1 Jacob s Ladder Community Fellowship Church Volume 2, Issue 2 Newsletter/Bulletin FEBRUARY 2017 What Do We Believe? WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired, infallible (unalterable) Word of God written by holy men of old, as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. WE BELIEVE in one God who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purposes, as well as omniscient and omnipresent. We believe that he was revealed to us as Father in creation, as Son in redemption, and as Holy Spirit in His comforting grace that never leaves those who trust Him. PASTOR Bishop Robert T. Douglas, Sr., Ph.D Church Theme "Embracing New Wine, New Wineskins and New Dimensions" John 2:10 Inside this issue: What Do We Believe 1 Annual Renewal Revival 2 Inglewood Area Ministers Association What s Happening between the Rungs?

JLCF Calendar of Events 5 Central California District Council 6 Pentecostal Assemblies of the World 7 Weekly Service &Mission Statement WE BELIEVE that in Jesus dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell. WE BELIEVE in the Virgin Birth; Jesus was both human and divine; He was God manifested in the flesh. WE BELIEVE in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We believe that He ascended on high and has sent His spirit, that Holy Ghost, which was poured out at Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago, and it is this same Spirit that is filling the hearts of those who diligently seek HIM today. WE BELIEVE in baptism in water by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This constitutes the new birth. WE BELIEVE in a holy, sanctified life. We believe in divine healing, communion and foot washing. We believe also in the glorious catching away (the Rapture) of the saints when Jesus We believe in a holy, sanctified life. We believe in divine healing, communion, and foot washing. We believe also in the glorious catching away (the rapture) of the saints when Jesus returns in the clouds in glory to take His people to heaven. WE BELIEVE that Jesus is the only saving name... And whatsoever you do in word or in deed, do all in the name of Jesus.

Choir Rehearsal JLCF Church Mission Statement Sacrifice Obedience Commitment I would like everyone at Jacob s Ladder to know that we are here in the State of California to promote the Kingdom of God and to recruit souls of men and women of all walks of life into this glorious Kingdom. With this truth established, our primary objective is saving the lost souls, the preservation of the saved soul, and the consecration of the new man in Christ. Our tools to reach our objectives are basically as follows: Repentance from a sinful Life; Water baptism in the name of Jesus; The baptism of the Holy Ghost; Educating the lost with the Word; and Referral resources for those that have special needs. With this in mind, I would like for you all to know that I have sought the Lord for approval to expand the operation here at Jacob s Ladder. As your Pastor, it is my desire to acquire a church edifice with a seating capacity suitable for our membership. This will require for us to take this present vision and organize it into a three million dollar project. In closing, I invite any ideas or suggestions to make the vision a reality. Bishop Robert T. Douglas, Sr.
