Our Statement of Faith

The Person of God

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6).

We believe God the Father is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. God is absolutely holy, righteous and just (Exodus 15:11; Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalms 36:6; Psalms 62:11; Psalms 139:2-4; Psalms 147:5).

We believe in the absolute deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and the absolute humanity of our Lord through His virgin birth. We believe in the sinless life of our Lord, though He was tempted at all points in His humanity. We believe in His suffering and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in glory and power (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 53:4-6; Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:12-14; John 3:16; Acts 2:22-33; Romans 5:6-10; 1 Corinthians 15:3-7; Ephesians 1:18-23; Hebrews 4:15).

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. He is the agent of God in the regeneration of the lost. He is the gift of Christ to the church, indwelling all believers, sealing them in the body of Christ unto the day of redemption. He is the divine teacher who guides believers in all truth. He imparts the gifts of the Spirit as found in Scripture (John 14:16,17; John 15:26; John 16:7-15; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Ephesians 1:13,14; Titus 3:4-7).

The Holy Scriptures

We believe the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testament, to be inspired of God and to be the revelation of God to man, inerrant and infallible. They are the supreme and final authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Peter 3:16).

Man

We believe that man is created in the image of God, but the entire race of man was separated from God through sin. We believe no man can reconcile himself with God. Therefore man remains separated from God until he is regenerated through faith in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit (Genesis. 1:26,27; Romans 3:9-12; Romans 3:22-24; Romans 5:1,10,11; 2 Corinthians 5:17-19; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Sin

We believe sin is the lack of conformity to the will of God or transgression of the law of God. Sin is manifest in the selfishness, rebellion and total depravity of man’s attitude, conduct, and behavior before God and man (Romans 3:9-18; Romans 14:23; Ephesians 2:1-3; 1 John 3:4; 1 John 5:17; James 4:17).

Salvation

We believe salvation is the gift of God by grace, received through individual personal repentance, belief that Jesus Christ died and rose again, and a personal confession yielding one’s life to Jesus. (Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:3-12).

The Church

We believe that the church is composed of all those who have received salvation (been born-again) everywhere. We believe that the local church is comprised of believers in Jesus Christ who come together in devotion to the Lord and one another for mutual worship, instruction, conformity to the Lord’s will and Christian service. We believe all believers are called by God into specific local churches (Matthew 16:18; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11; Colossians 1:24; Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Peter 2:4-6).

Mission of the Church

The mission of the church is to demonstrate the power and reality of the Kingdom of God on the earth by fulfilling Jesus’ great commission to go into all the world preaching the Kingdom of God is at hand. This specifically being through the transformation of people’s lives into the likeness of Jesus by the power of the cross of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The biblical means of accomplishing Jesus’ commission is evangelism and discipleship. God fulfills His purpose for His church through local churches (Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 10:7; Matthew 25:37-40; Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 3:10,11).

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is distinct from the new birth. It is the initial filling of God’s power for witness and godly living. Those who receive the baptism in the Spirit are able to receive and function in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; John 3:3; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 8:14-17; Acts 19:1-7; 1 Corinthians 14).

The Second Coming of Christ

We believe that just as Jesus the Christ came once to save the world, he will soon return again to bring all who claim him as Lord and Savior of their lives into the fullness of the Kingdom of God. This will include all who are alive at the time of his coming and all the saints who have lived before us. The specific day of his second coming will arrive without notice (Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

• Support and ministry to orphans and widows in several countries
• Speaking at schools, full gospel meetings, women's retreats, bible colleges, Christian retreat centers, prisons, and other groups
• Reaching the needs of people through food, clothing, and furniture give aways
• Working with leaders and congregations to develop harmony in reaching their communities and experience church growth

Evangelist Joan Pearce is powerfully anointed by God and operates in the gifts of the Holy Spirit... for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry... Eph. 4:12

Pastors and leaders, our hearts desire is to be a blessing to you. We offer the following meetings, workshops and seminars to assist you in equipping your saints.

The Holy Spirit School of Evangelism: Joan teaches and trains your congregation how to step out and do life-style evangelism among their neighbors and coworkers. Joan will take them out to do a variety of outreaches where your members will get on-hands training that will last them a life-time.

Church Growth Seminars: Joan will work with your congregation so that they will learn how to serve God first, and learn to honor and respect their pastors and leadership. She will teach the church how to function in unity, helping them find their talents and giftings, so that when they work together it will cause church growth.

Tent Meetings/Revivals: Channel of Love has a tent that seats a thousand people. Joan and Marty can come and work with your church, along with others, to see the community reached for Jesus. These meetings do two things: 1) your members are used of God in their gifts and callings; and 2) newly saved people will be discipled and cause your church to grow.

Holy Spirit Explosions: Evangelist Joan will teach on the operations and manifestations of the Holy Spirit with demonstrations of God's power and anointing. She will teach your people how to be sensitive to all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. She will allow time in several of the meetings to allow your members to step out and experience God using them. She will take them on outreaches where they will be able to pray for the sick and move in the gifts of the Spirit in hospitals, nursing homes, and take the power of God in to the community.

Miracle and Prophetic Services: These meetings are for the sick and hurting to have the opportunity to come into God's presence to receive miracles, healing, salvation, deliverance, and a touch from God. These revival meetings can be from one day to two weeks or longer, to give God the glory and create and atmosphere of expectant faith.

Joan's Bio:

Evangelist Joan Pearce was radically saved in 1977, and shortly afterwards moved to Washington State.

There she was greatly inspired and discipled by the daughter and son-in-law of the late Evangelist John G. Lake. God asked Joan to do Bible Studies, even though she couldn’t read. Joan recognized God’s hand was on her, and that He was calling her into ministry.

Her heart cry is for souls and to fulfill Luke 4:18–19, "to preach the gospel to the poor," heal the brokenhearted, and bring healing and freedom to the hurting and oppressed – "to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

For over twenty-five years Joan has been in full-time ministry. Today she and Marty continue to minister, across the United States and overseas.

They spearhead "God is Taking the City" campaigns, seeing churches come together in unity to evangelize their cities. They also do revivals, church meetings, and city-wide crusades where thousands come to Jesus.

Part of Joan and Marty’s ministry is to teach practical evangelism classes and to conduct Holy Spirit Miracle Services where there are many notable and creative miracles. They have a heart to feed and clothe the needy and have ministered to the poor throughout the world.

Joan is on international TV and on radio across the United States. Joan and Marty are fulfilling God’s great commission to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel" (Mark 16:15.)
