| WE ARE NON-DENOMINATIONAL |
"Christ is head of the church..." –Ephesians 5:23 |
The church is to be like no other organization in the world. The guidelines for its make-up are given in the Bible. There is to be government within each church, but no outside control other than Christ Himself. There are non-denominational churches like us with which we relate, but we are naffiliated with any denomination. We want Christ to be our sole Head through the leadership of the Holy Spirit. |
| WE TEACH AND PRACTICE THE WORD OF GOD |
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God...that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." - II Timothy 3:16 |
At KEY Church we study and teach the Bible. We seek to live by the principles found in the Scriptures. The Word of God is the answer for EVERY need. We don’t just believe it—we find it to be so! |
| WE BELIEVE IN PRAYER |
"My house shall be called a house of prayer..." –Matthew 21:13 |
At least once each week we have a gathering just to pray. We agree for various needs that come before us either through specific requests or through impressions from the Holy Spirit. Also, in all of our meetings we have times of prayer. The Scriptures tell us to "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God..." –Philippians 4:6 |
| WE PRAISE AND WORSHIP |
"Sing praises to God, sing praises.’..." –Psalms 47:6 |
Sometimes people who visit our meetings are surprised or have questions about how we sing and praise God. Many of us were taught to believe that church meetings were not a place for strong emotional outbursts. But experience and tradition are not always in line with what the Bible teaches. We at KEY Church have found that God wants us to really praise Him! The Scriptures instruct us to sing, shout, clap, play instruments, leap, raise our hands and even dance in our praise to Him. So in obedience to His Word, we do it! We also do it because we are truly thankful and joyful about what the Lord has done for us. |
| WE BELIEVE IN MIRACLES |
"These signs will follow those who believe..." –Mark 16:17
"God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders with various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit..." –Hebrews 2:4 |
What good news! God hasn’t stopped doing miracles. Yes, most of us have been taught otherwise, but tell someone who has just experienced a miracle that they aren’t for today. At KEY Church we pray for the sick (and see them healed). We pray for the oppressed (and see them delivered). We pray for those financially stricken (and see them prosper). We cast out demons (and see them go). We believe God for some impossible situations in marriages and homes (and we see God do the impossible). Without the ministry of the miraculous, the church is just another social organization. Its ministry should be supernaturally endowed by the gifting of God through the Holy Spirit.
So we believe.
So we practice.
So we stand! |
| WE BELIEVE IN THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH TONGUES AND PROPHECIES |
"And they all were filled with The Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the spirit gave them utterance." –Acts 2:4
"tongues are for a sign; not to those who believe but to unbelievers..." –I Corinthians 14:22 |
What are these tongues? Surely they are but foolishness to those who don’t believe. We that speak in tongues were unbelievers too until tongues came to us through the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Now we believe! Certainly this is a controversial subject for some, but the Jesus Christ that is the same yesterday, today and forever is also the chief cornerstone of the church. His church stands today to grow even more dynamic in the power of the Spirit in these last days. Nothing has really changed about this. Men only say that it has. We speak in tongues because they have not passed away. We pray in tongues. We sing in tongues. "For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God... I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with understanding..." And as Paul says in I Cor. 14:18, "I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all..." |
| WE HAVE OUTREACH |
"You shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." –Acts 1:8 |
Although we are a comparatively smaller church, God has given us an outreach that exceeds our size. Audios and videos are sent out, as are books published in house. It is not unusual to have people come from around the world to receive ministry at The KEY Campus. The Lord is training and equipping some to be sent out to other places and ministries in the days ahead. |
| WE ENJOY FELLOWSHIP |
"If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another..." –I John 1:7 |
A vital part of real church life is fellowship. Not just time spent together in meetings, but time eating together, working together and recreating together. We help each other move. Brethren who know how, help others repair their cars. Relationships are constantly being developed and strengthened in a healthy church body. Some have even moved from other areas to be closer to this kind of interaction and love. We know it is a vital part of our growth as a Believer. |
| COME BE WITH US! |
"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together..." Hebrews 10:24-25 |
We hope this helps you know a little more about us at KEY Church. It is not our intent to recruit members. We believe that God must be the one who knits people into this Body. Regardless of some folk’s feelings about this, we are here to minister to you in any way we can. We welcome you to come to some of our gatherings. Reach out for ministry or prayer. Freely we have received and freely we want to give. |
