The vision of the Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ is to build a body of believers who through a firm grasp of the Word of God and insight into the vision and burden of our Lord, penetrate and saturate our city with the Good News, while attaining spiritual health and growth, not only in one mother church, but in several works through the local region until Christ returns.
The mission of the Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ is to fulfill the great commission of Christ based upon the great commandments, loving God and loving our neighbor, as we preach the Good News with purpose and practicality to all who come.
We believe that there is one God. We believe God manifested himself as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
We believe that Jesus is the Father.
We believe that Jesus is the Son: God manifested in the flesh.
We believe that Jesus is the Holy Ghost.
We believe what Jesus taught and the disciples obeyed: Baptism in Jesus name.
We believe to be born again one must be born of water (baptized) and of the Spirit (Holy Ghost filled).

REJOICE in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. Psalm 33:1-3
At Apostolic, you are sure to find a choir that you will enjoy singing unto the Lord. The Sanctuary Choir is comprised of youth (teens), men and women. The Pastor's Choir is made up of Men and Women ages 35 and up. The Youth Choir is composed of girls and boys up to age 18. If you can make a joyful noise, you will fit in just fine.
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn; and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: Deuteronomy 31:12
Our Christian Education Department is an institution of higher learning. Our mission is to effectively teach the word of God, win souls to Christ, create an exciting atmosphere, and support the vision of the pastor. We are staffed with well-trained teachers that share Bible knowledge with students. Classes are refreshing while being informative.
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband; and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. I Corinthians 7:3-4
Our Marriage Ministry activities are called: Marriage Retreat (MR) & Marriage Refreshment Seminars (MRS). Whether you have been married for months, 1 year, or 30 years or more, every marriage can use a retreat or refreshing. The Marriage Ministry shows the married how to be not just married, but happily married through the Word of God. Come join us as we perform MR & MRS through the Word of God learning how wives ought to be wives, how they are to respect their husbands and how husbands are to love their wives. MR & MRS holds an annual marriage enhancement seminar and Marriage Bible Classes. Attending a MR & MRS does not mean your marriage is in trouble, you only want it enriched. Though we two are one flesh, it takes two to make the marriage work happily.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. I Corinthians 13:11
Every man who joins or is born into the Apostolic Church Family automatically becomes a part of the Men's Ministry. The goal of the Men's Ministry is to maintain a personal relationship with God, share the Good News with the unsaved, and be good husbands and fathers by following God's principles for the family. The men edify each other while giving glory to the name of Jesus. They are also role models for other young men that do not have fathers.
Let not a widow be taken into the number under three-score years old, having been the wife of one man, well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. I Timothy 9-10
The Mother Board is hand-picked by the Pastor. The women are 60 and above. They are responsible for preparing the Communion and foot washing services, calling absent and sick members of the Church and giving a report to the Pastor. They give comfort and encouragement to all the saints. Their main duty is to be a prayer warrior, praying first for the pastor and the many battles of the Church.
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward Matthew 10:42
Our professionals, nurses, and nurses' aids are on duty to serve. They serve the ministry as well as anyone who may need special care. They will cheerfully do anything from giving a glass of water or juice to applying a Band-Aid to a crying child.
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: I Corinthians 7:32
The singles are a group of women and men who live a life alone because of divorce, death of a spouse or never been married. The singles desire to serve God and be single; some are simply waiting for God to bless them with mates as they serve Him. Singles are unique in that they are blessed to have a special Sunday School class covering biblical topics and everyday social issues. Once a year, the singles have a celebration to celebrate their saved single life.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of the wickedness. Psalm 84:10
The Usher Board will make sure you are comfortable in the sanctuary. They will cheerfully help you find a seat, direct you to the necessity room, or provide you with a fan with a cheerful smile.
BEHOLD, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1
From the moment you arrive, the Welcome Committee is there to greet you and welcome you into our Church. They will give you a visitor's card and a packet to remember us. With your permission, they will give you a call and thank you for choosing to visit us and ask you about your Sunday Morning Worship experience.
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10
Every woman who joins or is born into the Apostolic Church Family automatically becomes a part of the Women's Ministry. The goal of the Women's Ministry is to foster fellowship with each other, while ministering to each other's needs.
We strive to be virtuous women while helping to teach young women to be Women of God.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
It is said it takes a village to raise a child. We believe it takes a Church to bring up our children and we are dedicated to the righteous upbringing of our children. We provide Bible training, trips, fundraisers, and special youth programs, activities and revivals.
