Who We Are
Holy Ground Family Fellowship is about people. We are a Christian community bonded together in the faith by the power and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
OUR MISSION : We primarily exist to…
Express corporately and individually our love for God in order to serve the purposes of the church to worship;
Share and present the Bible to every person at his/her level of understanding so that they will be brought to a personal faith in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord both locally and to the nations of the world;
Disciple believers by teaching and encouraging each one to become more like Jesus Christ in every facet of their lives through knowledge, understanding and personal application of the Word;
Provide opportunities to develop and strengthen meaningful relationships and fellowships through small groups and different ministries;
Give each person opportunity to discover God’s purpose for his/her life, then equip and commission them for their unique services in the church and to those they touch in everyday life.
Our Vision :
“Families Connected To God And To Each Other“
What We Believe :
- WE BELIEVE… the scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
- WE BELIEVE… there is only one true GodÐrevealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
- WE BELIEVE… in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.
- WE BELIEVE… though originally good, man willingly fell to sinÐushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
- WE BELIEVE… that every person can have restored fellowship with god through ’salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior).
- WE BELIEVE… and practice two ordinancesÑ(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
- WE BELIEVE… the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
- WE BELIEVE… that the Initial Physical evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is Ôspeaking in tongues,Õ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the epistles.
- WE BELIEVE… that Sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.,
- WE BELIEVE… that the Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
- WE BELIEVE… that a divinely called and scripturally ordained Leadership Ministry serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of believersÐthe Church.
- WE BELIEVE… that Divine Healing of the sick is a privilege for christians today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
- WE BELIEVE… in the Blessed HopeÑwhen Jesus raptures his church prior to his return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
- WE BELIEVE… in the Millennial reign of Christ when jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.
- WE BELIEVE… A Final Judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
- WE BELIEVE…and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. ‘And so shall we forever be with the Lord!’
