We are a diverse group of former LGBTQ+ individuals, who have awakened to our true identity in Jesus by surrendering our lives—including our LGBTQ+ desires—in order to find life and transformation in JESUS. As a family united across denominations, we are a part of the first fruits and forerunners in harvesting God’s global rainbow revival within the LGBTQ+ community.
We contend through prayer for global revival within the LGBTQ+ community. We desire to show the world the beauty of repentance and remind them of God’s covenantal promises through the true meaning of the rainbow. We seek to unite and equip the Body of Christ by bridging together ministries to help us love our LGBTQ+ neighbors. We prepare the way for Christ’s return by hosting Freedom Marches across the nation.
THE ONE TRUE GOD
We believe EVERYTHING STARTS WITH GOD. Before time and space, there was God. He was and is the beginning. He is eternal, perfect, creator, sustainer, and ruler of the universe. He is the only true God. He is one in His essence but has revealed Himself to mankind as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, 26; Exodus 3:14; Deuteronomy 6:4; Psalm 19:1).
JESUS CHRIST
We believe JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. Though Jesus lived a sinless life, He was crucified on the cross for the sins of mankind, raised from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father where He makes intercession for us. His life, teachings, death, and resurrection offer the only true hope for all people (John 1:14; 3:16; 14:6; Acts 4:7; Romans 5:6-8; 1 Corinthians 15:20-21).
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD. He convicts people of sin and draws them to Jesus. He indwells the life of each believer and empowers them for obedience to God in our world. He guides us into truth and seals us for eternity. We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirt, that they are still alive and active today. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including prophecy, healing, speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, words of wisdom and knowledge, discernment of spirits, faith, and miracles, are still active and available to believers today. These gifts are given by the Spirit to edify the church, equip the saints for ministry, and demonstrate the power and presence of God in the world. (John 14:5-15; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 12:1-11; Ephesians 1:13-14).
GOD-INSPIRED SCRIPTURES
We believe The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to men, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason. The Bible is authoritative for every believer and it provides the counsel of God for life (2 Timothy 3:15, 17; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12).
SALVATION
We believe SALVATION IS GOD’S GIFT OF GRACE THROUGH FAITH TO ALL WHO BELIEVE. Because our sin separates us from God, every person needs redemption and transformation, which is only available through believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of our personal sin, and accepting Him as Lord and Savior (John 14:6; 1 Corinthians 1:9, 8:6). Through God’s grace, a person can be reconciled with God and receive His gift of salvation (Romans 1:16-18; 3:23; 6:23; 10:9-13; Ephesians 2:8-9).
SANTIFICATION PROCESS
By the power of the Holy Spirit we strive to obey the command, “Be ye holy, for I am holy.” Sanctification is the will of God for all believers, and should be earnestly pursued by walking in obedience to God’s Word (Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15, 16; 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24; 1 John 2:6). We believe THE GOSPEL IS TRANSFORMATIONAL. Because all have sinned, we are all in need of redemption (Romans 3:23, 6:23). This is the reason Jesus died on the cross for our sins and was raised to life again (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). He paid the penalty for our sin so that we might be reconciled with God (Mark 1:14-15; Rom. 3:25, 1 John 2:2; 4:10). As children of God through faith in Jesus Christ, we experience a transformed life, submitted and obedient to God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; John 10:10). The grace of God offered in Jesus Christ is not merely a pardon for one’s sins, but also an empowerment by the Spirit of Christ to a new life lived for the glory of God (Romans 6:14; 7:5-6; 8:12-14; Galatians 2:19-20; 5:18; James 2:18-19; 2 Peter 1:2-4; 1 John 2:4, Revelation 12:11).
BAPTISM IN WATER
The ordinance of BAPTISM BY BURIAL WITH CHRIST should be observed (as commanded in the Scriptures) by all that have repented of their sins and in their hearts have believed on Christ as their Savior and Lord. In doing so, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they have also been released to walk with Him in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Acts 19:4-7, 48; Romans 6:4).
GENDER
We believe that MAN IS CREATED BY GOD UNIQUELY MALE OR UNIQUELY FEMALE. God created human beings as male and female (Gen. 1:27). The complementary, relational nature of the human race as “male and female” reflects the created order given by God when He created human beings “in His image” (Gen. 1:26-27; 5:1, 3; 9:6; 1 Cor. 11:7; James 3:9; cf. Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:23-24; Col. 3:10). Both sexes are beloved of God and both reflect the image of God in unique ways (Genesis 1:27-29, 2:18-24).
MARRIAGE
We believe MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN ONE BIOLOGICALLY BORN MALE AND ONE BIOLOGICALLY BORN FEMALE, FOR LIFE. God created male and female, each a complement to the other (Genesis 1:26-28, 2:18-24). Marriage between a man and a woman prefigures the union of God and His people and Christ and the church. From the very beginning, God’s goal has been to enter into an eternal covenant of marriage with those who love Him (Isaiah 54:5-8; 61:10; 62:4-5; Jeremiah 2:2; Ezekiel 16:8; Hosea 2:16-20; Ephesians 5:21-33; Revelation 19:7-9). On earth, God designed marriage primarily for procreation, spiritual refinement, and service to each other, God, and His Kingdom (Genesis 1:28; Ephesians 5:21-33).
HUMAN DIGNITY
We UPHOLD THE INHERENT DIGNITY AND WORTH OF EVERY HUMAN BEING, created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We are committed to loving our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:39) and upholding justice, mercy, and humility in our actions (Micah 6:8). Our mission is to honor and protect human dignity by promoting compassion, respect, and equality for all people, as we serve and reflect Christ’s love in the world (Galatians 3:28).
CHRIST WILL RETURN
We believe that CHRIST WILL RETURN. Those who have believed in Christ will be resurrected to reign with Him in a new earth. They will live eternally in the glory of God’s presence to love and worship Him (Daniel 7:14; John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; Revelation 5:8-14, 19:5-7).
