Believe The Impossible
Believe The Impossible is more than a dream—it’s a step of faith to build what only God can do. Together, we’re creating a home where lives are changed and the impossible becomes reality.
Our Core Values
The purpose of Authentic Church is to share the hope of Jesus Christ. We are Jesus people, not religious people. Methods will come and go, yet our message will remain the same.
We believe it when Jesus said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you!” The Holy Spirit is the comforter, advocate, counselor, strengthener and the list goes on. We believe the Holy Spirit will speak through us to change lives forever.
Our heart is for all people. All people are loved by Jesus and we will do whatever we can to reach all people far from God. Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted and it is our job to encourage them to give God all the pieces.
Burnout is real! There is a reason God gave us a commandment for rest. Reaching the world does not mean exhausting yourself every day without rest. We are able to have a rest day because we trust God can do what we cannot. So work hard and rest hard too!
Generosity is about giving more than what is required. We see generosity as a privilege. We’re generous with our time, talents, and treasure. We go first in our giving. God has blessed us and it is our honor to give back to Him. ….IT’S ALL HIS ANYWAY.
Where the spirit of the LORD is there is freedom! The Bible tells us that the gates of heaven open up when we enter with thanksgiving and praise. Wherever we are with our groups we will worship God and praise Him for all that He is doing.
We didn’t get here today by lack of faith, but by taking giant leaps of faith. We believe when God speaks it, it will happen. Our God is bigger than our circumstances. Keep believing the impossible and watch God work!
