Reverend Dean Anderson
Our Mission
To see that all of God's children, of all ages, have a home, and that all people see adoption as a normal way of life.
To Bless God, by assisting in the adoption of his children, teaching them his Word and Commandments, and the Commandments of his Son, Jesus Christ. Also, by giving his children counseling to learn the Fruits of the Spirit and how to walk in the Spirit, so that they will be able to stand approved in Heaven and on Earth.
In Doing This We Vow
• To encourage God's children to become interdependent, self-sufficient, and to be strongly self-motivated.
• To provide a safe and loving home that teaches etiquette, discipline, and respect, so that everyone feels they are in a loving family.
• To provide Christian-based spiritual training, along with the assistance to finish school, get a GED, or go to college, while teaching His children responsible home economics, sex education, and job training.
• In this way, God’s children can look upon themselves with a healthy, positive view and a desire to achieve the best in themselves by learning Gods Word and practicing daily worship and prayer.

BELIEFS
Our Statement of Faith
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Living God of Abraham.
We believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead and on the third day he rose again and ascended into Heaven. He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. (John 3:16, Romans 10: 9-13)
We believe that the Lord our God made the houses of Israel a kingdom of priests and a holy nation; (Exodus 19:6)
We believe that the entire Torah and all books of the Christian Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. (Deuteronomy 8:3)
We believe in Circumcision;
God's covenant with Abraham shall be in your flesh as a mark of faith for an everlasting covenant. (Genesis 17:9-13)
We believe in Baby Dedications;
The commitment to bring up your child in the ways of the Lord. (Genesis 18:18-19, Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Matthew 18:5, Ephesians 6:1-4)
We believe in the Sacrament of Adult Baptism;
At the age of understanding, a confession of faith and a commitment is given unto the Lord. Therefore we believe that there are two means of cleansing oneself: The first is Baptism - the act of washing away the old and unclean self while promising to follow God thus putting on the New Self. (Ezekiel 36: 25-27, 31, Mark 16:16, Luke 3:16, 21-22, Exodus 30:19-21, Deuteronomy 23:10-11, Matthew 3:11,13-17)
We believe in the Doctrine of Repentance - The Act of Contrition;
Once used by the way of sacrifice made by the priests for us, then used by the way of Baptism, now used by the way of prayer through Jesus Christ, the Final Lamb and Sacrifice, given by God for us. Repenting for our sins is an active part of the cleansing and is our apology to God, asking for His forgiveness and His grace. Penance is the Act of Contrition. (Exodus 20:24, Matthew 3:1-6, Mark 1:4, Luke 3:3)
We believe in the Doctrine of Prayer - The Act of Intercession;
An act of asking God in the name of his Son Jesus for his Favor, Care, and Grace. This can be done for yourself or others. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave to us the most perfect prayer called; 'The Lords Prayer'. Prayer should always be from the heart and in private or when using the strength of the Lord within a group. To ask God to Intercede. (Matthew 6:5-15, Job 42:1-10)
We believe in the Sacrament of Holy Communion;
This is the Lord’s Supper, the second cleansing. The eating of bread signifies partaking in the sacrifice, the drinking of wine is the cleansing of the soul through a new and better covenant with God, made by Jesus Christ through the shedding of his blood, which is our second confession of faith and this is what brings us to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 26:27-28, Exodus 24:4-7, 1Corinthians 12:12-14, Hebrews 1 - 13)
We believe that the Lord our God gave us ten Commandments;
1) I am the Lord thy God: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, nor bow down thyself to them. 3) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 4) Remember the Sabbath Day, and keep it Holy. 5) Honor thy father and thy mother. 6) Thou shalt not murder. 7) Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8) Thou shalt not steal. 9) Thou shat not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors posessions. (Exodus 20:1-17)
We believe that the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ gave us two Commandments;
First, to love God with all your heart. Second, to love your neighbor as yourself. On these two Commandments stands the law, which are The Father's Ten Commandments, that were given unto us, and that they are all based in one word – LOVE. (Mark 12:29-31)
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which brings to us the 9 Manifestations of the Spirit;
Gifts given to men by God – the Word of Wisdom, the Word of Knowledge, Faith, Gifts of Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Discerning of Spirits, Speaking in Tongues, and Interpretation of Tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:7-11)
We believe as Jesus Christ taught us, that in serving each other we become free. (John 16:12-13)
