On one of our outreaches in Coney Island NY, joined in prayer.
Our God-given vision
is to build an Apostolic Community of believers modeled after the New
Testament Church. (The book of Acts and
Eph. 2:19-21).
Consequently,
you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with
Gods people and members of Gods household, built on the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself
as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together
and rises to become
a holy temple in the Lord.
Eph. 2:19-21 NIV
And in the
church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third
teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing,
those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and
those speaking in different kings of tongues.
1 Cor. 12:28 NIV
This
is the Order of anointings God has established to govern his body. Our
vision is to restore a biblical five fold church order where everyone
is recognized for their gifts, (anointings), and the Priesthood for
all believers becomes the pattern.
I. We are committed to Evangelize the unsaved reach the lost for
Jesus Christ. (Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8)
II. We are then committed to making Disciples of those converts, (Matthew
28:19). By that we mean:
a. Teaching them the truths of Gods Word;
b. Being an instrument of Healing (body, soul and spirit), and through
these (teaching and healing), to guide and enable them to grow into
the image and likeness of Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:29; Ephesians 4:13).
c. to Prepare Gods people for the work of the ministry,
Training and Equipping those disciples for Service in the Kingdom
of God (1 Corin. 12:7, 27-28,Eph. 4:11-12).
III. We are called and therefore committed to be an instrument of Gods
grace, bringing Unity and peace to the body of Christ Universal (John
17:20-23; Ephesians 4:3-4; Psalms 133:1,3)
This is the vision
(the means) by which we at New Jerusalem City Church are called to fulfill
our Purpose (ultimate goal) of Glorifying God by being conformed to
the likeness of Gods Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:28-29; Ephesians
3:21; 1 John 2:6; Galatians 5:22; 1 John 3:2; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 2 Corinthians
3:18)
