Life Changing Ministries and Fellowship, Inc. was formed under the direction of King Jesus with many convincing miraculous affirmations regarding our direction and vision.  Our driving purpose is to see the Kingdom of God advance on the earth as we await the renewal of all things.  As we join with the worldwide body of Christ in this effort, our emphasis is on seeing the life transforming power of God “CHANGING ONE LIFE AT A TIME”!  These precious lives are then to be polished, as if they were rare metals or valuable gems, by the doctrine of the apostles and the Sprit of God so that they will be thoroughly equipped to accomplish the work that they were uniquely called to perform.  LCMF is dedicated to a spirit-balanced approach in teaching about the Hebraic roots of the scripture, the role of Israel , the early community of New Testament believers, bible prophecy, the plan of God and the practical elements of our Faith.  Our goal is to comprehensively equip believers to live out the teachings of Jesus whether they are birthing Churches or serving God in the secular arena.  The sign that hangs above the exit in our Church reads, “PERFORM OUT THERE WHAT YOU HAVE PRACTICED IN HERE.”  Matthew and I ask you to support our vision by any means that the Lord Jesus directs you as we minister the transforming power of God to each individual entrusted to us ”CHANGING ONE LIFE AT A TIME” and advancing the Kingdom of heaven on earth.

We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and, as such, it contains God’s instructions to mankind.  Life Changing Ministries and Fellowship, Incorporated holds the entire cannon of scriptures to be our statement of Faith.  As instructed in the Holy Word (1 Corinthians 1:10 -31) we have refused segmentation into or classification as any sectarian grouping, but aspire to simply be identified with Jesus.  In the 14^th chapter of Romans, the Apostle Paul acknowledged that Christians encounter disputable matters. Like Paul, Life Changing Ministries will leave room for each person in the Lord to become fully convinced of the Lord’s will.  Additionally, Corinthians 11:19 teaches these differences between believers are a means of determining who has God’s approval and Life Changing Ministries will move in any direction necessary to remain in the “approval” of the Lord.  Undoubtedly, some will find it disconcerting to be denied the “cliff notes” or abbreviated compilation of what Life Changing Ministries holds as articles of Faith, but we believe that many have greatly erred in providing this comfort to their members.  Excerpting the bible to provide a comprehensive “Statement of Faith” presumes that a complete and inerrant understanding of all that the Lord would choose to reveal has been obtained.  This presumption has misled many well meaning people to refuse the light of God’s revelation because it would seem to contradict a tenet of their “Statement of Faith”.  The progressive nature of God’s revelation eliminates the ability to define “what we believe” in a comprehensive fashion because our spiritual growth is dependant upon adding to what we believe on an ongoing basis.  Therefore, Life Changing Ministries’ “Statement of Faith” is simply, “We believe in the Holy Word of God as contained in the Scripture”.  Disputable matters laid aside, there are matters of doctrine wholly beyond contestation and we believe that any honest reading of God’s Word will bring them to light.  We encourage believers and non-believers alike to read our Statement of Faith as given to us by God, the Holy Bible.  We will continue to promote the study of the Word and fellowship of the saints until Jesus returns and the resurrection occurs.

Pastors,
