Intercessors

Every child of God is called into a ministry of intercession; however, there are those with a specific that are called upon to intercede. The reason why is there seems to be a greater anointing on that person to pray is because they have dedicated and committed themselves to intercession. The ministry of intercession is not a part of the five-fold ministry gifts God gave to the church in Ephesians 4:11. It is a ministry that everyone is to be involved in from the least in the kingdom of God to the greatest.

Mission & Evangelism

As a church, we are called to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19) according to the Great Commission that Jesus gave before He was ascended to Heaven. We believe that this commandment is in the heart of God and that our God is the God of mission, being the missionary Himself who came from Heaven to save mankind. The mission that Jesus had while on earth is now our mission since we are the Body of Christ. What he did in his physical body, we are to continue as his spiritual body - the church. What is that mission? Introducing people to God! The Bible says "... Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also."

Evangelism is sharing the good news of Jesus Christ (i.e. the gospel). As with all other aspects of Christian ministry, evangelism should be done in the power and under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Because evangelism is an expression of God's love for those who don't have a relationship with Him, therefore we have to trust Him to bring about the results that He longs for.

Ensuring that multimedia equipment, software, and streaming setups are functioning properly during services and events. Collaboration: Working with other ministries or departments within the church to integrate multimedia elements into their activities.   Last but not least, we pray throughout this multimedia ministry, we can continually remind ourselves that our work is an act of worship and a means to glorify God. Come and join us!
