Our Mission & Vision

 

The mission for the First Apostolic Church of Harrisville is to spread the gospel of JESUS and to lead people to him. 

To Be a church who is known for Powerful and anointed, Preaching and Worship. We strive to be like Jesus. To Preach the infallible word of God without compromise. 

We Believe

  • Jesus is Lord; is risen from the dead; is both God and man.
  • As man, Jesus is the Son of God who died for all of us.
  • God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4). The one true God is Father of Creation; is Holy; is Spirit; and, as the Son, God was manifest in flesh for our redemption.
  • The Holy Ghost (Spirit) was given at Pentecost for New Covenant believers, as part of the salvation experience, to help us live a righteous life of peace and joy.
  • You must be born again of water and the Spirit (John 3:3-5).
  • The biblical way to be born again is by obeying Acts 2:38.

Our Vision 

"For where there is no vision the people perish", Proverbs 29:18

In the beginning God had a vision for His church. It was a positive vision. When the church was established, the new believers were one in doctrine, one in holiness, and one in Spirit. (See Acts 2.) They were bound by a common cause: fulfilling the great commission. The enemy worked—even as he does now—fragmenting the body, bringing division, introducing false doctrines, and destroying holiness. Satan’s plan has been to prevent the church from remaining unified. He is the author of division, which will surely erode vision. He works at causing schisms in the body of Christ.

Most people have visions or pictures in their minds, but what is the vision God wants us to have? Vision is an image of the future, something forthcoming.

What affects our vision? Our environment, what we read, what we see, what we hear, the people with whom we associate, the time we choose to spend talking to the Lord—all these things affect our vision. Vision needs to be “caught” from the spirit of the early church and not by comparing ourselves with each other. Comparing ourselves among ourselves is one of the greatest downfalls of our time. In so doing, we not only do not do well (II Corinthians 10:12), but we also inhibit the Word of God from going forward.

God wants nothing than the best for his church. But it must be up to us to determine where we want to see the church go from here. Our vision is making heaven our home and winning souls along the way and sharing the gospel to all those that are around us. For it is our vision that no one perishes but we live humbly, boldly and live a righteous life for him.
