Our Mission
At Sword of the Spirit, our love for Jesus and our love for one another is manifested so that unbelievers will seek salvation through faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sword of the Spirit Christian Center is a place where we can minister the love of God to the residents of Camden and local communities. We want to let people know that there is hope in Christ in the face of this world's problems.
God is a God of our cities and our goal is to change lives and rebuild our cities through the Word of Faith, Healing and prosperity. The vision simply stated is to teach the Word of Faith in the inner-city with simplicity and understanding so that it may be applied to our lives, situations and problems we may encounter from day to day. When we change our lives, the lives of the people we reach through the power of the Holy Spirit will change, thereby causing change in our inner-cities.
