IFCA Mission Statement 

WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO THE LORD...IN EVANGELISM

1.  We are committed to a renewed Passion for evangelism.  We are asking God to birth in us new compassion for those who are perishing without Christ.  Every member and every ministry of this Fellowship must be compelled by the lostness of humanity.  We will reach out to the oppressed and wounded with the truth of the gospel message - to all who are marching blindly to everlasting death, numbered by the immorality, materialism and rampant decay of our society.  With God’s help, we will reach every home and every culture in our communities with an adequate witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We will use every effective, biblical, outreach method the Holy Spirit gives us to bring people to salvation and transformation through the love and lordship of Jesus Christ.

We are committed to establishing new Spirit-Birthed Christian Assembly Churches throughout this country.  We will ask the Lord to provide God-called pastors for these churches.  We will help these new churches as they grow into effective, powerful, light-bearing communities of faith, which pierce through the darkness of evil to reach their cultures.

2.  We are committed to compassion ministries.  We will touch the poor and the suffering with the compassion of Christ and will demonstrate His love in practical ways, providing food, clothing and medical care.  Through our churches and missions programs, we will minister to total human need, both spiritual and physical.  We will proclaim God’s unconditional love, His provision of forgiveness, and His pathway of acceptance to all who are broken by sin - poor and rich alike - and urge them to receive and follow Christ.

3.  We are committed with unrelenting passion to the great cause of worldwide missions.  In this cause, we pledge ourselves anew to extend the bonds of partnership with fraternal fellowships around the world.  The Lord of the harvest clearly spoke to the hearts of our founding fathers that our church shall, without reservation, be of one mind in the task of world missions.  We believe God that, in the grip of the Spirit’s conviction, every Christian Assembly church and every member will support in prayer and sacrificially give to this cause.  Most importantly, we pledge the greatest of all investments - men and women who will take their places in the vast, unreached fields of end time harvest.
