What We Believe
About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He
exists eternally in three personalities: the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are coequal
and are one God.
Genesis 1:1,
26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19, 1 Peter 1:2;
2 Corinthians
13:14

About
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and
the light of the World. He is coequal with the Father.
Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself
as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by
dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three
days to demonstrate His Power over sin and death. He
ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to
earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22,23;
Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 2 Corinthians
15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Tats 2:13

About
Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to man.
Man can never make up for his sin by self- improvement
or good works. Only by trusting in the redemptive work
of Jesus Christ, God's offer of forgiveness, can man
be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life with God begins
the moment one, by faith, trusts Jesus Christ as Savior
and Lord.
Romans 6:32; Ephesians
2:8,9; John 14:6, Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26;
Romans 5:1

About
The Bible
The Bible is God's Word to all men.
It was written by human authors, under the supernatural
guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ONLY supreme
source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because
it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture
of error. 2 Timothy 3:16;
2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 12:6, 119:105, 160;
Proverbs
30:5

About
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is coequal with God
the Father and God the Son. He is present in the world
to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ.
He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.
He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding
of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right.
The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17;
John 16:7-13, 4:16,17; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16;

About
The Church
The universal church is comprised of all people,
throughout the centuries, who through faith in Jesus
Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. A
local church is any group of believers who gather together
for worship, and evangelism of a lost world. Believers
are to live their lives for the glory of God and the
well-being of others. |
Pastors
Prayer Fellowship was birthed in 1988 by two local
pastors: John Strong and J. R. Young. They began to
invite others to join them in prayer for the city
of Santa Rosa. Soon a small group of pastors gathered
every week to ask God how they could serve his purposes
in the city? They soon found themselves praying for
the youth of the city and inviting young people to
come and share with the pastors how to pray for the
needs of youth. 
We
have our annual Prayer Summit with Tom White the second
Monday through Thursday every October and God keeps
bringing new leaders. There are over 100 pastors and
ministry leaders who've attended the prayer meeting
now, with an average of 30 to 50 attending on any given
Wednesday morning.
