At Open Heavens Church, we are not perfect people—we're real people pursuing a real God.

We believe that the same Jesus who walked the streets of Galilee is still walking among us today.

His Spirit is moving. His Word is alive. His power is real.

Here’s what we believe, and why it matters.

1. We Believe in Salvation, Water Baptism, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

We are born-again, Spirit-filled followers of Jesus Christ. Though we have weaknesses and imperfections, we believe that through repentance, baptism in water, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit, we are made new.

“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’”
— John 3:3 (NKJV)

“Jesus answered, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.’”
— John 3:5 (NKJV)

“Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”
— Acts 2:38 (NKJV)

2. We Believe the Gifts of the Holy Spirit Are Alive and Active Today

We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit—such as prophecy, healing, tongues, discernment, miracles, and more—are not relics of the past, but the present power of God at work in and through His people. These gifts are for today and are meant to be practiced in everyday life.

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom... to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit... to another prophecy... to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.”
— 1 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NKJV)

3. We Believe God Still Speaks

We believe that God is not silent. He speaks through His Word, His Spirit, and even through dreams, visions, and prophetic impressions. He leads, guides, warns, and comforts. His sheep know His voice.

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
— John 10:27 (NKJV)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
— Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV)

4. We Believe in Radical, Passionate Worship That Ushers in God’s Presence

We believe in long, undignified, Spirit-led worship—like King David—where we pour out our hearts before the Lord. We worship not as routine, but as reverence. In this atmosphere, we regularly encounter God's manifest presence, and see healings, deliverances, and miracles take place.

“Then David danced before the Lord with all his might...”
— 2 Samuel 6:14 (NKJV)

“But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel.”
— Psalm 22:3 (NKJV)

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
— John 4:24 (NKJV)

5. We Believe in the Five-Fold Ministry of the Church

We believe that Christ gave the Church five distinct leadership roles—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—to equip the saints and build up the Body of Christ until we all walk in maturity and unity.

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
— Ephesians 4:11–12 (NKJV)

6. We Believe Jesus Is Returning Soon for His Bride

We believe Jesus is coming again—and soon. He is returning not for buildings or organizations, but for a spotless, Spirit-filled, faithful Bride. We believe the Church is not confined to walls but is made up of believers from every nation who are being made ready for His glorious return.

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”
— Revelation 19:7 (NKJV)

“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.”
— 1 Corinthians 12:27 (NKJV)

7. We Believe the Book of Acts Is Not History—It’s Our Blueprint

We are not content with powerless Christianity. We long to see the Book of Acts come alive again—revival fire, miracles, deliverance, bold preaching, angelic encounters, mass salvations, and unshakable unity. We believe the Church is due for a Holy Spirit awakening that restores the supernatural power of God in every generation.

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.”
— Acts 2:42–43 (NKJV)

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me...”
— Acts 1:8 (NKJV)

8. We Believe Jesus Came to Save, Not Condemn

We believe that Jesus did not come to judge the broken, the doubting, or the lost. He came to rescue them. His ministry was not driven by condemnation but by love. Therefore, we choose love over fear, compassion over criticism. At Open Heavens Church, we don’t judge people—we simply love them.

We are a Zero Judgment Zone. We welcome all people, regardless of their past, pain, or personal journey. Our arms are open because His arms are open.

“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
— John 3:17 (NKJV)

“The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.’”
— Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV)

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus...”
— Romans 8:1 (NKJV)

Final Thought

We are a people hungry for more of God.

More presence.

More power.

More purity.

More of heaven on earth.

We are Open Heavens Church.

And we are making room for the King of Glory to come in.

“Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.”
— Psalm 24:7 (NKJV)
