Our
Philosophy of Ministry
It is the purpose of Bethel Christian Center to
obey the commission of Acts 1:8:
"But when the Holy Spirit
comes to you, you will receive power. You will be my
witnesses -- in Jerusalem, in all of Judea, in Samaria, and
in every part of the world."
Being a Spirit
empowered church, we exist to take the message of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and . . .
~ Reach Riverside, CA., our Jerusalem
~ Reach all of Southern California, our
Judea
~
Reach across the United States, our Samaria
~ Reach every part of the world
Bethel’s secondary purpose is to prepare God’s
people according to
Ephesians 4:12-13:
Christ gave those gifts to
prepare God's holy people for the work of serving, to make
the body of Christ stronger. This work must continue until
we are all joined together in the same faith and in the same
knowledge of the Son of God. We must become like a mature
person, growing until we become like Christ and have his
perfection.
Being a Spirit empowered church, Bethel is a center for the
preparation of God’s people to do "the work of serving."
We exist to preach, teach, and model
...
~ the
uncompromising Word of God to cause believers to mature, "growing
until we become like Christ and have his perfection."
~ the Great
Commission given by Jesus in Mark
16:15,
"Go everywhere in the world, and tell
the Good News to everyone."
~ Genuine liberty in praise and worship,
both in corporate and individual life.
~ The message of faith, victory, and
prosperity available by the "amount of faith God has given you."
~ The supernatural gifts of the Holy
Spirit spoken of in
1st
Corinthians 12:1-10 so that we
can "give
them strength, encouragement, and comfort."
(1st Corinthians 14:3)
