New Olivet's Mission Statement

As members of The NEW Olivet Baptist Church, we believe in the 5-fold ministry gifts of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher.

 

As members of The NEW Olivet Baptist Church, we believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.

 

Our special mission, as we faithfully execute The Plan (Sunday Morning, Sunday Night, & Wednesday Night), is to reform the Baptist Church from the inside out by becoming a spiritual manufacturing plant where the gifts and the fruit of the Spirit combine to change our worlds.

 

New Olivet's Vision

Our Vision is to create wealth and to leave wealth for our children’s children.

 

New Olivet's Statement of Faith

We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testament, are verbally inspired by God; the revelation of God to man; the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Tim. 3:15-17).


We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has been revealed as One God existing in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; coeternal, coequal; distinguishable but indivisible (Matt. 28:19).

 

We believe in the creation and fall of mankind. We believe in mankind’s total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to Divine Righteousness without Divine intervention (Rom. 5:12, 18).

 

We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man. We believe that He died on the cross, was buried and on the third day was bodily resurrected. We believe that He personally appeared to the disciples and bodily ascended into heaven to the right hand of His Father (John 1:18; Isa. 7:14; 1 Cor. 15:1-4; Rom 4:25).

 

We believe in salvation by grace through repentance and faith in the perfect and sufficient work of the cross of Calvary (Eph. 2:8-9; Heb. 9:12,22; Rom. 5:22).

 

We believe that the purposes of the Church are as follows: being a corporate body in which man may worship God, being a channel of God’s purposes in the earth and being an organism for training and equipping the Body of Christ for evangelism, service and other works of ministry (1 Cor. 12:13; Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Eph. 4:11-16; 1 Cor. 12:28; 1 Cor. 14:12).

 

We believe in the present supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit including the indwelling inner workings and baptism of His person in the believer. We believe in the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith. We believe in the multiplicity of spiritual gifts and supernatural signs that follow those who believe. Some of which include: words of knowledge, faith, gift of healings, workings of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, various kinds of tongues and their interpretation (2 Cor. 7:1; Acts 4:30; Rom. 12 1-2; Rom. 8:11; Heb. 2:3-4; Acts 2:1-4; 1 Cor. 12-14).

 

We believe in the resurrection of believers into everlasting life and blessing in Heaven and the resurrection of unbelievers into everlasting punishment in the torments of hell (John 3:16; John 5:24; Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thess. 1:9; Rev. 20:10-15; John 5:28-29; 1 Cor. 15:51-52).

 

We believe in the personal, literal and bodily return of Jesus Christ in power and glory at the King of kings and Lord of lords (1 Thess. 4:13-18; Zech. 14:5; Matt. 24:27, 30; Rev. 1:7; Rev. 19:11-14; Rev. 20:1-6).
