensive and progressive,
including every area of life.
