God has called us to be a lighthouse in a pivotal position of responsibility,
affecting Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati area, uniting
churches in the Appalachian mountain chain, and reaching into international
networks. Our effectiveness to accomplish this task is directly
related to the personal care and maintenance of the lighthouse God
has given unto us. The source of power is the anointing of the Holy
Ghost. Therefore, spiritual disciplines of prayer, fasting, and
the preaching of the Word of God are top priority to assure the
continual burning of fire on the altar.
The
foundational elements of fundamental sound doctrine, financial accountability,
governmental structure, and freedom of worship should be buried
broad and deep into our Lord Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone,
to successfully build up this lighthouse for the purpose of reaching
out. Build-up to Reach out!
Personal
care focuses on the importance of every member of the body from
the Nursery Department to the Senior Saints, expressing the divine
purpose of God. Maintenance, however, is the balancing of programs,
policies, and procedures to minister to every portion of the Body
of Christ.
