OUR PASTOR
After serving on leadership at Immanuel Christian Church for 3 years, Bazil and Simone and family relocated to Salt Rock from the Umhlanga Rocks community to plant a new church in March 2009.
We were sent out with resources, a wonderful team of people and finances, to set us up.
In line with a prophetic word (God will send you to a place, and speak to you about a man, who will lay hands on you and everything will be different) I went to the Glory and Grace conference in Hong Kong with Rob and Glenda Rufus & Fini and Isi De Gersigny that March. The prophesy was fulfilled! I personally received revelation about the grace and goodness of our Heavenly Father and I can say that everything has been different.
It has been a breathtaking adventure knowing Dad is so pleased with me all the time and very exciting to share the amazing good news (gospel) of the Happy God (1 Tim 1:11) with everyone who wants to hear.
OUR CHURCH
"For freedom Christ has set us free" Gal 5:1
We love Jesus and are amazed at the glorious freedom He has brought us into and His unending goodness towards usWe love the Holy Spirit His Presence, His powerWe welcome the Father's Glory and are seeing increasing measures of His manifest Presence among us
We believe:
-
God is The Happy God (1 Tim 1:11) and He loves us tremendously and is pleased with us all the time.
-
In His Goodness and Love and Mercy, He dealt with all our sin, removing it from us as far as East is from the West. (Ps 103:12/ Zech 3:9)
-
We are the righteousness of God (in Christ) and that we receive the free gift of righteousness by faith. It is not our own righteousness, but it has been provided for us by Jesus perfect obedience on our behalf. It is received by faith. (2 Cor 5:21/ Rom 5:17/ Phil 3:9)
-
We need not work to please God anymore, because He is totally pleased and satisfied with us. We can now enter into the Hebrews 4 rest that was promised to us.
-
We believe in the new creation (John 3:3). We have been given a new nature and all good works are a fruit of our faith in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. (2 Cor 5:17/ Gal 6:15)
-
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ and this is not dependent on our works (outward behavior) (Rom 8:1)
-
We are more than conquerors in this life because of what has been freely given to us. (Rom 8:37; 2 Peter1:34)
-
A tree bears fruit after its own kind We are in Christ and bear fruit accordingly This fruit grows effortlessly and requires no work. (1 John 5:18; John 15:5)
-
God has given gifts to the church for her growth and maturity. Leadership is for the purpose of bringing revelation, strengthening and encouragement and keeping believers free (For freedom Christ has set us free Gal 5:1)
-
Apostles and prophets are gifts to the church and we seek and maintain relationship and friendship with these gifts outside our local church.
-
Jesus is the Head of the church! (not any man)
We worship extravagantly!
Our testimony is "look what God has done”!
