What We Believe

Kingdom Center Ministries

Kingdom Center Ministries is under the direction and leadership of Pastor R. L. West, Sr. and Lady Jeanette West in Memphis, TN.

Presently, Kingdom Center Ministries is continuing to grow and abound in the Word and the Work of the Lord.  Pastor West continues the plight along with his faithful companion Lady Jeanette.  The church has other faithful ministry auxiliaries, teachers, and all our wonderful members who help to make our church a true family of God.  Let us always remember the rich spiritual legacy which has been given to us.  Throughout our existence, very strong emphasis has been placed on establishing and maintaining a strong, biblically sound foundation, having a personal relationship with Jesus, holy living, and being led by the Holy Spirit.  These are to be accomplished though praying, reading, studying, memorizing, meditating upon, and applying the Word of God to our lives daily.

Furthermore, the following guidelines which were presented by Pastor West should be closely adhered.

Christians must realize that God ordained the local church to edify Christians and evangelize the world.

Therefore, the following should be goals of the church: a growing church with harmony among members.

Goals of the Church

  • An educational program which builds godly character

  • A consistent outreach of effective evangelism

  • A spirit of giving which produces ample funds

  • Staff members who are efficient and loyal

  • Assist families in developing

  • Partners with happy marriages

  • Fathers who are spiritual leaders

  • Sons and daughters who accept authority

  • Men and women who conquer moral impurities

Finally, in considering Kingdom Center Ministries’ history, let us realize that the last word has not yet been written. Because our God is no respecter of persons, we believe the best is yet to be!

Our Church Covenant

Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, and on the profession of our faith having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.

We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church, in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.

We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale of, and use of, intoxicating drinks as a beverage or addictive drugs; to be zealous in our efforts to advance the kingdom of our Savior.

We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the rules of our Savior to secure it without delay.

We moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s Word.
