Our Mission Statement

Having been directed by the Holy Spirit to receive Yasha  as our personal Savior and the redeemer of all mankind, we, the members of General Assembly of the Firstborn, purpose to embrace his teaching and yield ourselves to the control of his Spirit.  Upon the confession of our faith in his principles and his revealed word, we were baptized in water and in his Spirit, after which we glorified Yahweh in a heavenly language as the Spirit gave utterance.

We endeavor therefore, through the power and leadership of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in the unity of the faith and love in the true spirit of holiness.  We commit ourselves to the cause of Christ and dedicate our lives to the advancement of the Kingdom of Yahweh, focusing our hope on its principles and dedicating our resources to further its full establishment on the earth.

We practice and encourage the practice of both private and public prayer.  We worship Yahweh the Father and Yasha his son and submit ourselves to be bound by the law of love and the spirit of goodwill toward all mankind.

We honor and uphold the civil laws that govern and protect our country, state, church, and homes as long as said laws are compatible with the teachings of Yasha the Messiah, which is the law of love.

We do not practice nor do we condone the practice of adultery, fornication, homosexuality, or any form of immoral conduct, which is judged wrong by Biblical standards.

We honor marriage and strive for family unity, seeking to correct, support, and educate our children. We strive to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of our Lord, seeking their salvation and the salvation of others, both at home and abroad.

We anoint with oil and offer prayer for healing of the sick and afflicted, yielding ourselves to be used in the operation of spiritual gifts and ministries in the supernatural realm.

We recognize Yasha as head of his Body (the Church) and depend upon body ministry for correction, direction, and edification while we are in the process of development and growth that will bring us into maturity in Christ, which is full sonship.

We strive to refrain from gossiping, meddling in the affairs of others,  tattling, tale bearing, back-biting, and participating in the traffic of slanderous and hurtful rumors, while discouraging and rebuking others that would endeavor to cause division or to involve us in such mischievous and destructive practices.  We forgive the weaknesses in others and strive to reach perfection and to walk in the more excellent way.

We accept Christ alone as head of the assembly, which is his body, and stress the equality of all believers, regardless of race, gender, or social standing. We encourage spiritual participation of all members of the body, subjecting ourselves to the disciplining work of the administration of spiritual ministry gifts, which are of apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and shepherds (pastors).

Our name was divinely chosen from Hebrews 12:23, “But you are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the ‘general assembly and church of the firstborn,’ which are written in heaven, and to Yahweh the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Yasha the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel,” Hebrews 12:22-24.
