Mission: Kingdom Discipleship

As a threefold ministry, our mission is to activate, equip, and launch the family of God as supernatural influencers to minister in all spheres of society. They will radically display the love of God through signs, wonders, and miracles. Through creativity, they will bring heavenly solutions to their jobs, business, and vocations. We do this through our local church expression, discipleship community, ministries, and institute.

Identify

When we see Papa God as He is, then we will see ourselves as He sees us. Then we will discover our true identity, who He created us to be, and how we can express our calling in a transformative way.

Equip

Identity and supernatural activation adds heavenly experience to our lives and transforms us into those who can lead from heaven to earth.

Activate

We are created in God’s image to be amazing, creative, and supernatural. He demonstrates His love and power in us through supernatural gifts. SOR creates a safe environment to activate these gifts.

Launch

When we are equipped to lead from heaven to earth, we will impact the culture in our sphere of influence and restore creation to God’s design.

Vision: Transforming Culture

Our definition of "Revival" is when all creation is restored to God's original design. We feel this is accomplished through Ekklesia: A Church Family who creates a Community that transforms Culture. As such, our programs are designed to produce supernatural influencers who can demonstrate the power and love of Jesus.

Beliefs: Kingdom | Trinitarian | Charismatic

We subscribe to the basic tenants of Christian Faith and the Nicene Creed. Our belief system is one that values the many viewpoints within the Body of Christ across denominational lines. We all see in part and through honor and communication, we can all grow in our understanding of God, the bible, the church, and His heart for all creation. Inasmuch, we also identify with certain beliefs that match our calling, personality, and spiritual heritage.

  • Identity - We identify as a kingdom-focused ministry who believe that the Kingdom of God is present on the earth now and that it is advancing towards fullness through the church, the agency of the kingdom.

  • Theology - We align with Trinitarian Theology that is rooted in the early church and expressed in the Nicene and Apostle’s Creeds. We believe in the Trinity- Father, Son, and Spirit and humanity’s inclusion through the Incarnation of Christ.

  • Pneumatology - We believe in the full operation and gifts of the Holy Spirit in the church today and that the presence of God is available to all.

  • Soteriology - We believe that salvation was delivered to humanity through the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ and provides salvation to all creation. Those who choose to participate with this Good Message know God as He knows them and experience His presence and joy.

  • Eschatology - We believe in victorious eschatology, that the culmination of God’s plan is the union of heaven and earth and that through the life of Christ, all will experience their eternal place in God’s family.

  • Transformation - We believe that all are growing in Christ in measure to their faith and that all may see and experience Him differently. We also believe that in Christ and Creation, we see God’s heart and blueprint for us to experience fullness as sons and daughters. Knowing this fullness is knowing our identity or image in Him. Where this fullness has yet to take root, we may be operating in imagelessness (sin) in areas of our lives. While we are already forgiven, we may be growing in our understanding of forgiveness as we transform (metanoia) our lives more and more into His image.

  • Bibliology - We believe that the Bible is the metanarrative of God’s heart for humanity. It reveals the Living Word, Jesus, and invites us to know and experience Him.

  • Design - We believe God’s design is inclusive for all, but evidence of the Spirit looks like an actively transforming life. God’s family is mirrored in the Trinity and the blueprint for family is revealed in the Creator and Creation, Heaven and Earth, and Husband and Wife design found in Genesis and in the New Testament. A healthy and free life will follow God’s eternal, redemptive, and restorative plan for all humanity. Freedom for all isn’t freedom to sin (remaining outside of His image) but freedom from sin (being transformed by His image).

  • Unity - We believe in the unity of the Body of Christ. Unity is found not in agreement on every doctrine or worship expression, but through valuing one another as the family of God. Our learning environment honors views within the tenants of the Christian faith but understands that we all have different lenses through which we experience God.
