Our mission is to advance God’s Principles of Stewardship and Life. These principles are wholly based in the Bible. They serve as the perfect instructions to thrive, both here on Earth and eternally. This wisdom is so life changing that every person needs to learn these principles. We will spread them through unique experiences and events, collaborative partnerships and relevant, supportive content. When we do that, for both rich and poor, those who take them up will discover a life that allows them to serve God more fully.
Our Life Changing Marriage Counseling Is a 13 week proactive training session. In this training, couples receive step by step instructions and analysis of biblical principles pertaining to marriage before they become Husband and Wife.
The Children’s Church Ministry creates a learning environment that all children are sure to be comfortable in. Children between the ages of 3 through 12 are instructed in the word of God. The overall vision is to help them through scriptures to obtain the mentality of Joshua and Caleb, (we can possess the land). Our topics/themes are prepared in advance, with a mindset that we must touch on every subject possible to help them with the daily challenges in life. To ensure that the children are being taught the same Christian values as their parents. The themes we choose line up with the messages taught in the sanctuary to the adults. SLCC’s Children Ministry consists of individuals from our local body called by God to minister. In our teachings we believe we must first prepare the fruits of our future before ministering to others called to His kingdom.
AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
PREACHING THE WHOLE GOSPEL
TO THE WHOLE MAN IN WHOLE WORLD
The vision of this team is that men, women and children from every nation and background will come into the kingdom of God.
Habakkuk 2:2-3
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (KJV)
WITNESS: One who has seen or heard of something; one that gives evidence; to be present or have personal acknowledges of; to testify; bear witness.
What a mighty God we serve. As God has commanded his people (believers) according to Luke 14:23 the Lord said, GO out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. The people of God must have a burden for those that are lost.
The Witnessing Team Ministry has been commanded by God and its primary mission is to reach out through every means available through the Word of God to the lost and dying world and tell them about Jesus the finished work He has done by the way of the cross. To allow them to know the price he has paid for us and in that, there is hope through Jesus Christ as a believer of him that one can have an abundant and victorious life.
Prior to our weekly door to door visits, the team fast and pray so that we may be a blessing in the community as we minister through, prayer, sharing scriptures, invitations to a local Church body and most important showing the love of God. We train the team it is for us to plant and water and all about Christ giving the increase. The members are instructed in the written Word of God, protocol, training sessions, skits, hands on encounter with other team members, the local community, and other available material and/or instructions given by our Pastors Randolph and Minerva Paige. We believe that we are receiving an excellent Word of God here in this ministry and with that in mind as those we witness to that do not have a church home we encourage them to be a part of what God is doing at Spiritual Life Christian Center and if God choose to lead them to another fellowship then we are confident that we have done what God has instructed us to do. He tells us in Isaiah 43:10 that we are his witness…
1 Corithians 3:6-7
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. (KJV)
Romans 12:9-13
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
The Hospitality Ministry is part of the Help Ministry that has been established as part of the Spiritual Life Christian Center’s Church Vision. The mission of the Hospitality Ministry is to be ready to assist and be a blessing to visitors, new members, those who are already apart of this ministry and the body of Christ; demonstrating the love of Christ working in us and through us according to Romans 12:9-13; 1 Peter 4:8-9.
1 Peter 4:8-9 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves; for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging
John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Guardians of God's Anointed
This Porter Ministry, also known as “Guardians of God’s Anointed”, is only one of the strategic components within the supernatural Ministry of Helps within our local church. This ministry is consistently girded by prayer and continuous fasting that we may be sensitive to God’s Spirit, walking in power and authority to be able to thwart the devices of the wicked one, meet the needs of the people and receive direction from the Lord. This ministry is ordained and anointed by God and consists of greeters/ushers who are divinely set in the church with purpose and a servant heart.
Our mission goes far beyond the traditional stereotype of ushering, mere bucket-passers and hand-shakers, to encompass greater and more meaningful responsibilities that can be categorized in the four specific areas:
1. Assist the Pastors - We are to assist the pastor and help them accomplish their goals and bring their vision for the church to fulfillment.
2. Maintain Order - We are to maintain order and orchestrate movement during the service, prayer ministry lines and communion. We are the first-line defense against Satan's devices of confusion and distraction that can separate people from God’s Word and the flow of the Holy Spirit. This position is genuinely unique because it is a matter of life and death where souls are on the brink of life changing decisions.
3. Receive Offering - We receive offering in a manner according to 2 Corinthians 9:7.
For we have purposed in our hearts to receive cheerfully and hilariously that which is given unto the Lord for His Kingdom. The attitude in which offering is received plays a major role that may affect the congregations willingness to give to the Lord.
4. Meeting and Greeting - We are God’s public relations man and we represent the church to every new visitor. We are the extension of God’s heart and hands. It is the responsibility of the usher to make the visitors feel welcomed and important. Visitors are greeted with the same love and warmth as the pastors would themselves. The first impression is a lasting impression. Porters make a difference in someone’s life!
The Praise Dance Ministry of Spiritual Life Christian Center displays spiritual messages through Christian plays, skits, mime, poetry, and prophetic dancing. The plays, skits, mine, poetry and prophetic dances are performed under the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit with the goal of ministering to the body of Christ.
Psalm 100
A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout joyfully to Jehovah, all the land.
Worship Jehovah with gladness; come before His face with joyful singing.
Know that Jehovah, He is God; He has made us, and not we ourselves, His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, into His courts with praise; be thankful to Him; bless His name.
For Jehovah is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His faithfulness to generation and generation
Our purpose is to corporately usher in the presence and the anointing of God in the midst of the congregation through praise and worship, and to exercise spiritual warfare against the works of the enemy (Isa.10: 27). Through praise and worship we help the saints of God to utilize the weapon of warfare; once it is effectively activated in the life of the believer, he/she comes into the realization of the power we possess in the Spirit as we invoke a corporate anointing (John 4:23,24; Col. 3:1).
John 8:36, "If the SON therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
As an extension of the Vision of the Spiritual Life Christian Center, the Prison Ministry is a ministry that ministers to those who might not otherwise be able to hear the Word of GOD!
This Ministry is an outreach to the residence of the Sumter/Lee Correctional Facility.
This Ministry teaches the Word of GOD with an expectation of signs and wonders following. We believe that the Word of GOD will produce fruit in the lives of the residence as they make their transition. We trust that as the residences receive the Word, they will become the people that GOD always intended them to be. As the Prison Ministry goes out doing the work of the Lord we know that it is GOD that brings the increase (I Corinthians 3:6-7). Those who are laborers in the Prison Ministry are planting and watering in the lives of those who are receiving the Word. The Word of GOD is being taught by Ministers of Spiritual Life Christian Center. As laborers in this Ministry we are exercising the gifts and callings that are placed within us by GOD.
As the residence are blessed by the teaching of the Word of GOD we as laborers in the ministry also pray, encourage and impart life by the Holy Spirit. All teachings and services are led and guided by the Holy Spirit. As ministers and laborers we encourage the residence to become a part of Spiritual Life Christian Center or become a part of a local Church to be trained, discipled, and mentored for spiritual growth and development.
Matthew 9:37 The harvest is truly plenteous but the laborers are few. We believe that GOD will send forth more and more laborers for this mighty work for His Kingdom!
Bringing Forth the Systematic Teachings of The Five-Fold Ministry
"An Offering: Out of One Body"
Ephesians 4:8 "Wherefore He saith, when He ascended up on high He led captivity captive,and gave gifts unto men."
The Five-Fold Ministry represents the right hand of God. Its purpose is to shape and mold the body of Christ. Matthew 3:12 says "... Whose fan is in His hand and he will thoroughly purge..." There are five offices that will help bring the body of Christ to maturity, sonship and perfection. Ephesians 4:12-16 says "For the perfecting of saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ: Till we all come into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, making increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 4: 11 " And He gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and Teachers.
The Apostle: The Thumb. One can't do much without thumbs. The office of an Apostle establishes Biblical authority and helps set things in order, a builder.
Lays foundational truth in the lives of believers (example: Paul, establishing many churches and advancing the Kingdom of God.) Ephesians 2:20 and are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself, being the chief cornerstone.
The Prophet: Index finger, referred to as the seerer. Known to be on point. The main job is to edify, exhort and comfort the body of Christ. This office also has greater flow in the prophetic and dealing with correction. Has the authority "root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, to build and to plant." Jeremiah 1: 1 0
The Evangelist: Middle finger, known for reaching out to lost souls. "...he that winneth souls is wise." Proverbs 11:30
The Pastor: Ring finger, married to the body. Main function is to feed and care for the sheep. John 21: 15-17 "Jesus commands Peter…Feed my lambs, feed my sheep."
The Teacher: Pinky finger, brings balance to the whole hand. "For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statues and judgments." Ezra 7: 1 0
We believe the main purpose of this ministry is to promote singleness to the whole man (spirit, soul and body). We are not rejected, incomplete or left out; rather we are complete in Christ, according to Colossians 2:10. We are to be helpers of one another, by learning how we are each separate, unique and whole; we believe we can accommodate the needs of each other through the love of God. By imparting Christo-centric teachings (Matthew 6:33), we will establish, the first and most important relationship in one’s life, their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that if they don’t understand or develop this relationship, they will never truly be able to develop any other meaningful relationships. Our goal is to minister to those who are single by choice, separated, widowed or divorced, encouraging wholeness in love. We believe in having all things done decently and in an orderly fashion .
(1 Corinthians14:40) We will teach, train and equip the Singles’ according to how the Spirit of God directs. This will not be a gossip session, nor a dating service, but rather a support channel through Which we can learn, grow and mature in Christ; as long as we put Christ first. This will not be a separate group; it will only enhance what we already have in Spiritual Life Christian Center. We believe that God wants us to teach each other how to be more productive and whole single adults; by building up one another in these open forum type meetings, where everyone will have the liberty to voice one’s concerns as long as it edifies, exhorts and comforts one another. We are to become an intimate, close knit group of armor-bearers for this body, so that one day we will be able to incorporate the same teachings in other bodies as God opens the doors. Servant hood will be stressed as part of the Singles’ curriculum. God first makes servants, and then He promotes them to Leadership!
And How Shall They Believe in Whom They Have Not Heard
(Romans 10: 13-15)
