Preparing men and women of God for their critical role in the Final Great Awakening

We are firmly committed to the following propositions:
In the absolute Lordship and Deity of Christ, including His Pre-Existence, His Virgin Birth
and His Imminent Return to this earth in glory and power to establish His Eternal Kingdom.
In the full spiritual authority, the
reliability, and the Divine inspiration of the Bible. However, our view of Scripture is conservative
and affirmative rather than fundamentalist or narrowly legalistic.
That nothing can replace the importance of the local church in the program of God. Each
local church should be under the immediate sovereignty of the Holy Spirit and should
determine its own character and role in obedience to the will of God, that the great task
of each local church is to propagate itself by establishing other churches and the great task
of the combined Church is worldwide evangelism and that membership in the church is signified
by participation in its worship, fellowship, sacraments and witness and by acceptance of its
disciplines. This union with Christ through His Church (His Body on earth) brings with it
God's promise of eternal life and of an inheritance in His Kingdom.

That true worship should be spontaneous; that it must involve the worshipper's total being
and that a free style of worship is more effective and more spiritually powerful than one
that is tightly structured, that the baptism of the Holy Spirit, initially signified by
speaking in unknown tongues, is an essential component of effective Christian life and
witness and that the Gifts of the Holy Spirit must function in the local church in order
for it to truly fulfill its mission to be the Body of Christ within the community.
That the church cannot fulfill its mission apart from the five Ascension Gift Ministries that
Christ has sent into the world: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers. We
accept that it is part of our task to recognize those individuals and to assist in equipping
them to fulfill their ministry.
That Jesus purchased healing, salvation and deliverance by His stripes at Calvary and that
this healing should be appropriated by faith, especially in conjunction with the following:
communion,anointing with oil, laying on of hands and prayer inthe Name of our Lord Jesus,
Who alone is the Healer.
In the reality of Satan and the kingdom of darkness over which he reigns and of the
absolute triumph of Christ over the devil and all his works and in exorcism as an important
and valid part of the ministry of the church.
That faith is the key to activating the limitless power of the promises of God. The ability
to use this faith for salvation, healing, deliverance, signs, wonders and miracles is
granted to us through Christ, that commanding mountains to move in the Name of Jesus is a
fulfillment of those promises and that every Christian should have one unyielding goal: to
succeed in doing all that God has commanded them to do.
That a victorious Christian life is built upon a
proper understanding of the position of
righteousness that God has given us in Christ
and upon the exercise of the spiritual
authority conveyed to the believer by that gift
of righteousness.
In the resurrection of the dead at Christ's return,
in the certainty of God's judgment and in the
inescapable result of that judgment foretold in
the Scriptures for the just and for the unjust.
Embracing the identity and mission the above points give us, we can best be described as an Evangelical, Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Faith Oriented school. This is the position maintained in our classes. However, we do respect other viewpoints and we try to avoid being rigidly dogmatic or critical of those who differ from us.
