What is Wholistic Movement?
Wholistic Movement is a Christ-centered wellness practice dedicated to inspire, train, and empower the Body of Christ to grow in stature, strength, and service.
It is a place to discover and experience God’s truth. It is a lifestyle that overcomes challenges, cultivates the love of oneself and others, increases flexibility, and builds unified strength – spirit, mind, soul, and body. Ultimately, it is the unique expression of this mystery: ‘Christ in you, the hope of glory.’

Statement of Faith
We believe…
God Exists
- There is only one God, who exists for all eternity in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, Revelation 1:8) - That God is alive today and continues to show himself real and powerful to those who seek Him.
(Matthew 7:7, John 14:17, John 16:13-14, 1 Corinthians 1:12-14, 2 Corinthians 6:16)
We are Created by and for God
- All things were created by God and for God.
(Romans 11:36, John 1:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 11:12) - “We love because he first loved us.” God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (1 John 4:19, Romans 5:8)
- We are to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. Second to this, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Mark 12:28-32)
There is Peace with God because of Forgiveness of Sin through Jesus
- That Jesus Christ is before all things and all things are kept whole through Him.
(Colossians 1:17, John 8:58, 1 Thessalonians 5:23) - That there is only one way to God, through His Son. Jesus Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life.”
(Isaiah 43:10-13, John 14:6) - That God made forgiveness and redemption available to all who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
(1 Timothy 2:3-4, John 3:16-18, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5) - “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8)
- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
The Holy Spirit Brings New Life and Unifies the Body
- That in Christ, we are new creations inside and out, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
(2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15, Isaiah 43:19, Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 6:4, Romans 8:10-11, Ephesians 4:24, Revelation 21:5) - “We were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body” and “we were all given the one Spirit to drink.” (1Corinthians 12:13-14) We are all one in Jesus Christ. (Galatians 3:28)
- We have “different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:4)
- We are to honor God with our bodies because it is the temple of the Holy Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
God's Grace is Abundant
- It is by grace that we have been saved, through faith—and this is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
- God’s grace affords power. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (2 Cor. 12:9)
Nothing is Impossible for God
- In the hope of God’s glory, and we glory in our sufferings. We know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. (Romans 5:2-4)
- Hope in God does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:1-5)
- The Bible is the absolute truth. It is the divinely authored and authoritative Word of God. It is complete in its current canonical form.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Luke 24:27)
There is Power in Christ
- Jesus is life. “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5)
- I [We] can do all things through Christ who strengthens me [us]. (Phil 4:13)
God is Patient and Good
- God “is patient, not wanting any to perish but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
- That in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
