"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me…"
We believe that the world owes loyal and joyful obedience to Christ in every sphere of its existence. Consequently, we desire for Christ to be LORD over all things — in our lives, in our church, in our county, and in our world.
"Of the increase of His government and of peace there will be no end."
Worship Means War…
Renewed in Christ, So the World Can Be Renewed
"…when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named…He put all things under His feet and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fulness of Him who fills all in all."
Ephesians 1:20–23
"But God…made us alive together with Christ — by grace you have been saved — and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus…"
Ephesians 2:5–6
When the body of Christ gathers, we are ushered into the heavenly presence of God to renew our covenant with Him — and by doing so, we bring heavenly realities to bear upon the earth. We gather to worship so that He can equip us to engage in the cosmic struggle in the heavenly places — a struggle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. We gather together to be renewed in Christ so that the world can be renewed through the church.
