BIBLE SCHOOL OF SERVANTS

Our Bible School of Servants is a two year process that prepares and equips students to fulfill their God given purpose in their lives.

We provide a balance of theory (Bible based knowledge) and practice (Character based principles)

Our Bible School of Servants is structured as follows:

Post Encounter
- We encourage every person that goes to an Encounter to take this class. In Post Encounter the student is shown the path to become a firm Christian. It includes lessons on who Jesus is, our relationship with Him, the Bible, Prayer, the church and more.

First Level
- This class is centered on family roles and values, which is the most important thing for Christian living. Through this class we find out how to assume our responsibility to be the best family member as well as learn how to help others reach their full potential.

Second Level
- This class demonstrates how important it is for every believer to have Spiritual Vision in their lives. The students have the opportunity to learn the tools that will help them succeed in catching the Vision of the ministry.

Third Level
- The main focus of this class is the importance of the relationship with the Holy Spirit. Within this class the student will discover how to develop and maintain a personal relationship, by learning the fruits and gifts of the Spirit.

Fourth Level
- In the last level of Bible School we will target character development, the importance of accountability, and the traits of servant hood.

PROPHETIC MINISTRY

Our Prophetic Ministry is about discovering identity, destiny and purpose. We are committed to teaching, equipping, and activating believers in prophetic ministry in the local church.

As part of our mission we provide the following workshops:

Ministering Spiritual Gifts (MSG)
- The goal of MSG is to teach, train, activate, mentor, and mature the believers in the spiritual gifts.

School of the Holy Spirit
- Its purpose is not only to share vital scriptural teachings concerning the gifts of the Spirit, but to advance God’s people out of the realm of theory and bring them into a living experiential reality of hearing God’s voice.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

DECLARATION OF FAITH

We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New Testament as the inspired word of God, and that they are the final supreme authority of faith and life.

(2ª Ti. 3:16-17, 1ª Co. 2:13)

We believe in a God that exists eternally as three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

(Dt. 6:4, Mt. 28:19, 1ª Jn. 5:7-8, 2ª Co. 13:14)

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born to a virgin named Mary and that He is God and man.

(Is. 7:14, 9: 6, Lk. 1:26-35, Jn. 1:14)

We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and therefore incurred spiritual death which is separation from God. That all humans are born sinners by nature and that they are morally responsible before God and man for their thoughts, words and sinful action.

(Gn. 1:27, 2:16-17, 3:6, 24, Ro. 3:23, Rv. 20:12)

We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures as a sacrifice and substitute, and everyone that believes in Him, is cleansed of sin by His blood and is justified through his resurrection.

(Ro 4:25, Col. 2:14-15, Rv. 1:5)

We believe in the physical resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord Jesus Christ; His ascension to heaven and His eternal life in heaven as a supreme priest and intercessor.

(Ro. 8:34, 1ª Co. 15:20)

We believe in the blessed and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

(Jn. 14:2-3, 1ª Ths. 4:13-18, Acts 1:10-11)

We believe that everyone who receives the Lord Jesus Christ by faith is born again through his divine word inspired by the Holy Spirit, in which they become children of God.

(Jn. 1:12-13, 3:3, 1ª Pe. 1:23)

We believe in the corporal resurrection of the just and unjust, the eternal blessing of the ones that are saved and the eternal punishment of the ones that are lost.

(Jn. 5:24, 28, 29, Rv. 20:11-15)

We believe that baptism is by submersion, as a symbolic act of our death, burial and resurrection with our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Mt. 28:19, 3:6, Ro. 6:1-10)

We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking other tongues.

(Acts 1:5, 2:1-33, 39, 10:44-46, 19:6)

We believe in the gifts of the Spirit and in the five ministries instituted by God for the Church.

(1ª Co. chapter 12-13, Ef. 4:11-16)

We believe and practice two ordinances:
1. Baptism as an act of obedience, it does not give grace or salvation.
2. The Holy Supper as a fellowship with the believers to commemorate the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ until he returns.
