"... CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH and GAVE HIMSELF for her, that HE MIGHT SANCTIFY and CLEANSE her with the WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD, that HE might PRESENT her TO HIMSELF a GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT or WRINKLE or ANY SUCH THING, but that she should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH.” Ephesians 5:25-27

A sacred, binding relationship established by God with those who choose Him. A covenant with the Father should build a deep, intimate bond to where we go from feeling like orphans into knowing we are sons and daughters of God. We become the bride of Christ. It intel's the Father's promises of protection and blessings, as well as the requirement to have allegiance to His Word (Bible), the faith, and Him.

First and foremost we are not looking to take the place of the Father's sons and daughters local church, but rather come alongside them in helping build community outside the four walls of the church, while helping equip the body of Christ for the second coming of Jesus Christ.
We intend to gather a community of sons and daughters various ways. One way we aspire to build community is by hosting in person worship and prayer gatherings in Carlnika's home called "Hosting God's Presence" on the last Friday of the month. These gatherings will also be available for streaming live via zoom to all those who are subscribed to our email list who would like to be a part. This gives you the opportunity to be a part of what we are doing live.
"Hosting God's Presence" gatherings will look like whatever the Father would have them to look like each time. There will be no set theme or motion. It's making a choice to truly allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us each gathering. Making room for true breakthrough and deliverance. The set up will be just as we were in the living room reflecting on the goodness of our Father. Inviting Him in to take the lead and meet the needs of His people in whatever way and capacity He chooses. Not rehearsed. "Hosting God's Presence" will simply come from the alone time we have spent with the Father. What has He spoken? No performance. Worshiping Him from the heart and sharing what He places on our hearts to share.
Carlnika will not be the only one sharing in the "Hosting God's Presence" gatherings. There will be others who will gather that will share as well. We believe in the five-fold ministry being in full affect. This is how God's people are equipped.
It is vital we all understand that this may look different each time we gather.
A zoom link will go out every month with an occasional reminder for you to join. However, our in person gatherings in Carlnika's home FOR NOW will be invitation only due to space, and to also protect her space.
Another purpose behind "Hosting God's Presence" aside from building community outside the four walls is to demonstrate exactly what that looks like to those who desire to open their homes and hearts to the Father in a pure way. Our homes should be a safe haven, and it should be a place where the Father resides.
We will also continue to host workshops throughout the year as the Lord leads. In our workshops we will be intentional to love on God's people, and equip them to be the light in a dark perverse world. We look to prepare them to be confident in who they are as a son or daughter of God. Fully walking in their God-given identity and authority in every sphere of society.

Our focus WILL NOT BE NUMBERS, but rather to prepare God's people for the second coming of Jesus Christ. We will be sure to maintain the purity of our gatherings and workshops by keeping Jesus and the growth/transformation of God's people the focal point. Our focus is to host the presence of God rightly, to build healthy community, and to be intentional to love on each person the Father sends our way. We are not here to entertain, but to see the kingdom of God come as it is in heaven as we worship the Father by the way we live our lives, and in our gatherings.
