1. Agree 

NCF Statement of Faith 

You probably have heard the Moravian motto:  In essentials UNITY.   In non-essentials LIBERTY.  In all things CHARITY. 

In the NCF that model looks like this:  We hold a few believes tightly.  We hold most beliefs, loosely.  We hold on to our brother in every situation. 

This is the very short list of beliefs that we must agree upon: 

• We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God  (2 Tim. 3:16-17) 

• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit  (Isaiah 44:8, 2 Cor. 13:14)

• We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in  His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement  through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to  the right hand of the Father,and in His present priestly ministry. (1 Tim 3:16; Romans 3:25-26) 

• We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor. (Acts 1:8, Mark 16:15-18) We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by  the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping  power of God.  (Hebrews 9:22; Jude 24-25)

• We believe that sanctification, holiness, and the overcoming life is God’s design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ. (Ephesians 5:25-27)

• We believe that water baptism is for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and is to be administered by immersion, thus bearing witness to the Gospel of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection for us, and our own new life in Him. (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4)

• We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost  and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in  charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit  of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.  (Acts 2:4; Acts 10:46)

• We believe in divine healing and is obtained on the basis  of the Atonement.  (1 Peter 2:24; Matt 8:17)

• We believe in Christ’s imminent personal return in power and great glory and in His everlasting dominion.  (Acts 1:8; Rev 1:7; Daniel 7:14)  

Nations 3 Core Values  

Evangelism 

• We are an evangelistic community; we believe every Christian is called to reach others with the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We strive to reach out to as many people as possible as a Church with the life-transforming truth of Jesus Christ. We are a community of evangelism and evangelists. The earliest iteration of Nations Church was formed by members of our Evangelism Bootcamp. We love and support our Bootcamp students and graduates both here in Orlando and around the world. They serve with us when they are in session and go into all the world with the power of the Gospel upon graduation.  We believe in winning SOULS! From 1974, when CfaN was started by  Evangelist Bonnke, and 2021, when Nations Church began, we have been a people who have a burden for the lost. We believe the Gospel is the power of God unto SALVATION. We believe in sharing Jesus with our region and the world. At Nations, you will find groups going out weekly (sometimes daily) to win the lost. We believe in praying, giving,  and going so that the Gospel can go forth and souls will be won. “And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to  the whole creation.’”– Mark 16:15 ESV  

Revival 

• Core to who we are as a church and movement is the recognition  that we are in deep need of Holy Spirit revival.  We believe revival is when God encounters His people super naturally  and extraordinarily in a way that leads to repentance, deep spiritual hunger and change. Nations Church was born of revival. Our leaders  are children of revival. We carry a legacy of revival and seek to  impart it to the generations to come after us. We believe God will use  this family to be a part of bringing revival to Orlando, to America and to  the world once again.  Psalm 85:6-7, “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may  rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy  salvation.”  We are a church that yields to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We seek  to foster an atmosphere in which the third person of the Trinity is  welcome to encounter us through His presence, His gifts, and His  influence. We believe in the continuation of the Gifts of the Spirit as  listed in 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, and elsewhere in the New Testament.  

Five-Fold Ministry  

• We are a church community that intentionally operates in the  apostolic 5-Fold offices as described in Ephesians chapter four. You will see all FIVE offices (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor,  Teacher) operating in our services and community regularly to properly  “equip the saints” and “build up the body” unto “maturity”. We believe  its essential to the Church that the fivefold office giftings are  encouraged and demonstrated. We are stronger when we work  together in the diversity of gifts the Lord has distributed to the Church.  Ephesians 4:9-16   “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry,  for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the  faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to  the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no  longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful  schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in  every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole  body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow  so that it builds itself up in love.”   We embrace and celebrate our different giftings and differences as the Body of Christ. We are diverse, not only in our giftings, but our  cultures, backgrounds, nationalities, personalities, and races. We  understand that our differences do not divide us but make us stronger  as a church. We celebrate our diversity as we are united in Him.   Revelation 7:9-10 “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could  number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,  standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white  robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud  voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”  

2. Belong 

It is our deepest desire to be a relational fellowship of ministers and  ministries. We are not asking you to join an organization. We are  asking you to become part of a global family. We offer multiple ways for you to connect with the ministers and the  ministries that make up the Nations church fellowship and we expect  that you will be connected.  We are asking you to be a part of the family, not in name only but in  commitment to your brothers and sisters, in the work of the gospel.

• Live a life and lead a ministry that Carry and represent the DNA of  CfaN and Nations Church.
• Live a life and lead a ministry that exemplifies our global family’s core  values.
• Live a life and lead a ministry that is forcefully perusing the expansion  of the kingdom of God through His manifest presence and love and the  declaration of the gospel.
• Live a life and lead a ministry that seek to exemplify the unbreakable, love and unity of our triune God. 

3. Contribute  

We believe that in a healthy family, everyone contributes. As a part of  the Nations family, NCF Members will contribute not only their gifts and  talents, but also their financial support. As we build this network  together, we are convinced that this global family will disciple the nations and be a catalyst for an unprecedented harvest.   As a fellowship of revival focus churches we will send forth an army of  spirit filled evangelist who will start churches that will cover the Earth,  like the water covers, the Sea.  We do not seek a gift, we seek fruit that will abound to your account!

Together we can do MORE!  Nations Church Fellowship member churches must agree to the NCF  financial contribution commitment.

• Annual Mission Contribution All NCF Member Churches are expected to contribute to the Mission of  Christ for all Nations through the NCF. The contribution is expected to  be the minimum equivalent of not less than 5% of the church’s annual  income. You are free to give more but 5% is only a minimum.  We have intentionally kept this annual contribution at the low  expectation of 5%, which is considerably below the financial contributions required by most denominations. We are not a denomination. We are a movement. There will be other opportunities to give as you feel led by the Spirit to do so. 
• One free-will offering One free will offering will be received annually that will be used for the funding of new church plants.  As the Lord leads, there will be opportunities for NCF Members to sow into the myriad of Kingdom ventures in the global network. 
• Our commitment to you  Funds received from NCF affiliate churches will be used to support global and home missions for the purpose of reaching the lost for  Jesus Christ through evangelistic outreach, and church planting. The NCF is committed to financial transparency. Using resources gathered to spread evangelistic reach, to strengthen and to start evangelistic, revival focused, spirit filled churches around the globe.Your church will immediately increase your global harvest and multiply  your missions impact through your partnership with the NCF and Christ  for all nations.  Every week you will be able to join with us and declare the hundreds of  thousands that are being saved every seven days through the work of  this global combine harvester that is Christ for all nations. By uniting  our voices we will amplify our impact.  Together we will do MORE!

NCF covering does NOT include: 

• Does not include oversight of local church matters such as financial management or conflict resolution. The NCF exists to support and guide, but not to oversee.

• Does not include direct unfiltered access, or personal connection to Nations Church Senior Leaders. Every NCF church is independent and we expect that each pastor will have a healthy support system in place to successfully manage their organization. We are here to mentor, but we cannot manage.

• Does not include ordination credentials. The NCF is a non denominational fellowship of local churches. The sacred action of ordination is performed by each local church, or by the credentialing agencies that the local churches partner with.

• The NCF is not a denomination, it is a fellowship. Partnership is relational not legal. The NCF maintains no legal connection to your local church. Our connection is relational.
