About Us

ABOUT STEP OFF MINISTRY
In 1998, God gave us a vision to reach Korean gangsters for Christ; prayers were given and plans made. Step Off had its opening service two months later.

From the beginning, God’s plans have been bigger than any of our resources or abilities. He has literally given us a heart to reach gangsters in every city across America. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of souls. The enormity and specificity of the task demand that we throw tradition and caution to the wind and lean totally on God to fulfill this vision. We will use any legitimate means to bring someone to our church so that they can hear the Gospel; this includes motorsports, music, video games, break-dancing and pool.

Already, God has blessed our faithfulness to His vision. We have the opportunity to see gangsters come to Christ on a weekly basis. Young people, who had been incarcerated, used and dealt drugs and terrorized others are being touched by God’s grace through this ministry.

God is using Step Off Ministry and we praise Him for it.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe…

• The Scriptures, both Old and New
• Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
• In one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• That Jesus is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins, according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Advocate.
• That the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
• That man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.
• That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God, confirming their place in eternal heaven.
• That water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation.
• That the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head.
• That only those who are thus members of the true Church shall be eligible for membership in the local church.
• That Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and every local church has the right under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs.
• In the personal and premillennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this “Blessed Hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
• In the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, of the unbeliever to the judgment and everlasting conscious punishment.
