ABOUT US
APOSTOLIC DOCTRINE
What We Believe
According to the scriptures, there is only ONE God.
Not one God in three persons who are co-equal and co-eternal.
There is no trinity in the Word of God.
It is one God who revealed Himself in different forms to mankind and now can dwell IN us if we receive His Spirit, which is the Holy Ghost, which is the Spirit of Christ.
We know we have received His Spirit when we yield to His Spirit and speak in tongues, a language unknown and not taught to us by man but spoken through our mouth when we yield to the Spirit of God.
To make it to heaven (John 3:5, KJV), we preach and teach according to the scriptures that you must be baptized with water (complete immersion) in the Name of Jesus (not repeating Matt 28:19, KJV but obeying it) and baptized with the Holy Ghost, which is evidenced by speaking in new or other tongues (again, not repeating Rom 10:9-10, KJV but obeying it), and continue living in the Will of God as He has purposed for your life.
If this is contrary to what you believe or have been taught, seek understanding with rightly dividing the scriptures (2 Tim 2:15, KJV).
Contrary to what we would like to think, the Truth is controversial (Luke 12:51, KJV) but clear when it comes to salvation.

BISHOP & FIRST LADY
Bishop Jackson was born in Dallas, Texas where he joined the Air Force military soon after graduating high school. He was stationed at Clark Air Force Base, where he received the Holy Ghost and his call to the ministry in 1983.
It was also there that he married his beautifully amazing wife, our First Lady, Rosie Jackson. They had two wonderful and absolutely crazy daughters before coming back to Texas.
It was up under Pastor Lawrence King that Bishop’s ministry began to expand. Then, after working in all aspects of the church under Pastor Timothy Wallace, from cleaning toilets to being Youth Pastor, the Lord positioned him as Pastor over this congregation in February 2006.
In June of 2014, God saw fit to appoint him as Bishop, and ever since that elevation, God has expanded the church to parent and assist multiple daughter and autonomous works.
Bishop and First Lady Jackson love their church family and their church family loves them tremendously. The church looks forward to unprecedented growth as they continue under their leadership.
