What We Believe
The ministry of Soul Harvest Creative Praise Ministries is a Bible believing church that demonstrates the power of God on the Holy Scriptures. We are also a non-denominational church.
We Believe:
The Holy Bible is the expressed Word of God
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for re proof, for correction for instruction in righteousness.”
You must be Born Again.
Scripture: John 3: 3,5-6
”Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’ Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
You must accept Jesus as your Personal Savior
Scripture: Romans 10:9-10, 13
”That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in things heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be served.”
In Water Baptism
Scripture: Matthew 28:19 & Acts 2:38-41
(respectively) “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
In The Trinity
Scripture: 1 John 5:7
”For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these these three are one.”
In Witnessing (Soul Winning)
Scripture: Matthew 24:14
Acts 1:8 & Proverbs 11:30
”And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”
In Tithes & Offering
Scripture: Leviticus 27:30 &
Malachi 3:8-11
“And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’S: it is holy unto the LORD. Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devoured for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.”
In Prayer
Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 &
James 5:16
”After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen. Confess your faults to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
In Fasting
Scripture: Matthew 6:16-18 &
Isaiah 58:5-6
”Moreover when ye feast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which Seth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord? Is not this fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?”

In the Nine Gifts of the Spirit
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10
”For to one is given by the Spirit the word is wisdom; to another the word is knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another interpretation of tongues.”
In the Fruit of the Spirit
Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23
”But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law”
In Women and Men in Leadership
Scripture: Galatians 3:28
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ.”
In the Laying on of Hands
Scripture: Luke 13:11-13 &
1 Timothy 1:14
”And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on the hands of the presbytery.”
In Praising God
Scripture: Psalms 119:164 &
