The History of Genesis II In the fall of 2002, a clarion call went out and was answered by a young man who was trying to make a difference in the Assemblies of God. In what is traditionally a predominately white fellowship Pastor Reggie felt the need to establish an Assembly of God Church in the Dallas, Texas area where people of all races and backgrounds are not only welcomed but are made to feel comfortable about their differences. Truly that vision has become a reality because Genesis II has members of all races, creeds, backgrounds, and religions attending church. We are a church on the move! Genesis II r was established on February 2, 2003. The first service was held in the Royal Inn at 13700 LBJ Freeway in Garland, Texas. There were 7 people in attendance. After two years in that location the building was torn down and the church moved to another location. They continued having services in the fellowship hall of North Mesquite Assembly of God on May 1, 2005. After a time in that location, Genesis II moved to their current location at 842 S. Galloway in Mesquite, Texas. Since the establishment of Genesis II , the membership has grown from 7 at the first service to close to 100. God has done so many great things in our church that sometimes it is even hard to imagine where we came from to where we are now. But this is not the final chapter in our book! We are believing God that expansion is in our future. God is doing great things and we know there is nothing too hard for him! Pastor Reggie wants to give you a personal invitation to be with us in our services. The Presence of The Lord is there and Pastor Reggie knows that if you have the Presence of the Lord then you have everything else you need! Truly the Presence of the Lord is in this Place!!! Pastor Reggie believes everyone deserves a second chance in life and that's why you will always find a friend at Genesis II, "The Place of New Beginnings!!" Our 16 Fundamental Truths Condensed These are nonnegotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. This list is derived from the official Statement of Fundamental Truths. 1.WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind. 2.WE BELIEVE...There is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity). 3.WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine. 4.WE BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. 5.WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG] 6.WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation. 7.WE BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG] 8.WE BELIEVE... The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles. 9.WE BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike. 10.WE BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ. 11.WE BELIEVE...A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion. 12.WE BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG] 13.WE BELIEVE...in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG] 14.WE BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace. 15.WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire. 16.WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
