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 Values...
We strive to fulfill our mission of loving God and loving people
according to the following Biblical values.
EXCELLENCE
We strive to honor the Lord in everything we do with excellence. While we recognize that perfection isn’t attainable, we understand that the quality of our work and efforts are a form of worship and should represent the Lord well. Colossians 3:23 (The Message) - “Don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God.”
LOVE
Love is the be all and end all. Our prayer is that we love well in all we do. 1 Corinthians 13:3 (The Message) - “No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.”
UNITY
Unity isn’t about agreeing on everything. Unity is about coming together for the purpose of something bigger. It’s recognizing that we are stronger and better together. Unity takes effort and brings God glory. Psalm 133:1 (NIV) - “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”
WORSHIP
Love must be expressed and worship is exactly that. Our worship is noticeable. You can’t miss it. It happens each Sunday as we gather...but more importantly...it happens on a daily and moment by moment basis during our week. Our worship touches & captivates Jesus while also transforming our own hearts and lives. Psalm 100:1 (NIV) - “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.”
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!’
