A LITTLE ABOUT US

Ministries. Staff. Beliefs. History.

ONE family. ONE faith. ONE focus.

At WMFA, we are one faith: believing in Jesus Christ and His redemptive work on the Cross.
We are ONE family because of that faith. Whether you are a new Christian, a mature Christian, or just someone seeking answers, we want you to come and feel welcomed into our family. We have ONE focus in being obedient to the command Jesus gave to reach everyone with the message of Christ, and then teach them what it looks like to live as a Christian in this world. We are ONE in Faith, Family, and Focus.

We want you to be a part of that!

What we believe

This "Statement of Fundamental Truths" contains the 16 doctrines of the Assemblies of God. These are non-negotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. Four of these, Salvation, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing, and the Second Coming of Christ are considered Cardinal Doctrines which are essential to the church's core mission of reaching the world for Christ.
