Who We Are:
We are a Spirit Filled church located just outside of Perryville, Arkansas on Harris Brake Lake. We offer kingdom minded spiritual growth, a family atmosphere, and we welcome all to our congregation.
Founded:
This Ministry was birthed through GODs vision given to Robert T. Houston, Sr aka (Pastor Bob) in August of 2007. Pastor Bob was called by GOD and ordained on August 5th 2009, at Soul's Anchor Ministries, Wye Mt., Arkansas, 72016 for this Ministry..
Purpose:
The Charter of this Ministry is:
1. To worship GOD, who is worthy of all praise, honor, and glory.
2. To serve GOD locally, nationally, and internationally by fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ as set forth in Matthew 28:19-20.
3. To minister to the spiritual and physical needs of Christians and non-Christians as the Ministry has been ordained of GOD to do so.
4. To live and disciple as a witness to the New Covenant of Grace.
Articles of Faith:
1. We believe the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of GOD, without any error, the all-sufficient authority in matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living.
2. We believe in one GOD, eternally existing in three manifestations: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ; He is the one true GOD and man; He died on the cross for our sins; He rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and Advocate.
4. We believe that man was created in the image of GOD but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through regeneration by Grace through Faith can salvation be achieved and eternal life with GOD attained.
5. We believe that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter; He guides us in all areas of our lives; He blesses us with Spiritual Gifts and empowers us to yield the Fruit of the Spirit.
6. We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of GOD, entirely apart from the works of man, and is possessed by all who are saved by Grace and through faith receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
7. We believe in baptism by immersion, whenever possible; however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation. We baptize by the authority given to us in the Name of Jesus and baptize into the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the fullness of the GODhead.
8. We believe the Lord's Supper is a memorial to our Lord's suffering and death on the cross to be observed routinely, as we do, "in remembrance of Him."
9. We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His Second Coming inspires believers for a dynamic and zealous life of Holiness and service for Him while waiting for His return.
10. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting punishment and separation from GOD of the unsaved in hell.
11, We believe in the five-fold ministry listed in Eph.4:11 for the edification of the Saints.
12. We believe in working within the Gifts of the Spirit listed in 1 Cor. 12:8-10
13. We believe in the autonomy of this Ministry and it shall manage its own affairs and shall not be subject to any other religious body or organization.
14. We believe GOD wants to transform, heal, and prosper us, so that we can live blessed and victorious lives that will impact and benefit others.
15. We believe we are called to preach the Gospel to all nations.
