About
CITY OF FAITH VISION
"City of Faith Church" is a 5-fold ministry that exists to impact and restore the lives of people by grace through faith spiritually, emotionally, financially, and educationally by teaching the Word of God, exuberant Worship in spirit and in truth, by Walking according to supernatural faith in God through His Son Jesus, by experiencing breakthrough in Warfare through intercessory prayer and by Widening God's reach in the earth through evangelism and Kingdom expansion.
We will focus on accomplishing this in 3 arenas:
1. within our COMMUNITY by establishing programs and ministries that are centered in incarnation, reconciliation, restoration, revitalization and application
2. within the CHURCH by developing a "kingdom mentality" in the hearts of believers centered in executing governmental operation, engaging in intercessory prayer, experiences with the Holy Spirit through exuberant praise & worship, revelation of the Word of God, and exemplifying Christ-like love that will result in a supernatural atmosphere
3. within the COSMOS by training spiritual leaders, planting kingdom-minded churches under an "apostolic mantle," and spreading the revelation of the gospel of the kingdom and salvation through Jesus Christ to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Lady Lisa believes that with the power of God's spirit operating in various aspects of your life, you can change a mindset, a life, a home, a city, a region and a nation. It all begins with one person!
