WHAT WE BELIEVE

Our very core belief is found in Matthew 28, where Jesus tells his disciples to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always.” Our mission is to teach and train those according to the word of God while seeing people set free and being made new again by the blood of Jesus. We believe everyone has something to contribute to the mission of bringing hope.

THE BASIC ELEMENTS

We believe the life of following Jesus is a journey.  There are many ups and downs, but like everything in life there are basic elements that give us what we need throughout the journey. These basic elements (like those we find in the natural world) are not only life giving but life sustaining. Without them we would die.  Likewise, without these basic elements being present in a persons life his/her spiritual vitality would be at stake.  These elements are more important than anything.  Many have mastered “doctrine” or “theology” but have found themselves no better off than anyone else who has not nurtured a personal relationship with Jesus.

Reading

The bible is inspired by God, therefore it is the main avenue He uses to speak to us.

Praying

Our way of talking to God, we cannot expect Him to be active in our lives without asking.

Fasting

An excellent discipline that  can give us the focus we need to understand God.

Giving

Sacrificially from all we have is a cure for selfishness and an avenue of blessing.

Serving

The best way to experience Jesus. He served.

AFFILIATION

Assemblies of God

Warwick Hope is affiliated with a group of churches known as the Assemblies of God (AG). There are over 2.8 million people in the United States and over 52.5 million adherents worldwide who are affiliated with this growing church family called the Assemblies of God. There are 12,277 churches across the U.S. who are a part of the Assemblies. Some will say that the Assemblies of God is one of the fastest growing churches of its kind in the world, but that would be really difficult to measure. A better statement is God continues to show great favor and blessing to the Assemblies of God as this movement of people are striving to fulfill the will and purpose of the Lord.

Our affiliation does not mean Warwick Assembly is controlled by a parent organization. The Assemblies of God believes that the best leadership for a community is found at the local level. We are owned and operated by the local membership here at Warwick Assembly. The emphasis and control of AG churches are at the grass roots local level.
