| ||"What's God going to say
to my questions? I'm braced for the worst. I'll climb
to the lookout tower and scan the horizon. I'll wait to
see what God says, how he'll answer my complaint. And
then GOD answered: 'Write this.Write what you see. Write
it out in big block letters so that it can be read on
the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to
what's coming. It aches for the coming--it can hardly
wait! And it doesn't lie. If it seems slow in coming,
wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Look
at that man, bloated by self-importance--full of himself
but soul-empty. But the person in right standing before
God through loyal and steady believing is fully alive,
really alive." || (Habakkuk 2:1-4, The Message)
We exist to advance the Kingdom
of God by firmly establishing the Lordship of JESUS
CHRIST in all facets of the lives of those who fellowship
here, and by having an impact on the social, political,
and economic affairs of our communities. We intend to
be that salt that can preserve our society and the light
that can illuminate people's minds to the truth of the
Kingdom of God and his righteousness. Our vision
is to be a source of future ministries of all types
and functions, and to contribute to the spread of the
gospel by supporting missionary work and evangelism.
Our church serves as a spiritual hospital where people
who are hurting and broken come to be restored and then
sent out to be a Balm of Gilead to others.
Every Member a Minister of Reconciliation
We don't believe that church should
be just a place to come and sit or that people with
a title are the only ones who should be
changing lives with the power of the gospel. We agree
with the biblical idea that we are all a “priesthood
of believers,” and were saved because we have
been gifted with a special purpose to fulfill. At The
Triumphant Church, you will see your purpose fulfilled
and have a joyous time doing it!
Structured for Implementation
We intend on moving towards this
vision by focusing on these key internal and external
activities:
Internal
- We will continue to teach the uncompromising
Word of God and add to the corporate revelation of
JESUS CHRIST.
- We will ingrain our people with
an understanding of their covenant relationship with
God and other believers.
- We will identify the particular
gifts and callings in the church and develop those
gifts through teaching and practical service.
- We will provide training to equip
our people to advance the Kingdom of God in their
families, their professions, and their personal relationships
with the LORD
- We will keep our people informed
of the issues affecting the society around them and
how the Word of God would direct them to address those
issues.
External
- We will place and support our
people in their positions of ministry and service
to the Body of CHRIST and to the community.
- We will work with existing government,
business, philanthropic, and cultural institutions
in addressing human needs with financial and volunteer
support.
- We will search for opportunities
to preach, teach, and model the principles of the
Kingdom of God through evangelism, missions, and other
forms of Christian witness.
- We will develop and maintain covenant
relationships with other fellowships and ministries
in the body of CHRIST.
- We will develop the capabilities
to provide answers to human problems and to confront
the spiritual and natural sources of human suffering.
