About Us...
At Kaufman Assembly, we strive to connect people with God and with each other. We have fun doing it!
Each week, you will experience a worship setting with the goal of creating the atmosphere for you to encounter Jesus. After all, one encounter with Jesus can change everything!
Our passion is loving God and loving people. We are a church powered by prayer. A place where the impossible happens. We are a family made up of imperfect people who are absolutely in love with Jesus and are fueled by the desire to help others fall in love with Jesus as well.
We are committed to growth. A church that knows everyone always has a NEXT STEP. A church committed to helping people take that step and helping to guide people to discover their own redemptive purpose and live the life God created for them.
Our Core Values...
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV)
LOVING GOD
PRAYER DIRECTED
Prayer is how we rewrite history before it happens. We believe that if we pray regularly, irregular things will regularly happen.
PRESENCE DRIVEN
We believe one encounter with Jesus can change everything. Everything we do has the primary purpose of providing people with an encounter with Jesus.
PASSIONATE WORSHIP
We are people of His Spirit. We aren’t weak when it comes to worship but rather are noticeably expressive. We are creative in our expressions of worship and when it comes to serving God we have an attitude of “We get to do this!”
EXPECTANT FAITH
We are dreamers. We anticipate the miraculous. Because nothing is impossible for God, we are eternally optimistic. We ask big and expect bigger.
LOVING PEOPLE
A HOUSE OF HOPE
Hope changes everything. We are hope distributors. We speak life and plant seeds of promise.
A PLACE OF GRACE
We are a safe place to belong before you believe. We make room for people and all of their baggage. We are a refuge and place of inclusion and acceptance for all people. Grace doesn’t just cover us—grace transforms us.
A HEALTHY COMMUNITY
We embrace diversity and strive for unity. We deal with division quickly and in love. We honor the past without living in it. We love having fun together. We know how to laugh and cry together equally well. We are always growing because healthy things always do.
NEXT STEPS
Every life is filled with divine potential. There is always a next step. We are a place where anyone can be equipped for Kingdom purposes. A community where we are always growing and where leaders are born.
IMPACTING THE WORLD
“19 Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, 20 and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world.”
Matthew 28:19,20 (CEV)
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.”
1 Corinthians 4:20 (NIV)
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people all about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 (NLT)
EXTRAVAGANT GENEROSITY
Because God gave extravagantly we do too. Generosity is a reflection of God’s character and an act of worship. We believe you can never out- give God and that when you take care of the warfront, God takes care of the homefront. We know that as we sow generously, God will multiply our seed for sowing and increase the harvest of our righteousness.
(2 Corinthians 9:10)
SENDING CHURCH
God calls ordinary people to make a global impact. Kaufman Assembly is a place where people learn to serve and are often sent to serve elsewhere. From within our walls, individuals respond to the call of God to minister outside our walls.
OUTWARD REACHING
“The church is the only institution that exists primarily for the benefit of those who are not its members.” - William Temple.
Our focus is not primarily on ourselves but on being expressions of Christ’s love to those beyond our property lines.
KINGDOM BUILDERS
A group of people advancing the Kingdom of God in the church, community, and world through an on-going, above-and- beyond the tithe, stewardship emphasis. Kingdom Builders has three focus areas: Local, Global, and The Future. Each of these supports different ministries and projects across the world.
Our Beliefs...
1. WE BELIEVE…The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
2. WE BELIEVE…There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
3. WE BELIEVE…In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.
4. WE BELIEVE…though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
5. WE BELIEVE…Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through ‘Salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
6. WE BELIEVE…and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
7. WE BELIEVE…the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
8. WE BELIEVE… The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
9. WE BELIEVE…Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
10. WE BELIEVE…The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
11. WE BELIEVE…A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.
12. WE BELIEVE…Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
13. WE BELIEVE…in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
14. WE BELIEVE…in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.
15. WE BELIEVE…A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
16. WE BELIEVE…and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. ‘And so shall we forever be with the Lord!’
