DIWC IS A MINISTRY OF LOVE~LIFE~LIBERTY

LOVE: This word speaks to our doctrinal foundation based on the belief that God so loved us that yet while sinners he sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ for our redemption, and eternal salvation received by faith. We believe as we receive and yield to the love of God we then possess the capacity to love our fellow brothers and sisters of all race, creed, and culture.

LIFE: We believe God has created us to live a more abundant life being whole spiritually, emotionally, financially, socially and physically. Through teaching and application we will strive to exceed in all these areas.

LIBERTY: We believe the sacrifice Jesus Christ made at Calvary has given freedom to worship without condemnation through his blood and not by our works.

G - GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT: We believe the function and operation of spiritual gifts has been given for the edification of the body and witness of Christ manifested in the earth.

1 CORINTHIANS 12: 7-11 (NASB)

7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.


As Lead Pastor I pray the vision and motto of Dayspring International Worship Center is embedded deep within our hearts as we advance the kingdom of heaven here on earth.
