SoLo Lives! Ministry

Statement of Purpose

     We exist to glorify God by obeying the great commandment and the great commission in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Great Commandment:

“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. And the second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39

The Great Commission:

Jesus said “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20

Mission Statement

Our mission is to make committed followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…”
– Matthew 29:19

Vision Statement

Our vision is to see God transform lives, restore marriages, strengthen families, and set people free from the bondage of sin. We long to witness a revival in our country that will lead to spiritual, social, and economic transformation. We envision the day when people can walk the streets without fear – where integrity and righteousness will prevail.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to help people develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to edify them through the study of the Word of God, and to train them for godly living and service.

Our goal is to see them become committed followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, with Christ-like character; abounding in love for God and others.

Statement of Faith

     God

     We believe that there is only one sovereign God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the independent Creator of Heaven and the universe and is all-knowing, all-powerful, just, loving and completely truthful and holy (1 Chronicles 29:11-12).

     The Bible

     We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired, inerrant and infallible. It is our supreme authority in all matters of faith, doctrine and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16).

     Salvation

     We believe that salvation, with its forgiveness of sins, impartation of a new nature and eternal life, is a free gift from God received when a person trust in Jesus Christ to be his only Savior and Lord. Salvation is given by God’s grace and cannot be earned by man through good works, baptism, church membership or any other means (Ephesians 2:8-9).

     Baptism

     We believe that water baptism by immersion is an act of obedience to Christ’s command. It is a public confession of our personal faith in Jesus Christ. As Christ died for our sins, we raised from death, we walk in newness of life with Him (Matthew 28:19).

     Jesus Christ

     We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man, that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived in sinless life. He was crucified and He died to pay the penalty for our sins. By His blood, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect sacrifice for sin once and for all time and was raised from the dead on the third day. Later, He was ascended to the Father’s right hand where He is the Head of the Church and intercedes for believers. We believe He is coming again to the earth bodily and visibly to set up his Kingdom (1 Corinthian 15:3-4).

     Every Christian’s Mission

We believe that it is God’s will and command for every Christian to be actively engaged in telling others how to establish a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ and in discipling those who respond to the good news of salvation (Matthew 28:19-20).

     The Holy Spirit

     We believed that the Holy Spirit is God and possesses all the Divine attributes. He indwells all believers, baptizes all believers at the moment they trust in Jesus Christ to be their only Savior and Lord. He controls and empowers all true believers to live the Christian life in response to their obedience, confession of sins, and submission to Him (Romans 8:9-11).

     Good Works

     We believe that good works are not the means to salvation but are the expected by-product in the life of a true believer in Christ. It is every believer’s responsibility to pursue a life of good works through the power of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 6:9-10).
