Birthed by Bishop Anthony K. Jeffery, Greater Horizon Christian Fellowship International, Inc was established to be a multicultural and interdenominational fellowship. This fellowship’s goal is to cultivate twenty~ first century pastors, leaders, and laity for “Labor in the Vineyard”, and the Lord’s return. It is the mandate of this fellowship to remember, celebrate and honor our patriarchs of old. This fellowship embraces their teachings, as we extend our efforts in carrying out the “Great Commission” of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the Apostolic Doctrine of the founding Apostles.
The purpose of this fellowship is to offer spiritual covering and accountability, and practical support through relationship & connection for independent churches and ministries, “Those Who No Longer Matter.” The goal is to Empower each church or ministry in the building up of the kingdom; empowering each to effectively impact their surrounding communities through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the use of humanitarian services and resources.
Holistic ministry seeks to proclaim and embody the gospel in every aspect of life. That means that holistic ministry engages the whole person (spiritually, physically, and relationally) with the whole gospel. Worship, discipleship, and fellowship intersect with good life choices, meaningful vocation, a healthy family, and good character. By bringing together word and deed, holistic ministry invites people to experience God’s transforming love more fully.

WE BELIEVE
- We believe the bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God and that it is of supreme and final authority rule of faith and conduct.
- We believe in one sovereign God, eternally existing in three persons: the everlasting Father, His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, and the Holy Spirit, the giver of life.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood and His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance, faith in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. We believe in water baptism by being submerged full in water, and that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is essential for personal salvation. We believe that, for one to be saved, sinners must be regenerated, or born again.
- We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing in prayer.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit who was active in the Old Testament and given to the Church in fullness at the Day of Pentecost. He empowers the Saints for service and witness, cleanses man from the old nature, and conforms us to the image of God.
- We believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, according to Acts 2:4. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues, subsequent to conversion, release the fullness of the Spirit and is evidenced by the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
