Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
We believe it is our job to make your walk in the Lord established!
We believe it is our job to find the lost, institute what they need to know in acting upon it, or building on what they already know; and bring all into being on a solid rock foundation in Christ Jesus. (Luke 6:48)

Pastor Russell Bell Jr. has been anointed according to the grace of God as a wise master builder. He has digged deep in the Word of God since his born again experience laying rock solid foundations for believers for over 25 years.
1 Corinthians 3:10: According to the grace of God which is given unto me as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation;
Luke 6:48: He is like a man which built a house and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

We believe that it is our responsibility to feed you starting from the milk of God’s Word to the meat. We do this through Believer meetings that are held weekly at the Church in intervals. We take this very seriously in giving account for your very soul. Believer meetings are by member invitation only in which we teach you the Good Word of God and without dogs. Here you are taught to understand, receive and give anointing’s, impartations, intercessions, identify offices, gifts of Spirit, wisdom, judgements, equity, rich towards God, how to take the wealth of the wicked, laying on of hands, faith toward God, meditation (God’s way), baptisms, ministry giving, the force of faith, repentance from dead works, teaching your lips how to answer, eternal judgment, holding fast confession, walking in love and the list goes on.
