ABOUT US
Many people don't have a physical home church and are in need of some kind of fellowship with other believers. Some people can't make it to church even if they wanted to. Other people love their local church but would love fellowship with other believers beyond the four walls of their physical church community. Then, there are others who would never step foot into a church building. Wherever you find yourself, we aim to be an online, global church community for anyone who is seeking to grow closer to Jesus or find out more about who Jesus is. Our online church family gathers online every day of the week all throughout each day. You're invited to join this loving community of Christians and get involved as much as you are able to and feel comfortable!
OUR CORE BELIEFS
GOD
We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him be all honor, glory, and praise forever!
JESUS
Jesus Christ, the living Word, became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He, who is true God became true man united in one Person forever. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, and ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Mediator.
HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.
SALVATION BY FAITH THROUGH GRACE
Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God’s free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, thereby justifying them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
THE CHURCH
The true Church is composed of all persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity; where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting, she awaits the return of her Lord.
THE RETURN OF CHRIST
Jesus Christ will come again to the earth—personally, visibly, and bodily—to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. “Even so, come Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).
THE GREAT COMMISSION
The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations. Obedience to the Great Commission requires total commitment to “Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.” He calls us to a life of self-denying love and service. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).
OUR VISION
The vision of International Believer's Word Church is to be a community of Christ-followers who are Loving God, Changing Lives, and Transforming Communities in our Homes, Cities, and World.
OUR MISSION
As a church, we are called to carry out the Great Commission, and the Great Commandment, and our mission statement was created to capture both of these critical mandates.
As the International Believer's Word Church, our mission drives everything we do, from the ministries we provide to the resources we produce.
We hope this calling serves as an invitation to actively participate with us in the work of the Lord!
Spiritual Warfare Part I
The Bible gives assurance that in spiritual warfare we can stand firm, and resist anything that Satan throws in our way, only if we put on the whole armor of God. Which one of these defenses are you missing today and which weapons do you need to pick up?
Allow the Holy Spirit to search your life inside out and guide you in his way. Don’t let the devil catch you unguarded. Don’t let him use the element of surprise against you. Listen to Pastor Mel teaches this awesome lesson about spiritual warfare!
