"The Elijah Initiative"

Ephesians 4:12,13

......for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

We are here to be used by the Holy Spirit to raise up a people, to facilitate an environment where they can be trained, empowered, and launched, into the destiny God has for them: to bring forth city transformation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

To this end, we have three branches, each with its own focus:

•1)The School: To develop and utilize a curriculum to train and equip individuals as a people who can operate in the giftings of God for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

2 Timothy 2:15

•2)The Network: To facilitate an environment of communication and cooperation between individuals to accomplish the purposes of God.

1 Corinthians 14:29

•3)Outreach and Evangelism: To search out and utilize venues for the purpose of reaching our community, our nation, and our world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To operate in the giftings God has developed in us to distinguish us from the world and its counterfeits.

Acts 1:8
