Our Kingdom Purpose is to empower lives through the revelation of God's Word and the power of His Holy Spirit, for the generation that seek Him to affect a generation that won't.
The Empowerment Zone was founded in 1993. We are a Ministry that is founded on the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Our beliefs are rooted in the basic tenets of the Holy Scriptures. We are a non-denominational church, though we realize that all churches have a connection to some denominational foundation. Thus we have Pentecostal-Charismatic Roots as a church. We love the heavenly Father, His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible is our life-line, hallmark and final authority for our lives.

Its recovery of the Spirit's gifts, and the songs it has written, have crossed into nearly every other tradition on this map.
