Life Empowerment Deliverance Ministries

ABOUT THE MINISTRY

Our Motto: “The Best is Still Yet to Come”!

Life Empowerment Deliverance Ministries is a church about SOULS and building on the solid Rock – Jesus. We are a nondenominational church (on the go, grow and know) located in Miami Gardens Florida. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. We believe that “tongues” is a gift and it’s NOT a prerequisite for salvation. We believe in Prophesying/Prophetic Utterances and operating in the Supernatural. We also believe in letting the people of God express themselves in whatever way they may feel comfortable. The HEART of our church is comprised of Love, Prayer, Praise, Worship, Intercession, Deliverance, Giving, Fellowship and Unity. We flow according to the move of the Holy Spirit – He is in charge. If you are used to a program and a dead end church, you will not feel comfortable at Life. We believe in discipleship and advancing the kingdom of God through Salvation, the Word of God, along with Networking/Business Opportunities.
