Membership
Welcome to All Nations Church! Pastor Charlene and I count it
a privilege and an honor to serve you as your new pastors. We don’t
take this responsibility lightly, but soberly and humbly before God.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Our mission as pastors is to see you manifest God’s Word and
Will in every area of your life. Our foundation scripture is “And
(God) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth and has determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation.” Acts 17:26
We know that God sent His Son to give us eternal life in Him,
however we also know that eternal life doesn’t began at death it
begins at our acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior.
According as His divine power has given unto us all things
that pertain to life and godliness; through the knowledge of Him
that has called us to glory and virtue. II Peter 1:3
We commit to:
-
Feeding you
with knowledge and understanding from the Word of God.
(Jeremiah 3:15)
-
Praying for
you. (Colossians 1:9-11, Ephesians 1:18-19)
-
Loving you and
speaking the truth to you in love. (Ephesians 4:11-15)
WHY MEMBERSHIP?
Just as your body has many parts, the Body of Christ is made
up of many parts. The Lord knows exactly where each part of His Body
belongs. He knows what you have been created and graced to do and He
knows what church will assist in developing and utilizing these
gifts within you.
We believe that just as God told Elijah in I Kings 17:3-6
to go to a “certain” brook and there he would drink and be fed, that
God calls each of His children to “certain” churches to likewise be
nourished with the Word of the Living God.
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the
body, as it hath pleased him. I Corinthians 12:18
You have heard “that no man is an island.” This certainly is
true in the Body of Christ. God has a pastor for each of his
children. No one is exempt, even pastors have pastors!
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which
shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 3:15
Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. And He gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work
of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Ephesians
4:8, 11-12
OUR WORK TOGETHER
Whether the Lord has called you to be a member of All Nations
for a season or until the time that the Lord Jesus returns, He has
something for us to impart into you and something for you to
contribute to this mighty work.
Under His direction, the whole body is fitted together
perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the
other parts grow… Ephesians 4:16 NLT
As we work together in this labor of love, no area will go
lacking. Don’t ever underestimate what God may want to accomplish
through you.

Holy Ghost. They are hungry and thirsty for righteousness and
they are filled. I declare that we receive now all of the
people, personnel, resources, favor, and wisdom to carry out the
will of God for this city and the nations of the world.

follow you. (Psalm 32:8, Proverbs 3:6, Jeremiah 33:3)

I thank You,
Lord, that every member, partner and friend of this ministry
dwells in your secret place and abides under your shadow. You
load us daily with the benefits of forgiving all of our sins,
healing all of our diseases, redeeming our lives from
destruction, crowning us with loving kindness and tender
mercies, and satisfying our mouths with good so that our youth
is renewed like the eagles. (Psalm 103:3-4, Psalm 91)

We are
satisfied with length of days, long life, and peace by Your Word
and Your Spirit. Your angels have the charge over us. They keep
us in all of our ways. The Angel of the Lord encamps around
about us and delivers us, for we fear the Lord. (Proverbs
3:1-2, Psalm 91)
-
Lord, I receive
your provision this day. The Lord is my Shepherd. I do not want.
I am not feeble, nor do I lack anything. I receive supernatural
favor, progress, and increase in my finances. Debts are
cancelled, promotions come, and I receive the manifestation of
the desires of my heart. (Psalm 23:1, Psalm 37:3-5, Psalm
5:12, Deuteronomy 28:1-13, Psalm 35:27)
