EVANGELISM!
"Evangelism is not a professional job for a few who are trained in it's outreach, but
it is the unrelenting goals and spiritual responsibility of every person who is
saved by Grace and covered in the Shed Blood of Jesus! "
~Dr. Davy
This beloved church is truly independent of all forms and aspects of denominationalism as we believe in outreach evangelistic organization rather than the bylaws and the hindrance of men who oversee the governmental rulings and doctrines set forth in most denominational churches. We love all in the body of Christ who love the Lord Jesus and who will by their act of faith in the living word of God, seek to go, sponsor or help spread the Gospel into all the world and be doers of the word and not just hearers only! Our mission is to make Christ known to all men and bring them into the unity of Christ and into a living loving fellowship with HIM and those of HIS beloved who are HIS Bondservants and our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus now in every nation on earth!
This Glorious Outreach Missions Church Is Internationally Organized Under It's Organizational Worldwide Charter That Has Existed For Many Decades And Is Further Licensed As A 501(c)(3) In The USA. The Church Is Licensed And Registered As A Non Profit Corporation In Order To Meet The Federal Requirements For Tax Exemption Status Under section 170c2 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Church Has Complete Federal and State Tax Exempt Status And All Contributions To This Ministry Are Fully Tax Deductible. The Church is and has always been in good standing not only in our home state of Ohio but is recognized with honor and distinction and is in good standing in every state of the union and every nation of the world where free peoples enjoy the freedom and liberty of religious rights.
The Church from it's beginnings in 1926 has always been under the complete love and leadership of the Bishop of the church and that leadership is past on from one Bishop to the next and the new Bishop is selected and installed by the outgoing Bishop. The church today is fully organized under the leadership Dr. Davy Ray Kendrick who is the Chairman of the missions board, who after his installment as our new Beloved Bishop more than 20 years ago also became it's re-organizational founder! He is the Bishop of the Church and the World Missions Director of this glorious evangelistic outreach missions church that has served with honor and distinction the world over for over eight documented, historic and glorious decades!
We Stand Firm Against Racism! We have always stood firm against racism in any form and have for over eight decades; and we have done our best to bring all peoples of the earth together under the loving banner of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour while standing firm on the TRUTH , The Living WORD of GOD and standing up and defending or supporting that which is right based upon the word of God, The Holy Bible and what is just and right for every person regardless of their national or ethnic heritage!

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! In Time Of War!
We believe that it is the sworn duty and obligation of every American citizen to serve The United States Of America in the time of war and to bear arms in the military service of this Nation for the protection of the American people and for the preservation of our God given Freedom and Liberty in the time of any war.
We also believe that any religious organization , group, church, their members or any others who have been granted or born into the Liberty of Citizenship of America and who would not come forth voluntarily as citizens to honor, aid protect and defend the American people and bear arms for the protection of this great nation in time of war are in great error, cowardly and un- biblical in their practice and faith. The Biblical record and account of God's people clearly shows that God not only placed the burden of defending ones nation upon the citizens thereof but himself raised up great armies from among the people for the protection of God's people and the lands that God gave them and we believe and affirm that the God of the Holy Bible and no other is the only true living God and he and he alone is the Architect of Truth, Freedom and Liberty and that America is in indeed One Nation Under The God of the Holy Bible and indeed our national freedoms depend upon each and every citizen in this Christian Nation to do their part to protect and defend the home of Truth, Freedom, Liberty and this Great Nation Under God who is it's Holy Architect.
We further believe and affirm that this great Nation has rarely sought war but war has often come upon on it and the blood that has been shed by our forefathers has paid for our precious Liberty and Freedom and every citizen has the duty and obligation to defend this nation at all costs and to go voluntarily and bravely forth in it's defense should they be called upon to do so in times of National defense or a declaration of war instituted by the Congress or the President Of The United States Of America. Many may disagree with our stand on this issue but their freedom, liberty and security of all peoples of this nation depends on the voluntary service of each citizen in the time of war or national security to stand up and serve, without that service America would cease to be the cornerstone and protection of freedom and liberty!
We believe that every young man should serve in the military service for at least 3 years and that this nation should return to the policy of drafting young men into the military service so that the nation can maintain a military force for the protection of the American people!
We as a body of believers in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour will always stand firmly for and in defense of our nation and our national heritage of One Nation Under God and will always seek to bring lasting peace among all nations engaged in any war while offering refuge to the victims of war by providing love, humanitarian aid and our concern for the safety, Freedom and Liberty of all humanity.
We Stand On The Solid Rock Of The Holy Bible, God's Word And Jesus Christ!
We believe that Jesus Christ is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and that He is, was, and forever shall be and is the one mediator between man and God. We believe that the King James 1611 Bible is God's perfect word, is without error, and is man's authoritative guide for how we should live. We believe in the power of prayer, and that God alone has salvation power through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our sins.
We believe that God is infinitely more powerful than the devil (Satan, or Lucifer), whom Jesus has already defeated. We believe that, as Christians, we are commanded to expose evildoers and their works, that we must courageously stand up for truth and justice, that we must confront and defeat corruption wherever we find it, and that we have the right and the obligation to stand fast against wickedness in high places, whether on Earth or in the Heavens.
We believe in the unlimited power of the shed blood of Jesus and the power of Bible prophecy freely acknowledging that God has preordained the future from the beginning and that He holds the future in His hand.
We Are Not "Politically Correct" nor will we bow down to evils of social engineering, liberalism or the stupidity and nonsense of humanism! This Ministry and this glorious outreach missions Church is not now nor will it ever be a neutral compromising organization. We are in deed, action and faith in favor of the firmly standing up for the Truth. We are intolerant of injustice, false teachings, hatred, inhuman cruelty, abortion and other forms of sin and depravity. We view the world through biblical lenses and always seek the mind of Christ, the righteousness of God and the Truth. We have no political party preference. Instead, we will consistently support whatever is good and whatever and whoever is in line with the Truth found in the Holy Bible.
Right To Life: We believe that every human deserves the right to life-from conception to death-and that no one should have the right to kill unborn children nor to murder the elderly through active euthanasia.On the basis of the teaching of Holy Scripture we are RESOLVED that The First Church Of The Gospel Ministry vigorously affirms the biblical teaching of the sanctity of human life, and deplore the practice of permitting abortions with the possible exception of cases where it has been clearly established that the life of the mother is in danger.Fidelity In Marriage And Abstinence Before Marriage: Based upon biblical principles, we believe the sanctity of marriage is solely for the union of one man and one woman and is to be a lifelong commitment "until death do them part." We also believe that fidelity in marriage is essential. We also believe that teenagers and young adults should be taught to abstain from sexual contact until after they are married. The epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases running rampant in our culture is evidence of the failure of the liberal sex education movement. Violating God's principles on chastity has dire consequences. We support the God-ordained institution of the family, with or without children-based upon marriage, blood, or adoption.
Homosexuality, Bi-Sexuality, Transgenderism, And Other Sinful And Deviant Sexual Behaviors! The Bible clearly condemns all sexual behaviors outside of marriage between one man and one woman. Homosexual behavior is explicitly condemned in both the Old and New Testaments as an abomination and a violation of God's standards for sexuality. Recent clinical research indicates that over 79% of all Child molestation cases in the USA are committed by homosexuals and that 86% of pedophiles described themselves as homosexual or bi-sexual. With the deadly spread of Aids by homosexuals which is a one of the greatest public health hazards of all time that will claim the lives of millions of the American people in this nation in the next 10 years..... the facts are indeed clear. We oppose the normalization of sodomy as well as cross-dressing and other deviant sexual behaviors in our culture. We oppose the adoption of children by homosexual, bi-sexual and transsexual individuals. We further oppose the attempts to equate homosexual civil unions and domestic partnerships to marriage.
Pornography: The spread of pornography in our culture is a threat to the stability of families and frequently results in family break down, child molestations, and spousal abuse. We oppose this threat to the American society because it is progressively addictive, destroys families and it destroys the person who has become addicted to it. Pornography is an addiction that ruins the conscience of the person. Frequently, this person acts out his or her sexual fantasies by molesting children, rape and committing other sexual crimes-including murder.
Patriotism, Loyalty To Country, And Political Involvement: We believe that as members in the body of Christ that we are to be "salt and light" and good citizens. Our founding fathers, through the Mayflower Compact, declared that we are to be the body politic. There never was any intention of a separation between faith and the maintenance of the representative form of government. This means we are loyal to our nation (not blind loyalty, however); we are to support our Armed Forces, law enforcement officials, and we should participate in the political process. We live in a free country but we will not remain free if we do not exercise our rights and duties as citizens.
We believe in the principles outlined in our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and the writings of our Founding Fathers. We support free enterprise, limited government, low taxes, and personal responsibility. We believe in self government, not self indulgence. We do not believe that the federal government should extend its power over every aspect of our lives. The best government is the one that governs the least.We believe that States Rights as described and written in the Constitution should be the law of the land and that the federal government should have no legislative exercise or control over the lives, desires, wishes, freedom or liberty of the people of any sovereign state of the union as we believe that each state and it's people should and must stand up for their God given rights and the majority rule of law that we the people bring about in our own state legislative bodies and that the framers of our Constitution so envisioned States Rights as to apply to this principle to which we believe and subscribe thereto.
Religious Freedom: We are advocates of religious freedom. We believe the First Amendment to our Constitution gives all of us the right to freely exercise our religious faith and that religious Christian faith is the cornerstone of freedom and liberty in this nation. Our Founding Fathers supported Christianity, purchased Bibles, established Christian congressional chaplains, and sent missionaries to witness to the Indians. For nearly one hundred years, every Sunday morning the United State House of Representatives, the Congress, became a church and from the floor of the Congress the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ was preached and people were called to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Our Founding Fathers enacted the First Amendment to protect religious freedom, not to stifle it. We are opposed to any movement in this country that will strip away our constitutional rights to freedom of religion, speech, and association and we are committed to stand firm in defense of those freedoms and liberties for we are indeed called to protect and defend that which God has given us to preserve. We believe that it is long overdue that we as Christians stand up for and defend our constitutional rights and that we have a duty to this nation and the cause of freedom and liberty to so stand on the righteousness of God and the principles of the Bible and our heavenly father who is the architect of America.
Patrick Henry, that great patriot and Founding Father of our country said: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ!" ~Patrick Henry
Addictive Behaviors: We are opposed to the spread of state sponsored legalized gambling in our society because this behavior frequently leads to addictions, the destruction of families, and the abuse of children. We oppose the legalization of addictive drugs and support strong law enforcement efforts against this societal scourge. We believe it is self-destructive and destructive of our culture, for individuals to become addicted to such behaviors as gambling, alcohol, smoking, pornography, or the use of drugs.
Discrimination And Tolerance: We are not tolerant of behaviors that destroy individuals, families and our culture. Individuals may be free to pursue such sin filled behaviors as sodomy, but we will not and cannot condone or tolerate these behaviors. They frequently lead to death. We do not believe it is loving to permit someone to kill himself by engaging in a high-risk sexual, self-destructive behavior. We believe in "discrimination" in the good sense: choosing between good and evil, right and wrong, the better and the best. We believe in discrimination in the sense of being discerning between good and bad choices. Popular culture maintains that all forms of discrimination are wrong. This is incorrect. A person with "discriminating taste" is one who uses wisdom in making choices. In short, we believe in intolerance to those things that are evil; and we believe that we should discriminate against those behaviors which are dangerous to individuals and to society.
Love And Hate: "The Bible teaches us that we are to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. We believe it is a loving response to oppose all behaviors that destroy individuals and families. It is not "Hate" to raise our voices or fight against such liberal cultural forces as pornography, drugs, abortion , homosexuality and same sex marriage!
We as Christians have a duty to stand as our founding fathers did on the righteousness of God and preserve the freedoms, morals and liberties so founded by them and to do so is not an act of "Hate" but is an act of "Love" in the preservation of freedom and liberty and the Constitution of these United States of America which is the document of freedom that has by the hand of God been written and instituted to preserve and defend that which God has brought into the world as a witness of HIS Love, power and His Holy Righteousness! To raise our voice in defense of truth and righteousness is not and act of "Hate" but indeed is an act of "Love" for hate cannot live in the breastplate of righteousness and only Love has the courage to speak the Truth and to act upon that truth in every legal and non violent way open to us in defense of God and this HIS Nation under God! What God? The one and only living God of the Bible and no other!.......let us stand without fail to preserve that which God has given us for His Glory! Let us as Christians and true men and women of God in America now begin the political battle as good law abiding citizens to cull out of our Government those that would degrade this nation upon the throne of Liberalism, deceit and the lies born out of political agendas that are designed to keep in power those who are least worthy in our society to wear the mantle of political power, make laws or preserve this Nation!"
Sexual EthicsOn the basis of the teaching of Holy Scripture we believe:
1. That sexual intercourse should take place only between a man and a woman who are married to each other.
2. That fornication, adultery, and homosexual acts are sinful in all circumstances.
3. That Christian leaders are called to be exemplary in all areas of morality, including sexual morality, as a condition of being appointed or remaining in office.
4. That the Church is called upon to show Christ-like compassion to those who have fallen into sexual sin, encouraging them to repent and receive forgiveness, and offering the ministry of healing to all who suffer physically or emotionally as a result of such sin.
