Greater Works Outreach The vision of Greater Works Outreach is to raise up committed believers and release them to prepare and equip others to enjoy abundant life through team ministry based on the demonstration of faith by personal example and the impartation of faith through the teaching and preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an atmosphere of unconditional love.

Statement of Beliefs 1. The Bible, in its entirety, is the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith (II Timothy 3:16). 2. There is one God, Maker of all things, being in Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; John 15:26; II Corinthians 13:14). 3. Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is true God and true man (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:27-38). 4. There is personal salvation for believers through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:28; Revelation 1:5). 5. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit, accompanied by the initial sign of speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit of God gives utterance (as in Acts 2:4), is distinct from the new birth experience (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:4,5; Acts 1:8). 6. The gifts of the Spirit, listed in I Corinthians 12, are now available to all believers (I Corinthians 12:4-10). 7. There is divine healing, through faith, included in the atonement (Isaiah 53:5; I Peter 2:24). 8. The casting out of demons is an essential part of Christ’s commission to the church (Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17) 9. Intensive world evangelism and missionary work with signs following is the Lord’s Great Commission to the church (Mark 16:15; Mark 16:20). 10. There will be a resurrection of the dead with eternal happiness for the saved, eternal punishment for the lost (John 3:16-18; John 11:25, 26). 11. The Christian’s hope is the imminent, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 4:16, 17; Titus 2:13). 12. Water Baptism follow our conversion is not a requirement for salvation but is strongly encouraged (Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-6). 13. Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God (Genesis 2:24).
