United Body of Christ Ministries

Through our relationship with Jesus Christ, we are healed, renewed, redeemed, forgiven, transformed, and loved.

It is our passion to share this faith and hope with the world.

We are a bunch of interesting, fun-loving individuals from all walks of life and backgrounds with one common goal—to become True Believers and active Disciples of Jesus Christ.

United Body of Christ Ministries is a voluntary, non-profit, non-denominational ministry utilizing an exciting and unique "gap-less" curriculum to motivate, train, and equip individuals to become true, active Disciples in service of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are committed to adhering to His "Great Commandment" and supporting Him in His effort to establish the Kingdom of His Father (Our Father) on earth, until Jesus comes again.

• We uphold the 5-fold ministry and offer members the opportunity to discover and serve in new ministries within the Body of Christ.
• From our experiences, we have learned that spiritual challenges, particularly those stemming from negative influences instigated by Satan, often affect our finances and marriages when we are not in a close relationship with our Heavenly Father.
• Therefore, we emphasize three essential pillars of life: faith in God, financial stability, and healthy relationships, especially within marriage.

Our Vision

Not only to be a haven for churchless Christians, but also to serve and unite fellow Christian congregations of all denominations. Motivating its members to be part of the “Great Awakening” and equipping them in an innovative way to affect the community around us through our relationship with Jesus Christ in such a way that:

• Individuals are healed, renewed, redeemed, forgiven, transformed, and loved.
• Families and relationships are restored.
• Orphans, widows, the elderly, and people in need are cared for.
• Individuals, institutions, and businesses prosper.
• We experience a mighty demonstration of the Power of God.

Our Mission

To accelerate the process of:

• Bringing people to Jesus and membership in His family,
• Developing them to Christlike maturity, and
• Equipping them as disciples of Jesus to magnify God's Name.

What we believe

God

• There is one God, Creator and Ruler of the universe, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• These three are coequal and are one God.

Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22

Psalm 90:2

Matthew 28:19

1 Peter 1:2

2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ

• Jesus Christ is the Son of Father God.
• He is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit.
• He has been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born as a human of the Virgin Mary.
• Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross.
• Further, He arose bodily from the dead on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death.
• He ascended into Heaven where, at the right hand of Father God, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
• The shedding of His blood enforced the New Covenant by which we are saved.
• He will return again someday to earth to gather His elect.

When and how will He return?

Matthew 24:29-31 (NET)

29. "Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.

30. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, (the Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context) and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven (An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full authority to judge) with power and great glory.

31. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

About the Holy Spirit

• The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son of God.
• He is present to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ.
• He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.
• He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right.
• He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved.
• As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

About the Bible

• The Bible is God's Word to us.
• The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, without error in the original writings.
• It is the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
• It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living.
• Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without error.

2 Timothy 3:16, 1:13

2 Peter 1:20-21

Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6

Proverbs 30:5

About the New Covenant

• The shedding of the Blood of Jesus enforced the New Covenant by which we are saved.
• We believe in the New Covenant and the Gospel of righteousness that is Jesus Christ.
• The New Covenant says God will put His Word in our minds and our hearts, and He will remember our sins no more. We interpret this as: the Word is the Gospel of Jesus.
• As we read this Word, it enters our minds.
• As we meditate and study on this Word, the Holy Spirit gives us understanding that we are enlightened and that word becomes truth and enters our heart as absolute belief, changing us to be more and more like the Lord.

About Human Beings

• People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character.
• People are the supreme object of God's creation.
• Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin".
• Sin separates us from God and causes many problems in our lives.

Genesis 1:27

Psalm 8:3-6

Isaiah 53:6a

Romans 3:23

Isaiah 59:1-2

About Salvation

• Salvation is God's gift to us, but we must accept it.
• The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe.
• We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty.
• When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved.
• Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9

John 14:6, 1:2

Titus 3:5

Romans 5:1, 10:9-10

About Eternity

• People were created to exist forever.
• We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.
• To be eternally separated from God is hell.
• To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven.
• Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.

Romans 6:23, 8:17-18

Revelation 20:15

1 Corinthians 2:7-9

About Baptism and Communion

• Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life and is symbolic of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ.
• It is also a step of obedience based on God’s commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism to "fulfill all righteousness."
• The Lord's Supper is a memorial service setting forth in a sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.

Matthew 3:16-17 , 28:18-20

Acts 2:41 , 8:12

About Prosperity

Matthew 6:31-33 (NET) is very clear about it:

31. So then, don’t worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?

32. For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33. But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

In addition to Essential Beliefs, we uphold the following:

• In Non-Essential Beliefs, we have liberty.
• Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters...
• Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls...
• So then each of us will give an account of himself to God...
• So whatever you believe about these things, keep them between yourself and God.
• In all our Beliefs, we show charity.
• If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Romans 14:1,4,12, 22

1 Corinthians 13:2

Although our Ministry strongly affirms the clear teaching of the Word of God, it allows believers the personal freedom to have varying interpretations on theological issues that are not clearly presented in Scripture.
