True Vine Church

• EQUIPPING God’s People for the work of the Ministry

•To BUILD UP the Body of Christ

What do we mean when we say that we are “Apostolic?”

• Apostolicity is the mark by which the Church of today is recognized as identical with the Church founded by Jesus Christ that rest upon the teaching of the Apostles.

• We us the term "Apostolic" because it indicates that there is a strong correlation between Christ and the Apostles, showing the relationship of the Church both to Christ, the founder, and to the Apostles, upon whom He entrusted the building of the Church.

• Acts 2:42, “They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”

Our Apostolic Strategy• Building LIVES and saving SOULS

• We do this by “Planning.” Planning is not an

event, but our process.

If we stop planning, we stop improving,

We build all the bridges, connections, contacts to help improve our communities and the world at large.

Our Apostolic Church Process

Raise up mature spiritual sons and daughters

who will become fruitful spiritual parents

of the next generation.

Who Are We? • Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Thank you

for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit our website. I want you to know that we here at True Vine are excited about what God is doing in our church. It is my hope that our ministry will be a valuable tool in bringing you ever closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.

• WE BELIEVE it is time for the Church to recapture the dynamic of the first century Church while being relevant in the twenty-first century. We BELIEVE that we must stay connected to Jesus and minister to the lost, the hurt, the wounded, the discouraged, the disconnected, and the dying world we live in. For this reason we are dedicated to empowering the present and future generations to fulfill their God-given destiny.  

Who Are We? • Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,

declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (NIV). I know you may be asking yourself, “what kind of church is this?” Well, we are…

• Charismatic in practice: We teach that all gifts of the Spirit are relevant to today’s church (I Cor. 12-14; Rom. 12:3-8, Eph. 4:11-16).

• Pentecostal in favor: We teach and believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Church is empowered through the Holy Spirit to be agents of God (Acts 1:8).

Who Are We? • Loving in fellowship: We teach that one of the proof of our

discipleship is the love we have for each other (Jn. 13:34-35).

• Evangelistic in Emphasis: We teach and take Jesus’ last command to go and make disciples of all nations very seriously (Mt. 28:19-20).

• Bold in faith: We teach and believe that through the help of the Lord, we can do the impossible, believe in the promises of God, and expect miracles in the name of Jesus (Lk. 1:37, 18:27).

Who Are We? • Trinitarian in belief: We believe that there is only One

God, who has revealed Himself in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.)

• Now you know a little about who we are. We thank you for the honor and privilege to contribute to your spiritual growth in the Lord. Know that we are in agreement for all your needs being met today.

• In the service of the King, • Overseer Trevor. D. Alexander +
