Beliefs:                                                                                                                                                                                                       

We enter covenant with God based on our beliefs.

                We believe “The Bible, the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings and are the complete Revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.”

                We believe in God – There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

                We believe in JESUS CHRIST – Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.

                We believe in THE CHURCH – The true Church is composed of all such persons, who through saving faith in Jesus Christ, has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head.

                We believe in SALVATION – The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God. The Return of Jesus Christ – The personal, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ is our hope and has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.

                We believe in BAPTISM AND COMMUNION – Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.

                We believe in THE HOLY SPIRIT – The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. Man – Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

                We believe in FUTURE EVENTS – There will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgement and everlasting conscious punishment.

 

 

Church History

Servants of God Church began on April 1, 2012, with the vision given by God to Pastor Darron Banks, founding Pastor. Pastor Banks shared God’s vision with his wife, Vivian Banks, who was and is supportive of the God-given vision.

In February 2012, Pastor Banks and his wife stepped out on faith to fulfill God’s plan. Pastor Banks rented a building from Ed McDonald located at 410 12 Clinton Blvd, in Clinton, MS. The office space had the capacity to hold up to 40 people upstairs. We called it the “Small Upper Room”. Pastor and his wife took their tithes and offering and dedicated it to God to start the Ministry.

 Pastor Banks and his wife worked on the church after work each evening and on Saturday to paint up and down stairs. They purchased a church pulpit announcement stand and 4 used church pews. The pews were too long to fit upstairs, so Pastor and 1st Lady Banks cut each pew in half to get them upstairs and nailed them back together. He and Sis. Banks purchased foam and covering to make the pews comfortable for guests.

Before the scheduled opening of the church, on April 1, 2012, Pastor Banks and Sis. Banks purchased the sound system, microphone, keyboard, speakers and stand. By April 2013, this new little church had grown to 42 members. Pastor Banks and his church family decided to take a step of faith and relocated to the current location at 1801 Central Street, Jackson, MS 39209. The building was previously the home of Greater Antioch M.B. Church. After relocating, Pastor implemented more ministries in the church.

 The Servants of God membership has grown to over approximately 200 members and 31 ministries that are carrying out the mission of the church. The mission of the church is to make disciples for Jesus Christ and to present Christ to anyone who will hear us and help lead them toward God.
