We believe these things as a church, and they guide and inspire our mission to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15–17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent “I AM,” the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).
The terms “Trinity” and “persons” as related to the Godhead, while not found in the Scriptures, are words in harmony with Scripture, whereby we may convey to others our immediate understanding of the doctrine of Christ respecting the Being of God, as distinguished from “gods many and lords many.” We therefore may speak with propriety of the Lord our God who is One Lord, as a trinity or as one Being of three persons, and still be absolutely scriptural (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:16–17).
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God; He is God and has all of the same attributes as the Father; He is 100% man and 100% God.
The Scriptures declare:
Man was created good and upright; for God said, “Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.” However, man by voluntary transgression, fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God (Genesis 1:26,27; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:6; Romans 5:12–19).
Man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life (Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans 10:13–15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; Titus 3:5–7).
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4).
The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements — bread and the fruit of the vine — is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4), a memorial of his suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26), and is enjoined on all believers “till He come!”
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:1–31).
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4; Acts 19:1–6).
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God (Romans 12:1,2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12).
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven (Ephesians 1:22,23; Ephesians 2:22; Hebrews 12:23).
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church in: evangelism (Mark 16:15–20), worship of God (John 4:23,24), building a body of saints (Ephesians 4:11–16) and compassion (Psalms 112:9; Galatians 2:10; 6:10).
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement and is the privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16,17; James 5:14–16).
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church (1 Thessalonians 4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52).
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years (Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 24:27; Matthew 24:30; Revelation 1:7; Revelation 19:11–14; Revelation 20:1–6).
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43–48; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:11–15; Revelation 21:8).
We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21–22).
The Assemblies of God was founded in 1914 in Hot Springs, Arkansas with 300 people at the founding convention. Today there are nearly 13,000 churches in the U.S. with over 3 million members and adherents. There are more than 69 million Assemblies of God members worldwide, making the Assemblies of God the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination.
The U.S. Assemblies of God national office is located at 1445 N. Boonville Avenue, Springfield, Missouri. It houses the Fellowship's executive and administrative offices, service divisions and departments, and warehouse.
We live out our church's mission through these values.
At Restore City Church, we love and honor the presence of God. We pray as Jesus prayed, “Let your kingdom come,” because we want to see the Kingdom displayed here on Earth. We’ve come to realize that we cannot do anything without the leading of the presence of God, so we make space for him in our personal lives and in our church services.
We believe that Jesus loves to restore His image in broken people, so we partner with him in restoration through acts of love, forgiveness, healing and grace; we serve a God of second chances. We seek to model the heart of the Father and we love reaching out to the hurting in our church, our city, and our world.
We are a Spirit-filled church and we are passionate about the presence of God. We love to pray and to worship, we honor the Word of God and we love prophetic ministry. We know that the Holy Spirit empowers people for service and anoints them to overcome all of life’s obstacles.
We believe that the family is very important to God so we make it a priority to promote family values and we seek to build marriages and families. We also believe that the local church is our family as well. As a family, we know that we need to be connected one to another for encouragement and accountability.
We believe that everyone has been called by God to be significant and change their world. Each of us have God-given talents and spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit to further the purposes of God. We encourage everyone to use their spiritual gifts to advance the Gospel.
We believe that we are called to live with a spirit of honor, so we serve with character, excellence, integrity and commitment.
We love to give our time, our finances and our talents for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Generosity is a lifestyle for us and we know that God’s blessing flows through us to bless our world.
The Bible says that laughter is medicine and we have plenty of medicine in our church. We value the joy of the Lord and we absolutely love to laugh because we believe that joy and laughter display the heart of the Father.
