Who Are We?

We Are Keystone!

We are Keystone: a very small, but growing movement of believers striving to be a 21st century version of the 1st century books of Acts church! We desire to be and do “church” the way Jesus built it! We hold strong to the teachings & principles of Scripture, and we don’t get bogged down with trying to entertain. We offer the full gospel of Jesus, we offer His whole truth, His dynamic love and genuine fellowship with others who know they need Jesus every day. We do not promote religious traditions or man-made creeds.

Our Mission/Vision: “Connect lives to the Life Giver through His word and by the power of His Spirit!”

We are NOT a denomination.

We are Apostolic, which means we seek to practice the principles and the faith handed to the original apostles by Jesus Christ, which was “once delivered to the saints.” In other words, we are careful not to weave in our own preferences/traditions, and elevate them to that of Scriptural authority! 

We identify with the “Day of Pentecost” experience as recorded in Acts 2, which details the birth of the church era. Therefore, the experiences and teachings released on that inaugural day of God’s Church, should be counted as HIGHLY significant & essential to all believers past, present and future. 


WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES IS WHAT “WE BELIEVE”

We believe the bible to be the only inspired and infallible Word of the one true God and that it is able to “make one wise unto salvation…” (2Tim 3:15-17)

We believe in the great commission and are endeavoring to share the full Gospel of Jesus Christ with love, mercy and compassion.

We believe there is literally only ONE God (Deut 6:4, Eph 4:5). He is the Creator & Owner of the heavens and the earth, and of all living beings. This one true God is a Spirit, and has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator, all things are by Him), and as the man Christ Jesus (who is the Son/flesh of God), whom God used to destroy the works of the devil and author salvation to all that obey Him. The man Christ Jesus is the one true God manifested in flesh. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus Christ bodily (Col 2:9). God also leads, guides, & helps humanity today and desires to adopt us & dwell in us by His holy Spirit. The saving and covenant name of God, is Jesus!

These three ways that God has dealt with humanity, are the three primary ways through which He works to redeem fallen humanity. God has manifested and operated in other ways as well, for example: a burning bush, Melchisedec, angelic theophanies. We DO NOT subscribe to the man-made concept of 3 or more distinct persons of God, BUT rather to the biblical teaching that there is one God, who deals and has dealt with humanity in/through various ways, and His name, is Jesus! Hallelujah!

This Jesus came in flesh and died an innocent death and rose from the dead, conquering the law of sin and death for us, that through Him we can have abundant and everlasting life! He still heals, still delivers, still forgives, still saves and He still has all power in heaven and in earth. He is the King of all kings and the Lord over all!

We invite you to connect with us and dive into more that this Great God and Savior has for you!
