The central objective of this ministry is to build people of Purpose and Power to operate as Gods Ambassadors to the world, hence the name EMBASSY. This mandate is being fulfilled in everything that the ministry sets forth to do. We have the assignment to teach the un-compromised Word of God so that purpose is revealed.
God gave Pastor Sam and Angela Moyd a vision of building a distinctly different church, where people would be taught and given an example of holiness, character and integrity. This born-again and spirit-filled church is to have an emphasis on building men and women with a God-consciousness so that they function as husbands, wives, and parents in a manner that glorifies God and impacts their generation. To reach the lost and hurting with the message of faith and the loving touch to help men and women overcome the challenges in life, this church is to provide enrichment through out of the ordinary ministry.
The fruit of this ministry must be that the Word will victoriously transform the lives of people and they, as Ambassadors for Christ, should take the same message into the world. Ministers of the Gospel are to be trained to pursue their calling with integrity, excellence and with unquestionable ethics. Further, as ministers are trained and equipped, ZOE Embassy will both send them forth to build independent churches and to plant satellite churches of like precious faith.
The vision for our church is expressed below as:
God Centered, Purpose Driven and People empowering.
Non-religious, naturally supernatural, and fun to be in. It's a church of renowned character and integrity. A church whose number one priority is to glorify God and bring his wonderful life to a lost world.
Equipping, enabling and releasing ordinary people to live extraordinary lives.
A deeply committed, loving, caring family among whom the lonely and the broken find refuge, new hope and belonging.

The Scriptures - The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as the Holy Spirit moved them. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
The Godhead - Our God is one, but manifested in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being co-equal (Phil. 2:6). God the Father is greater than all; the sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1, 1:18,1:14;). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 15:26).
Man, His Fall and Redemption - Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world. "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (Rom. 5:14; Rom.3:10; 3:23, 1 John 3:8). Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Eph. 2:8).
Eternal Life and The New Birth - Man's first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced produces eternal life (2 Cor. 7:10; 1 John 5:12; John 3:3-5).
Water Baptism - Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct command of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36-39). The following recommendation regarding the water baptismal formula is adopted; to wit: "On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen."
Baptism In the Holy Ghost - The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the New Birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt. 3:11; John14:16-17; Acts 2:38-39, 19:1-7 Acts 2:4).
Sanctification - The Bible teaches that without holiness no man shall see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ's return (Heb.12:14; 1Thess. 5:23; 2Peter 3:18; 2Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12-14; 1Cor. 1:30).
Divine Healing - Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the Church today (Mark16:18; James 5:14-25; 1Peter 2:24; Matt. 8:17; Isa. 53:4,5)
Church - The church is an elect company of believers baptized by the Holy Spirit into one body, each believer living his life in the power of the Holy Spirit; its mission being to witness concerning its Head, Jesus Christ, teach and preach the Gospel among all nations until the end of the world (Matt. 16:18; 28:19,20).
