Our Vision

The Pastor’s vision is to open the doors to a larger sanctuary where Citadel of Life Cathedral will raise up a Body of Believers who demonstrates the power of the “Kingdom of God” through the quality of their life – spiritually, personally, professionally, socially and economically, by equipping each member through teaching, godly and practical principles and exposure to diverse environments and cultures.

Our Faith Proclaimed
Our Faith Proclaimed
The Church accepts the Scriptures as the revealed Will of God, the all sufficient rule of faith and practice, and for the purpose of maintaining general unity, adopts these fundamental Tenets of Faith.
The Scriptures Inspired
The Bible is the inspired word of God, a revelation from God to man, the living, infallible, and everlasting rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason. II Timothy 3:15-17; I Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12 4:12.
The One True Godhead
The triune Godhead is comprised of 3 separate and distinct personalities, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, who are eternally self-existent, self-revealed and function as one entity. Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh, is the second member of the Godhead, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and The Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-5, 10-14; Matthew 28:18-20.
Man, His Fall And Redemption
Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let Us make man in our image, after Our likeness”. But, man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God. (Genesis1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).
Baptism In Water
The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by all who have truly repented and in their hearts have truly believed on Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in the newness of life. (Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Acts 10:47-48).
The Lord's Supper
“And when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup .” (I Corinthians 11:24-25,28).
The Promise Of the Father
All believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-5; Acts 2:38) with it comes the endowment of power for life and service, the bestowment of gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. (Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 12:1-31). This wonderful experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth. (Acts 2:38; 10:44-46; 11:14-16).
The Evidence Of The Baptism In The Holy Spirit
The full consummation of the Baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is evidenced by initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and by the subsequent manifestation of spiritual power in public testimony and service. (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:2,6; 1:8; Galatians 5:16-26).
The Church
The church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the general assembly and church of the first born, whose names are written in Heaven. (Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23).
Total Prosperity
(a) Spiritual. III John 2; II Corinthians 5:17-21
(b) Mental. II Timothy 1:7; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3
(c) Physical. Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:17; I Peter 2:24
(d) Financial. Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; II Corinthians 9:6-15; Deuteronomy 28:1-14
(e) Social. Proverbs 3:4; Luke 2:52; Ester 2:15.
Blessed Hope
Jesus is coming again to gather all His Saints to ever be with Him ( I Corinthians 15:51-52; I Thessalonians 4:16-17).
The Lake of Fire
Those who have not accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ will suffer eternal separation from the Godhead. The devil and his angles, the beast and the false prophet, and anyone whose name is not found written in the book of life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. This is the second death, the lake of fire. (Revelation 19:20; 20:10-15).
The Millennial Reign Of Jesus
The Scriptures promise the return of our Lord Jesus Christ with His Saints from Heaven to rule and reign for one thousand years on earth ( II Thessalonians 1:7; Revelation 19:11-16; 20:1-6) After this, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth. (Rev. 21).
“Faith is the foundation and just one of many avenues which sanctions us into the glory and presence of God. Faith allows you to see the wonders and miracles of God. Faith gives us hope in an otherwise hopeless situation and Faith allows us to walk in the midst of something desolate but remain strengthened. Friends, when you walk in Faith in conjunction with knowing the purpose for which you have been placed upon this earth then you will begin to live a more fulfilled life.. “
