About BMi
Bethesda Ministries International is an enthusiastic, relational group of Pentecostal churches and ministries. Although each church is autonomous (self governing) they are committed to relating with one another in a close relationship. The fulfilment of each church’s God-given vision is enhanced through the strength of relationship between ministers and their churches.
BMi churches and ministries believe in the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit working in and amongst our people. We believe that God works amongst His people through the Holy Spirit sanctifying and equipping them for service in the kingdom of God. We are committed to the biblical principle of unity as a fundamental outworking of our faith in Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
The BMi vision is expressed through our churches and ministries unique and individual vision and calling.
Our vision is two-fold:
To see strong and healthy churches and ministers established and nurtured where the priesthood of all believers is exercised and believers are trained, equipped and released to grow to their full potential and maturity in God and
To facilitate the command of Jesus to disciple the nations of the world, by providing and encouraging leadership, church planting and training in various forms.
What We Believe
While BMi’s churches are autonomous, we are united on fundamentals of the faith:
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is love and completely holy.
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.
