We believe that the Bible is the inspired, sovereign, and unfailing Word of the living God to all mankind, and that it is the standard and rule for all of our faith and moral conduct.
We believe that there is only one God, who is eternal without beginning and without end, and that He is three in one - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe in Jesus Christ as God, that He was born of a virgin, that He lived a life without sin, and that He performed numerous acts of kindness, healings and miracles. We believe in His death on the cross at Calvary where He died for the sin of all mankind, His resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of God and that His shed blood cleanses those who believe from all sin.
We believe that repentance is the only way to deliverance from sin, and that everyone must be born again by the power of the Holy Spirit in order to receive God's free gift of eternal life.
We believe that Jesus' work of deliverance at the cross also provides physical healing for today, which can be received by prayers of faith.
We believe in the baptism of and the power of the Holy Spirit, who enables believers to live a victorious, overcoming life of love for God and others as well as a life of holiness and purity. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to all today who ask in faith to receive them, and that in receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit there is given power to boldly witness about Christ.
We believe in the resurrection of the saved to eternal life, and that the lost will go to eternal judgement.
We believe in the literal return of Jesus Christ to the earth, where He will rule and reign forever as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
We believe in carrying out the Great Commission of our God and savior Jesus Christ, to evangelize the lost and lift the burden from the poor, the needy, the broken, the desparate and the helpless.
StreetCry is a fellowship with a multi-faceted calling and vision.
Prayer: Jesus said in Mark 11:17, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." Teaching and preaching are important, but we put a major emphasis on prayer. Besides joining together at 12:00 noon on Sundays, we also meet together for prayer and intercession at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays and at 9:00 am throughout the week.
Holiness: The Bible says in Hebrews 12:14: "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord". We believe that God's grace is available for God's people to lead a holy life. This is a Christ centered life, in which one hates and fights against sin, and endeavors to be in continuous fellowship with Jesus Christ.
Evangelism: Jesus said in Mark 16:15, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." And Paul said in 2 Timothy 4:2, "Preach the word, be instant in season and out of season..." We believe it is the calling, privilege, and duty of every born again Christian to regularly evangelize the lost.
Teaching and Discipling: Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, "Go therefore, make disciples of all nations...." Paul said in 2 Timothy 2:2, "The things you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit to faithful men who shall be able to teach others." Through Bible School training, home group meetings, and on the job and on the street participation, we prepare the body of Christ for discipleship and works of service in His kingdom.
Fellowship: Hebrews 10:25 says, "Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together, as some have done." David said in Psalms 133:1, "How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." We believe that continual fellowship among God's people is vitally important.
Worship: Jesus said in John 4:23, "The time is coming and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth. For the Father seeks such to worship Him." We place a strong emphasis on worshipping God, humbling ourselves at His feet, and waiting for His manifest presence!
Prophetic: We believe, as it says in Acts 2:17, "It shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams." Prophecy, dreams, visions, miracles, healing, deliverance, words of knowledge, and angelic visitations flowed freely out of the dedicated, believing early church in Jerusalem. We believe God is restoring this in fullness today, and that He has saved His best wine for last. (We have prophetic ministers who have gifts and training in the prophetic, if you need ministry time with them.)
Commitment: Jesus said to the multitudes in Mark 8:34-37, ". . "if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the Gospel will save it. For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whoever saves his (own) life shall lose it, but whosoever loses his life for my sake and the Gospel, the same shall save it." We believe that Jesus' death on the cross was a sufficient gift for God's people to respond with complete commitment to Him.
The Final Harvest: We believe that we are on the verge of a tremendous worldwide harvest, including an enormous harvest among lost, disenchanted youth, both in Russia and worldwide. We believe God is raising up a holy host of former drug addicts, prostitutes, alcoholics, criminals, sub-culture kids, the homeless and helpless, as part of this powerful end-time harvest, bringing all glory to God, and none to man, organizations, or denominations. It will not be a religious movement or look like normal church, but it will be powerful with the spirit and love of God.
Music and The Arts: We believe that God created music and the arts as a powerful medium through which we can worship and express our love for God and that through this medium, we can laugh, weep, shout, jump for joy, or prostrate ourselves before a holy and living God. Satan has stolen much from the realm of music and the arts-but God is presently active in taking it back!
