Greater Warsaw Ministerial Association (GWMA)

Unity In Jesus

"Many Churches...One Faith"

The GWMA (Greater Warsaw Ministerial Association) exists to; provide a means of fellowship for pastors and ministry professionals; unite Christians (Followers of Christ) through worship, prayer and service to others; share the truths of the Bible and the good news of Jesus Christ.

One Hope. One Community. One Church...The Church is not an institution, a building, or a denomination. 

The Church is the collective community of believers. We are the Church. We are the people of God. 

We share one hope. Live in one community. We are one Church, followers of Jesus Christ!

The Apostles’ Creed is our statement of faith, though not written by the apostles, is the oldest creed of the Christian church and is the basis for others that followed. Its most used form is:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy catholic Church, the Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen.

In its oldest form, the Apostles’ Creed goes back to at least 140 A.D. Many of the early church leaders summed up their beliefs as they had an opportunity to stand for their faith—see, for example, 1 Timothy 6:12. These statements developed into a more standard form to express one’s confession of faith at the time of baptism. It is not Scripture, but it is a simple list of the great doctrines of the faith.

The word “catholic” means “relating to the church universal” and was the word used in the original version of the Creed. It does not mean the Roman Catholic Church, but the church, the body of Christ, as a universal fellowship. The phrase, “He descended into hell,” was not part of the creed in its earliest form.

We are committed to pray for the Body of Christ that we may share the Good News of Jesus Christ in Kosciusko County!

"May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."  Romans 15:5-7

We pray to...

• Be united in Christ (John 17:20-23), as when one asks for understanding and wisdom in the church to minimize clashing of personal opinions and stands.
• Love one another (John 13:34-35), as when one asks God for help in loving the unlovable, being gentle and kind, and showing His love through words and actions.
• Protect ourselves against the enemy's attacks, as when one asks for guidance and discretion in separating truth from fiction to draw closer to Christ (Proverbs 2:11-21).
• Expand the Kingdom of God (Ephesians 4:11-16), as when one asks God for the strength to evangelize and reach more people for Him, using the church's resources to share the gospel.
• Serve one another (1 Peter 4:10-11), as when one asks for spiritual gifts to use, opportunities to serve, and the humility and commitment to perform acts of service.
• Instruct and teach one another (Colossians 3:16), as when one asks for wisdom in teaching His truths, singing to Him with gratitude, and living out our faith.
• Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ (Ephesians 5:21), as when one asks that God help us have a teachable attitude and be eager to learn and grow in our relationship with Him.
• Build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11), as when one asks that God helps us encourage and edify others instead of tearing them down and have the ability to grieve with those who are hurting.
