Our Vision
Showers of Blessing Deliverance Temple has a vision and purpose, which is: Reaching Out to Change a Nation, Bringing Families to Christ, By the Power of God, IN BROTHERLY LOVE!
Here in the temple, the Word of God is taught by our Pastor in its' simplest form, so that all may hear, understand and gain knowledge to tell others about the divine love, honor, and protection of God. Rightly divided, the Word is deposited in our spirits for salvation, encouragement, healing and growth in every area and on every level of our lives.
We are a non-denominational church. We do not believe that a certain religion is right or wrong. All we see is Jesus, and all our Pastor teaches us is the unadulterated Word of God.
God has delivered us from a world of sin, and we reach back into that world:
- to seek, find, and deliver the lost sinner
- to encourage the hurting mother
- to uplift the father who has lost hope
- to cheer up that child who has no smile
- to rescue the backslider and the addict
- to introduce Brotherly Love to the person who hasn't experienced real love
- to encourage more followers
All this is done as the Word comes "Alive" through the preaching, living, and witnessing the gospel of Jesus.
Our Purpose
To demonstrate God's love through service by witnessing and bringing people into the membership of God's family, educating them through discipleship, and developing them into the maturity of Christ likeness.
To Worship
To become aware of the Holy presence of God and to follow God’s leadership in Love. Worship is man’s adoration of Love and confession to God’s communion. “But the hour cometh, and now is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him is Spirit, and in Truth. (John 4:23-24)
To Fellowship
To welcome new members into the fellowship of the family of God, the church of the living God, and the support and foundation of the truth. Supporting, loving, and admonishing one another by assembling together, praying for, strengthening, and encouraging one another during times of trials and tribulations. Loving one another as we love ourselves. (Ephesians 2:19)
To Proclaim
To be a witness for the Gospel of Jesus Christ who came to provide salvation for man. Our church places high priority on proclaiming the Word of God because Christ commissions us to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded. (Matthew 28:19-20)
To Educate
To lead people to the knowledge and acceptance of Christ our Lord, to teach and train them to perform the functions of the Church, and to help them develop toward full Christian maturity. Christ is the example for us, “Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour of God and man”. (Luke 2:52)
To Minister
To respond to man’s needs in Love so Christ can be magnified. We are a ministering church seeking to serve man in Christ’s name without thought of personal return. We reach out in love to both Christians and non-Christians. “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my Disciples, if ye love one another. (John 13:34-35)
