OUR CHURCH
Disciples of Faith Ministries is a church based organization; an NPO based on the first Church born at the Pentecost. We are dedicated to spreading the Word of God; the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Acts 2:36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” 37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” 40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Our concept of this passage is that the word of the Lord is to be preached with boldness and with power! It shows that when we allow the Spirit of God to speak through us, it will cut to the heart of unbelievers, causing them to wonder and move along with the movement in their heart coming from the power of the Word being preached.
Our ultimate purpose is to be used as vessels to help raise the awareness of the fact that Gods promises are to ALL MEN who shall receive His message; to give glory to the Father in Heaven for such Love and toil on earth to show that there is a difference between Love and what is corrupt! We believe that with devotion and dedication to said Word, that unity can and will be achieved by those who answer the call of the Lord, and with it power and harmony shall be seen again among those who once and even now do not believe so that they shall.
OUR BACKGROUND
Disciples of Faith Ministries was founded in 2008 by Rev. Clyde A. Cooper in Union City, PA. He and his wife, Barbara A. Cooper, Secretary of Disciples of Faith, evangelized as ministers of the Gospel through the Word of God and song throughout the NE, Ohio and NW, Pennsylvania district in various churches abroad.
The need and helplessness of individuals and families due to the crisis’ of life had always been an instigating factor to the compassion in their hearts as they traveled and led home-based bible studies in between calls. This compassion grew as the poverty rate climbed, terrorism spread, and the employment rate sank despite the rise of daily living expenses.This led to the knowledge that the fulfillment of time had come to take the hand of organizations alike and initiate action, henceforth leading Clyde to the founding of Disciples of Faith Ministries.
