The Teaching Ministry : is centered and focused on helping individuals know God through his son Jesus Christ and the filling/leading of the Holy Spirit. The ministry teaches that God's works of creation and redemption are both crucial both to the growth and the nurture of our faith and our mission is to tell others about Jesus Christ through out their teachings. Ministry teaching is based on God's word that reveals His gospel, love, grace, mercy, truth and ultimate experience of redemption and salvation through the precious blood of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on Calvary's cross. Specific truths lay at the heart of His gospel that we teach which include -He is God who revealed Himself in Creation, His Word, His Holy Spirit, and most importantly in His Son, Jesus Christ, who died to saved us from our sins. To this end, attention and application are given the reading, teaching, understanding, studying and applications of God's Holy Word. (2 Tim 4:13-15).

The Counseling-Consulting Ministry :is provided through the anointing and enabling of the Holy Spirit and the use of our spiritual gifts to provide godly counseling-consultations for soul-care, spiritual support, personal insight, and direction to individuals and families. Through one-on-one consulting sessions, the use of support groups, seminars, workshops, training, appropriate referrals, and other assistance efforts through preventive and crisis-intervention approaches, the ministry seeks to achieve the goals of: sharing the "good news" with the spiritually troubled; bringing healing to the brokenhearted; and proclaiming freedom for those enslaved to ungodly, unscriptural, unspiritual and unhealthy emotions, attitudes, beliefs, values, behaviors. (Isa. 61:1-3a)
