A World Wide People With A World Wide Vision
We are a church with a vision... the Lord's vision. Habakkuk 2:2 says, "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it." (NKJV) If the Lord is leading you here, we hope you will catch the vision - "To plant churches that will help God's people grow to their full potential in Christ through anointed worship, balanced Bible-teaching, ministry training, and world outreach." We are committed to actively winning souls, making disciples, and training leaders to extend God's Kingdom. If you are serious about being all you can be for the Lord, Anointed Word is the place for you.

We Believe
. The Bible is God's inspired Word.
. There is one God who is the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
. Salvation of man is by the grace of God that comes through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ and no other.
. Jesus Christ came in the flesh, died on the cross and resurrected from the dead on the third day. Sanctification is God's will for all believers and comes through a pursued walk in obedience to God's Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
. Baptism in water is essential to declare the Lordship of Jesus Christ and fulfill Christ's commandments.
. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is for all believers whose hearts have been changed and is for the purpose of power for service.
. The resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
. Prosperity and Health is God's will for His people. (III John 2) Our approach to prosperity and healing is balanced and Biblical. We do not believe that gain is godliness or that those who have more finances are better or more spiritual than those who have less. We know how to be abased and we know how to abound. (I Timothy 6:4,5; Philippians 4:10-13)
. The rapture of the prepared saints.
. The thousand-year reign of Christ and His saints.
. Heaven and Hell - the everlasting blessedness and reward of the righteous, and everlasting punishment of the wicked.
. The unseen realm is made up of the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness and they are at war.
. Mankind is created in the likeness and image of God, but has been separated from Him by sin.
. God is a good God and He is for us, not against us. He does not use sickness to chasten us.
. God answers prayer and cares about every aspect of our lives.
. The Christian lifesyle should agree with God's Word.
. Church attendance and involvement is necessary for developing a well-balanced Christian life.
. Tithing and giving offerings should be a part of every Christian's life.
. The Great Commission compels us to tell others of the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever; and is still healing, delivering and doing miracles
* According to scripture God is clearly against racial prejudice. We are therefore also against racial prejudice and believe in the equality of mankind.
