Our Vision

MC strives daily to become a church that promotes Christ, not a religious concept; to promote relationships, not religion; to promote the power of God, not programs. In accomplishing these purposes, I believe we will become a body that will make all who come through the doors of MC feel they are L-O-V-E-D. This should be the aim of every child of God, to let people know God loves them, and so do we. In truth, LOVE should be the foundation stone of all visions (The basic content). It is God’s love that has brought us to where we are today. It is God’s love, shared by you and me, that will cause the lonely, the lost, the empty to feel connected to our family, Messenger Church.

What We Believe

The BIBLE, both the Old and New Testaments, came from God through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is His Word. (2 Timothy 3:16) The GODHEAD is a Trinity: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 28:19) SALVATION comes only through faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood on the Cross. And that everyone is in need of a Savior for we have all fallen short.  (Eph. 2:8) The CHURCH is comprised of the redeemed of all ages and referred to in Scripture as the Body of Christ, with Christ Jesus Himself being the Head.(Ephesians 1:22-23; 19-21) WATER BAPTISM is a direct command of Jesus and is to be done by immersion in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19) That those who have been born again can ask for and receive the BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. (Acts 1:8) The Biblical sign that someone has received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues as the Spirit enables. (Acts 2:4) That DIVINE HEALING was provided by Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross and is available to all who believe. (Isa.53:5; I Peter 2:24) The SECOND COMING OF CHRIST will take place in two stages. First, the Rapture of the Church .(I Thessilonans 4:16-17) Second, after seven years of tribulation on the earth (Matt. 24:21) Jesus shall return with His saints to establish His Kingdom on the earth where He shall reign for 1,000 years as King of Kings and Lord of lords. (Revelation 20:6: Isaiah 9:7) This is referred to as the Millennial Reign of Christ The unsaved will be judged at the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT.( II Peter 2:9; Rev. 21:8) The TITHE (one-tenth of the increase) is holy and belongs to the Lord.(Lev. 27:30: Malachi 3;10)Messenger Church is affiliated with the Pentecostal Church of God.
