About our church
Our church was started in October
1989 with just 4 people. We were sent out by Spirit and Truth Christian Church in
Schenectady. We have been in prayer for the people of Watervliet in it's
original boundaries and surrounding areas
since that time.
We believe in people, families and in
America. We believe that GOD has richly blessed the United States of America and that we
all have turned our backs on GOD! Because we have turned away from GOD, kicked Him out of
our schools, and have taken GOD out of almost every American institution, the American
family has almost been totally destroyed.
America without GOD means no America at
all! In response to the many prayers for families and for America, we can feel and see
that GOD is moving in the Capital District of NY and that many churches will experience a
powerful move of the Holy Spirit. GOD is preparing the hearts of the people of the Capital
District region to embrace this nation shaking move of His Holy Spirit. Watervliet is also
included in GOD'S plan.
The
Holy Spirit can and is restoring people and families today through our church. We have
seen lasting results of many people enjoying the dream of a "good" family life.
In other people, GOD has brought healing and restoration. There is no need to feel all
alone anymore. He has restored family structure to the broken family and the single parent
family as well. Regardless of your situation, you will be accepted at our church and when
you are willing to line yourself up with what the Bible teaches, GOD can
begin to bring real healing to you. If you are willing, GOD is able!
How about you? Do you want to see
people, families, and your nation come back to places of honor and purity? Join us then,
let's take America back, one person, one family, at a time. Will you join us and be the
first person in your family to come to GOD!

Our
Statement of Faith
* We believe that GOD exists in three
ways, the Father, His Son Jesus (the Word) , and
the
Holy Spirit. All three are manifestations of the one true GOD.
* We believe that the Father sent His
son Jesus to be the Savior and Lord of all mankind.
Only in Jesus Christ is there
found salvation of mankind's life. Jesus saved us from having to live life under the
devil's control, from our sins, death, and an eternity in hell.
* Before a person can obtain these free
gifts, he must first be “saved" or "born again" of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said that unless a man is born again, he cannot see (be aware of, know, or understand) the kingdom of GOD.
* After being "born again" or
"saved" a person must be baptized in water, as Jesus both experienced and
commanded.
*Once a person is "saved",
they have become a part of the "body of Christ." This body is made up of every
true believer and is called the church.
* All believers must take their place
in the church in order to find GOD'S purpose for their lives and to fulfill it.
*Every believer should actively seek
for the baptism or indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as did the believers in the book of
Acts.
* The baptism of the Holy Spirit was
subsequent to salvation, expected, and common among those of the original and early
church.
The purpose of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is for the believer to receive
the power(dunamis) of GOD in his/her life to overcome their sinful human nature, to preach
the Gospel, and to be a vessel that Jesus can mightily work through to bring others to
Himself.
If you agree with these statements or
are willing to learn the truth of GOD'S Word, the Bible, then please drop us an e-mail
letting us know that you are interested in our church. GOD can help you to have a new life
if you are willing to let Him help you through this church.
These statements of faith are
representative of a complete set that you will be given if you decide to join our church
