Marion Christian Center is a
regional transformation church, forming teams of Eagle
Christians who share Jesus in the power and presence of the
Holy Spirit to restore individuals, families, and
communities. Our strategy to bring community and regional
transformation is built from the acronym based on the name
of JESUS:
|
| |
|
|
J |
Jesus is to be
exalted in our thoughts, in our actions, in our words and
communication, in making music...in every aspect of life |
|
E |
We are
empowered by the Holy Spirit by drawing from Him as the
source for living. We learn to see and follow Him. |
|
S |
Shield of
prayer... Bible-based prayer is an essential element of
victorious Christian life, both personally and corporately |
|
U |
Ultimatum
living... we seek to allow God to develop a passion (a
zeal) in our individual hearts and learn to follow this as
our destiny. |
|
S |
Spiritual
families-- bringing people together in relationship is an
important key for life. Natural families, as well as
church families can be developed as places of life. |
Our battle cry is
"YOUR GLORY JESUS!"
Our passion is to
make Jesus famous and we want to experience His presence as The
One Thing! As Paul in the Bible said by the Holy Spirit’s
unction “I want to know Him.” Philippians 3:10 And Jesus said
“but only one thing is needed.” Luke 10:42 We want to make it
hard for people to go to hell by making Jesus famous!
Our vision is to
see individuals become eagle Christians who:
 |
Have a saving
knowledge of God through Jesus' blood covenant |
|
|
Are baptized
in water and the Holy Spirit |
|
|
Are obedient
to the Word of God, the Bible |
|
|
Love God's
presence through prayer |
|
|
Live daily
through the character of the Holy Spirit |
|
|
Are secure in
Christ through a lifestyle of love, faith, reverence, and
grace |
|
|
Are singers in
praise, worship, and warfare |
|
|
Are active
members of a Life Group |
|
|
Follow leaders
who are servants and examples (Ephesians 4:11) |
|
|
Are Holy
Spirit led |
|
|
Overcome their
enemies (world, flesh, devil) |
|
|
Daily reach
out to care for others |
These are our
VALUES- expressions of QUALITY- that are passionately important
to us:
-
Each person being
BORN AGAIN through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit by
experiencing God’s grace through faith in Jesus’ death, burial
and resurrection.
-
Each person
experiences the BIBLE as the basic guidebook in order to love
God by obedience in being baptized in water and the Holy
Spirit. Then Bible revelation guides us to be a cutting edge
church that grows brighter and brighter in Jesus. Proverbs
4:18.
-
Each person learns
to PRAY in the Holy Spirit including speaking in tongues. We
do informed intercession then.
-
Each person is an
OVERCOMER as an Eagle Christian by allowing the hearts to be
healed. This is living in the grace of God by faith in the
blood of Jesus. Therefore we overcome our enemies in the
world, the flesh and the devil. Revelations of the love of God
and of the fear of God motivate a life of obedience to God.
Jesus’ kingdom is then built.
-
Each person
experiences LOVING RELATIONSHIPS in family and friendships as
an expression of the Great Commandments (see Matthew
22:37-39). This is more important than a great gifting as a
leader, teacher, musician, artist, prophet, intercessor or
counselor. Gifts are important but relationships are more
important.
-
Each person
experiences being a loving person by doing the Great
Commission (see Matthew 28:18-20). CARING OUTREACH is using
our time, energy, talents and finances to bless others. This
adds value to our communities.
-
Each person
experiences MUSIC and the ARTS to celebrate, praise, do
spiritual warfare and worship God.
-
Each person
experiencing being the people of God in a small group (these
are called a LIFE GROUP, a team or a spiritual family);
growing Relationships and carrying Responsibilities based on
our opportunities and personal gifting. A Life Group is led
by a servant leader. The team then is composed of members who
desire to make the leader successful.
-
Each person
experiencing the VOICE OF GOD. This is called being Holy
Spirit led. There are many ways He speaks. The most
foundational include the Bible, then the peace of God in the
spirit (not the head), and the urgings of the Holy Spirit. God
speaks through people and circumstances as well.
-
Each person
impacting people through the SAINTS MOVEMENT by receiving
equipping from the Ephesians 4:11 leaders of apostle, prophet,
evangelist, pastor and teacher to be empowered for a life of
service experiencing signs, wonders and miracles
