THE MANIFEST POWER OF GOD AMONGST US


INTRODUCING
The Iron Range Christian Center (IRCC) is the newest Christian family church in the Cuyuna Iron Range of Minnesota.  After several years of being without local ministries with the Power of the Holy Spirit, several families collaborated to organize a new, local church.  They invited one of their own who had the formal training and several years experience to pastor them through the process of organization and to continue pastoring and teaching as the Lord wills.  The message is one of the goodness, the grace, the peace, and the unconditional love of God.  IRCC is nondenominational and Bible-based; charismatic with an independent Pentecostal heritage back to the 1910s–we have learned from their mistakes.  Our praise and worship is contemporary without abandoning our rich Christian heritage.  Our Bible teaching is dynamic and relevant to life today.  Our ministry is Spirit-filled, Spirit directed, and Spirit gifted–everyone is involved.

Going to church should be an engaging and memorable experience–something we value and enjoy–something that equips us to do the work of the ministry.  Two thousand years of history has taught us that what Jesus said was true: the religious traditions of man make the Word of God of no effect in our lives. Watching the church professionals perform does not equip the body to do the work of the ministry.  We are determined to be different – in order to make a difference!

Here are a few things we expect at IRCC: God to move in His Spirit; miracles to happen; Jesus to pour His baptism of fire on all who are willing; Spirit-directed praise and worship; teaching that is consistent with and traceable to the early church; time honored sacraments and traditions–and miracle after miracle after miracle as the Great Healer works amongst us.  We preach the Good News of Jesus Christ and all of us have the responsibility and the gifts to do the work of the ministry. We are going to help people feel and experience the love and acceptance of their heavenly Father.  We’re going to help people know God in a real and personal way.  We’re going to help people discover who they are in Christ and what they have in Him.  We’re going to help people become believers and mature in Christ.  We are going to watch God heal and restore;  body, soul, and spirit.  We will see the supernatural become the normal.  We’re a new church for this millennium–with Pentecostal heritage that goes back one hundred years–the Good News that goes back two thousand years–and the God of Creation who goes back before the beginning.  We are the Iron Range Christian Center.


OUR VISION
Everyone will live with the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives
all the time.



OUR MISSION
Because all authority has been given to Jesus, we can go and make disciples.



OUR VALUES
We will tarry until power comes from God.

We will encourage each other daily.

We will read scripture publicly.

We will intercede for others.

We do not come as spectators of a religious performance, but as encouragers of each other.

We respect , honor, and learn from our heritage.

We use apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers as servants to equip the entire body to do the work of ministry, not icons of adoration, fame, or featured performers.



But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today,
so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
Hebrews 3:13 NIV
