Our Church

Mount Rose .... is a cross-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-racial expression of the Body of Christ, endeavoring to the best of our ability and understanding, to model God’s intent for His people in every area of life and culture. The people of Mount Rose are all about "creating a world and making a world of difference" for every tribe, race, kindred and tongue. Our passionate pursuit of the Presence of God and our hunger for both individual and corporate direct experience with God is rooted in the reality of God’s Fatherhood and incredible love, as revealed in the life of His Son, Jesus Christ

 As a result, we are passionate about living the life of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom for us is not about what we eat or drink, it is all about our life being whole and in right standing with God and each other, having our lives well-put together by the goodness of God, living in peace of mind and heart, with unfolding joy. We endeavor to live a life that pleases the heart of the Father, and affirms the dignity and value of each other. Having experienced the incredible and irresistible grace of God and His unconditional acceptance, we accept one another also, so that with one mind and one heart we can together passionately pursue His presence and His purpose for our lives.

We value encouragement and not fault-finding, in obedience to the mandate of the Scriptures and the life of Christ. We value accountability, honesty and purity. We value the forgiveness of Christ and find refuge in His mercy. We are very aware of our ongoing need of His grace. We make no apologies for our dependence on the love of God the Father, for He is known by direct experience in our lives as the Caring Parent He promised to be. We are in love with His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, because He modeled His love for us in His ultimate sacrifice and His ongoing love for us by His Spirit in our lives on a daily basis. We are not without challenge or crisis, yet neither are we without hope and encouragement. We value the inspiration and the authority of the Scriptures, the Finished Work of Christ and the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

We understand that Christ is the cornerstone of what God is building in us as a community of believers and we also know that apostolic foundations and prophetic directives make us solid, stable, mature and relevant in the 21st century. We are not about the dead traditions of living people, having a form of godliness while denying the power of God.

We are committed to Love, Life and Liberate.

What We Believe

At the Mount Rose Church we are "Orthodox" in our theology drawing from the foundations provided by Polycarp, Tertullian, Cyprian, Augustine and other apostolic and early church fathers.  We embrace without reservation the great creeds of the historic Christian Church to include the Apostolic Creed of 390 AD, the Nicene Creed of 325 AD, the Athanasian Creed of the early 5th century and the Chalcedon Creed of 451 AD.

We are "Reformed" in our doctrine accepting the great theological reforms of the 16th century and 17th centuries through Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and the puritan writers.

We are "Catholic" in our immovable conviction that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the world is the one Holy and Apostolic Church being "the one body with one Spirit, one Lord and one faith." Consequently, all christian leaders and churches have a common purpose to work cooperatively to reach the world of Christ.

We are "Evangelical" in our doctrinal adherence to the authority of Scripture, the deity of Christ, and salvation through faith in the atoning work of Christ.

We are "Charismatic" in our worship and ministry, partaking of the power of the Holy Spirit and exercising the biblical gifts which were given to the church.  Through the empowering work of the Holy Spirit, we zealously reach out to our community and the world by demonstrating the compassion of Christ and offering His gospel of salvation, hope and restoration.

We are "Christological" in our belief that the Lord Jesus Christ is central in our worship and Christian practices.  We proclaim Jesus to be Lord of our lives, the Head of His church and King of His kingdom.  We proclaim Jesus to be the Lord of all things

We are "Incarnational" in our theology, not that we are Christ, but that Christ is in us and we are in the world reaching the lost, continuing His word and demonstrating His kingdom on earth.

We are "Convenantal" on pur theology believing that full partnership with God in accomplishing His purposes on earth is possible only through our response to His Covenant.  God's covenant with His people is dramatized in the Old Testament through human experience and is ratified in the New Testament through the atoning work of Christ.

We are "Restorational" in our practical theology knowing that the central work of God as recorded in both the Old and New Testament is restoring man, the earth, and the universe from the corruption of evil back to God's original plan and purpose.

We are "Prophetic" and "Apostolic" in our beliefs that God is presently moving in the church bringing the restoration of the five fold ministry gifts.  We believe that the present restoration of the Prophet and the Apostle will bring about a release of the saints of God to manifest His kingdom in the earth.

We are "Present Truth" in our belief that God is progressively restoring truth to the Church today.  This progressive restoration can be traced from the Reformation, when men realized that "the just shall live by faith," to this century when men are learning about the active role of the Holy Spirit in the earth today.

We are "Kingdom" in our theology believing that the central issue and concern of God in Scripture is His righteous rule in heaven and on earth.  Since the Kingdom of God was the major subject preached and taught by Christ during His earthly ministry and after His resurrection, the church, therefore, is the embassy of the Kingdom of God on earth and must proclaim Christ as both Savior and Lord of all.

We are "Dominion" people in our theology believing that the Kingdom of God is manifest on earth as His people embrace the Dominion Mandate and the Great Commission as found in the Scriptures. We believe that biblical kingdom dominion is comprehensive and progressive, including every area of life.
