“Connecting Community, Advancing People … Closer to God”

Vision Statement

I have a vision to grow a large, spiritually mature, multiethnic, multigenerational and Spirit-filled church that will have a transforming impact on our city and our society as an apostolic center. I see a church that loves people and is passionately in love with Jesus. I see our church as a safe place where people sense the love, mercy and grace of God. I see our church equipping people to reach out to those in need, fulfilling their God-given destinies and being successful and prosperous in life. I see a church that believes in the supernatural intervention of God. I see us connecting community and having a sense of family in our midst. I see our church advancing people closer to God. That's the kind of church I see, and that's the kind of church I want us to be.

What We Believe

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God and states nothing contrary to fact in the original documents. We believe that all Scripture found in the Bible is reliable for reproving, correcting and instructing in the way of life and is unchangeable in nature.

God

We believe that the God of the Bible is the only one and true God revealed eternally in three persons as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three persons are the same being with the same nature and character and exist in perfect unity eternally.

Jesus

We believe that Jesus is God and the second person in the Godhead. He is eternal in nature and was manifested in flesh and walked on the earth as both God and Man. He was born by a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the price of our sins and rose again in order to redeem all that are willing to receive Him as Lord.

Holy Spirit

We believe that every believer can be baptized and filled with Holy Spirit, who was sent to us to comfort, teach and guide us in our journey with God, while at the same time convicting the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. Holy Spirit empowers each believer with spiritual gifts in order to live a godly life, build the Body of Christ and bring glory to God.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God and cannot be earned but must be received by the grace of God. We believe that God will not refuse those who humbly come to Him in repentance and accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior.

Baptism and Communion

We practice both water baptism and communion as taught by the Bible. Baptism is a public act used to identify our lives with Christ: first with His death and then with His resurrection into new life. Communion is a time of deep reflection and recommitment to Jesus Christ and to His Church; believers break bread and drink the juice of grapes in remembrance of Jesus Christ and His completed work on earth.

Discipleship

We believe that the Church is called to make disciples of all nations and people groups as Jesus commanded. We disciple through Small Groups and mentoring relationships according to the precepts taught by the Bible.

Judgment

We believe Jesus will return bodily to the earth. Then, at the end of the age, Jesus will judge every person according to the decisions he or she has made during life on earth—some to everlasting life and some to eternal separation from God.

Equality

We believe that every person that receives Jesus Christ as Lord is a child of God and is equal in being, regardless of race, gender, culture or class.

The Church

We believe in the universal Church of believers that consists of local churches throughout the world. We believe that every believer should be serving in a local church and loving one another and the community in tangible ways.

Prayer

We believe that every believer is called to pray for the Father's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. HRock is a house of prayer that partners with God to release His will on earth. We, as God’s children, are always to pray and not faint, knowing that God hears and answers prayer.

Core Values

Worship
As we worship, we seek to passionately love and glorify Jesus and celebrate the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer
Because God's house is a house of prayer for all nations, we are committed to pray and fast that His Kingdom will come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Mark 11:17).

The Bible
We believe the Holy Bible is the infallible and inspired word of God. We are committed to preaching God’s Word and obeying God’s Word (Matt. 7:24-25; Joshua 1:7-8).

Kingdom of God
We are here to advance the Kingdom of God by sharing the Good News of the Kingdom (Matt. 24:14) and discipling nations (Matt. 28:18-20) with the power of the Kingdom (Matt. 4:22) while living the ethics of God's Kingdom (Matt. 5-7).

The Local Church
We believe that God’s means of advancing His Kingdom is the local church. Our goal is to have a growing, thriving and strong local church that would reach the lost and impact society (Matt. 16:18-19).

Reformation
God wants us to reform society by bringing the Kingdom of heaven to earth (Matt. 6:9-10). We do this by calling people to discover their divine assignments in the Seven Mountains of Culture—family, religion, government, education, business, media and arts & entertainment—and to transform society through their respective sphere of influence (Matt. 5:13-14, 28:18-20; Gen. 1:28-29).

Financial Prosperity
Because it takes wealth to reform society, God wants us to prosper (Deut. 8:18; 3 John 2) and use the wealth to advance His Kingdom and transform society.

Apostles
Because the Church is founded on apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20, 4:11), we believe and embrace the office and ministry of the apostle. HRC is part of an apostolic network called Harvest International Ministry.

Prophets
We welcome and honor prophets and the prophetic ministry (Matt. 10:41). We are called to be a prophetic people and are committed to do only what we see our Father say and do (John 5:19).

Family
We believe strongly in the biblical family model and are committed to its strength as a foundation for our church and society.

Love
Jesus gave us a commandment to love one another (Matt. 22:39). Therefore, we are committed to walk in love and unity in our
home, our church, among the churches in our city, among the different ethnic groups and especially among those who don’t know Jesus in a personal way.

Faith
The Bible says, “The just shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17). “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb. 11:6). We are called to be people who “live by faith and not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7).

Hope
We want to offer hope and encouragement to the discouraged and depressed in our society and in our church (1 Cor. 13:13).

Grace
Jesus is full of grace and truth (John 1:17). We, too, are to be people who are full of grace. We know that by God’s grace we are saved (Eph. 2:8) and sanctified (Titus 2:11-12), and by His grace we experience success and favor in life (James 4:6; 1 Cor. 15:10).

Evangelism and Healing
We seek to demonstrate and declare the Good News of Jesus, heal the sick, help bring deliverance to the oppressed and incorporate people into our church through evangelism, inner healing, deliverance and healing (Mark 16:15-18).

Small Groups
Through small home groups, we seek to edify the Body and train future leaders. We desire to identify specific needs in our church and community and to act to meet those needs through cell groups. Cells can provide an evangelistic opportunity where every believer can experience the excitement of fulfilling the Great Commission.

Discipleship
In our discipleship and training, we seek to call people to Jesus, grow in Him, radically live out His Word and release people and leaders into ministry. Every believer is a minister (Eph. 4:11; 1 Pet. 2:9).

Youth
Because the harvest is greater among the youth and because we sense a responsibility to reach the next generation, we place a high priority to reach and minister to the emerging generation in our church and city.

Generosity
Because a sovereign God uses finances to expand His Kingdom, we believe that God wants us to give joyfully and sacrificially with our tithes and offerings, as a means to fulfill the Great Commission.

Missions and Social Justice
Through missions we seek to plant churches cross-culturally, minister to the poor and train and empower indigenous leaders. This will be done through the local church and through Harvest International Ministry, the apostolic network that HRC is aligned with.

Revival
Recognizing that none of the above can be accomplished in our own strength, we seek to be perpetually revived and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
