The 3 R’s
<strong>01</strong> RAISE
Raise: Our mission is to “Raise” the level of awareness through spiritual and cultural education and programming around systemic and economic barriers that has created an unhealthy effect upon our families and society. To highlight the marginalization and inequities of specific ethnic groups and to implement solutions that are culturally responsive.
<strong>02</strong> REPAIR
Repair: Our mission is to be intentional in “Repairing” the breaches that has created mental and emotional loop holes for recidivism and relapsing back into unhealthy conditions and environments that are contributing factors to ones inability to build healthy families.
<strong>03</strong> RESTORE
Restore: Our mission is to “Restore” the pathways of families, children and communities from a rough terrain of environmental and complex trauma, addictions, incarcerations, lack of employment, gang involvement, and emotional hopelessness to a path of revitalization of vision, purpose and self worth that brings clarity and value to the pursuit of a healthier future.

Why Faith, Faith Wise
What Is Our Biblical Beliefs
“Faith in God is an important element to our social, emotional, physical and spiritual development.
Physical health and wellness should never be over looked. Just as spiritual development and a healthy soul should never be looked over”
God
God As Creater Of All That Exist
We believe that God is superior of all that is created and that he created all things for his purpose and glory (Colossians-1:16)
We believe that God is a spirit and he is not limited by space nor time (John-4:24) He is Omniscient in all knowing, (Isaiah-46:9-11) “Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,” and Omnipotent having all power (Genesis-18:14) Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Finally, we also believe that God who created all things, knows all things and has unlimited power. While possessing such superiority, he yet remains a God of Love that cares for all of mankind and his creation, “For God Is Love (1 John-4:8)
Jesus Christ
Jesus The Christ, The Son Of The Living God
We believe that Jesus is the son of God (Matthew-16:13-17). We believe that he is God manifested in the flesh or in the form of man for the purpose of redemption (1 Timothy-3:16). That without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sins (Hebrews-9:22). Therefore, God as a spirit took on a body to give himself as a living sacrifice on the cross. “That God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself” (2 Corinthians-5:19)
We believe that the Name of Jesus, is the foundation of our faith and the means by which we optain salvation (1 Corinthians-3:11 / Acts-4:12 / John-3:18)
We believe that the same Jesus will return for his church and redeem us out of the earth and forever shall we be with the Lord (John-14:1-3 / 1 Thessalonians-4:15-18)
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost
The Holy Ghsot was promised by Jesus for the purpose of giving us power or inherit strength to live a new life separate from sin (Acts-1:8 / Galatians-5:16-18)
After the death of Jesus on the cross he promised that the father will send a comforter which is the Holy Spirit and his Spirit shall teach us and guide us and cause us to remember his word. (John-14:26)
The Spirit of God is also what seals us unto the return of Jesus Christ for his bride (Ephesians-4:30)
The Church
The Church of Jesus Christ
We believe that the Church was established by Jesus Christ as a place where he chooses to dwell amoung his people. A place where his spirit can be felt and his will can be revealed to the lost as well as the believer. Remember, it was Jesus that said, “Upon This Rock I Will Build My Church” (Matthew-16:18)
The church is the gathering or place of assmbly for the people of God to congregate and worship the lord together (Hebrews-12:23 / Hebrews-10:25 / Ephesians-2:6)
We believe the church is to be a symbol of refuge, shelter and covering from spiritual attacks (Numbers-35:9-12) A place where we can lay our burdens down and find rest for our souls (Matthew-11:28-30)
We believe the church is a place of spiritual development, training and preparation for the purpose or work God has called us to as individules (Ephesians-4:11-13)
We also believe that we as individule believers of God are also classified as the church, the Ecclesia (Greek) which means the called out ones. Knowing that he has called us out of darkness and into his marvellous light that we may reveal the true reason behind our expressions of praise and worship (1 Peter-2:9 / 1 Corinthians-6:19)
We believe that the church is called to be the salt and light in the earth. To draw souls out of the dark and lead them or reconcile them back unto their God for eternal redemption (Matthew-5:13-16 / 2 Corinthians-5:18)
Rapture
Rapture or the Catching Away
We believe in the second coming of Christ to take his bride out of the earth. The catching away of the individual believers who have been born again and washed in his blood (Hebrews-9:28 / 1 Thessalonians-4:17).
An event that will separate the believer from the non-believer in that when he returns he is only taking with him those that have made themselves ready through their faith in Jesus Christ and choice of lifestyle that is reflective of what it means to be christ like (Matthew-13:24-30 / 2 Peter-3:14)
