Citizens Academy

Preparing citizens for the city of the future now.

We adhere to the verbal Inspiration of the Bible. The bible is God's unique revelation to man. It is the inspired, infallible Word of God. It is the supreme and final authority which declares:

Authority

  • In one God eternally self existent and infinitely perfect, the creator, sustainer and ruler of all things.
  • The tri-unity of the Godhead,one God, three persons: namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • The appointment of the Son of God as King of kings and Lord of lords.
  • The fulfillment of prophecy that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.
  • That Jesus Christ met the requirements consistent with the principles of Kingship (power of will, residency and dynasty)
  • That Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father as our King.
  • In the Second Coming of Jesus, to reign on the earth a thousand years.

  • That the Law of God is the consolidated will of the Godhead.
  • That the Law of God is holy and eternal.
  • That the Law of God is personified in the personality and characteristics of the Son of God.
  • That the Law of God is fulfilled through the appointment and establishment of the Son of God as King.
  • That the Law of God is mediated by the Son of God through the new covenant.

  • The Ekklesia is a constituted body of citizens "called out" by Christ for the purpose of legislating his will within a given territory.
  • The emergence of this form of governance is underpinned by the fivefold offices, appointed by Christ and held by citizens accountable to the establishment of the Ekklesia within any given territory.
