GOD

We believe that there is one God who eternally exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this Earth as Savior of the world

The Bible

We believe the entire Bible—both Old and New Testaments—is the inspired, infallible word of God, and the authority on which we base our faith, conduct and beliefs

Salvation

We believe Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. We believe that salvation is found by placing our faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross. That Jesus rose from the dead and now sits in authority with God the Father in Heaven and will someday return to Earth according to the Bible.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit who came from the Father and Son and empowers all who believe in Christ. We practice the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the spiritual gifts found in the Bible

Baptism and Communion

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ committed to us baptism and the Lord’s Supper (communion). We believe in water baptism by immersion and that communion is open to all believers.

Relationships

We believe every believer should be in a growing relationship with Jesus by following God’s Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit and by being transformed into the image of Christ.

Love

the living spiritual body, of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members.

Core Values

We practice our beliefs through our core values:

The Core Values of InLight Connection

We Love, Not Judge

We choose to love, not judge. We aspire to serve and love all people well. We see each person through the eyes of the Creator and see their potential, instead of their current mistakes or behavior. We show God’s love to every person with whom we interact. We practice unconditional love for others, and we will embrace godly character without compromise.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12 NIV

We Hear God Daily

We equip people to connect to God personally every day. We believe every person has the ability to hear from God and that God speaks to us in many ways—through the Bible, dreams, visions, angelic encounters, and many other ways, including modern day parables.

’In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Acts 2:17 NIV

We Are Powerfully Positive

God’s love and nature are positive, so we align and agree with that in our lives. When we see negative attacks or situations, we choose to flip things to the positive. We speak and prophesy a solution, not the problem. We stay powerfully positive—having a confident expectation in what God is doing—and we keep our heads up despite the magnitude of the winds and waves.

Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. Philippians 4:8b TLB

We Are Naturally Supernatural

We demonstrate God’s love and power in down-to-earth practical ways so people of all walks of life can receive it. We avoid insider or religious (“Christianese”) language and desire to speak in a naturally supernatural way.

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel … Ephesians 6:19 NIV

We Activate Destiny

We believe everyone has a unique, God-given destiny and a life purpose to do what God calls them to do in His timing. We equip people with resources, tools and strategies to discover, pursue and activate their destiny.

“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.” Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

We Are Fun & Playful

God is not frowning, so why would we? We aim to bring fun and play into all we do. We don’t take ourselves too seriously because God is fun and playful with us, too. We have fun working together. Life in the kingdom can be fun!

A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing … Proverbs 17:22a AMP

We Are Agents of Change

Some have presented the message of Jesus negatively, so one of our assignments from God is to be change agents. In a world that desperately needs hope, we do everything in our power to extend love and encouragement. We intentionally go against the negative tide to lead a new paradigm of love and be a spiritual MASH unit (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital).

… God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38 NKJV

We Embrace Health and Wholeness

God created us body, soul and spirit, so we are living examples of His craftsmanship. We believe, practice and teach healthy lifestyles and consider our bodies to be temples of the Holy Spirit. We also value God’s creation by caring for the environment and well-being of others.

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own … 1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV
