FOUNDATIONAL COMMITMENTS
DISTICTIVES
Passion for Jesus
Enjoying intimacy with God is the foundation of all character
formation and ministry.
24/7 Intercessory Worship
As a community at IHOP–KC, we are both cultivating intimacy with
God through adoring worship and contending for the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit to revive the Church into God's highest expression of
life in His Son, while laboring in prayer to usher in the great harvest.
Centrality of the Word of God
The Scriptures are taught from a scholarly perspective with an
emphasis on practical application to ministry and personal holiness.
The Forerunner Ministry
We are committed to preparing the Church for the return of the Lord
Jesus.
Family of Believers
We are a like-minded, vibrant fellowship nurturing one another in the
truths of the gospel.
Ministry in the Power of the Spirit
Our faculty is committed to the ministry of the Holy Spirit through all
the gifts of the Spirit.
Evangelism and Missions
Effective ministry training empowers us to evangelize the lost and
fulfill the Great Commission.
The Challenge
We exists to equip this generation in the knowledge of God and the
power of the Spirit for the bold proclamation of the Lord Jesus and
His return. Students embrace rigorous theological training and
Sermon on the Mount lifestyles in the context of 24/7 prayer. As a
result, theological education is intrinsically connected to intimacy
with Jesus and hands-on experience. Prior to the return of Jesus, the
earth will experience unprecedented worldwide revival and upheaval
as God shakes everything that can be shaken (Heb. 12:26). Corporate
prayer and a radical commitment to pursue and proclaim the
knowledge of God are our only hope.
PROPHETIC HISTORY
The Light and the Glory by David Manual /Peter Marshall
Gov. John Winthrop
Matt 5:14 “You are the light of the world, a city set on a hill can not be
hidden”
City set on a hill
“For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people
are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have
undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be
made a story and a by-word through the world.”
