3. History
Christian Faith Center was started by John and Eva Ponder in In 2002, CFC purchased the property that we currently have. In January 2005, Pastor John and Pastor Randy met for the first time and in February, Pastor John asked Pastor Randy if he would consider merging churches and taking over CFC. In June 2005, Faith Alive Church of Tucson and CFC merged.
While on a youth event in Tulsa Oklahoma at Rhema Bible Church, Pastor Randy, during a church service, heard the voice of God say, “Step out of the shadow

4. of Moses into a Joshua generation and rename the church Living Faith Christian Center, Tucson International.” Pastor Randy called Pastor Lori and she heard the voice of God at the same time say, “It’s time to rename the church.”
August 12, 2010, Christian Faith Center became Living Faith Christian Center, Tucson International.

5. Who are we?
Living Faith Christian Center is a Spirit- filled, Multi-cultural, Multi-generational Church. We are a body of believers who believe the Word of God and have Faith that God’s Word will produce what it says it will. We are, therefore, a CHRISTIAN CHURCH, and we teach the Word of Faith that is in God’s Word.
Acts 11:26 (NKJV)
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

6. Romans 10:8 (NKJV)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):
This is the only place in the Bible that talks about an assembly being identified as “Christian,” and the word that is being preached as the “Word of Faith.”
We are a body of believers who are Christian and preach the Word of Faith that Paul and the other disciples preached. Word = Genesis thru Revelation (John 1:14)

New/New Members

22. What we believe
- THE BIBLE IS THE MIND OF CHRIST AND IS THE INSPIRED, THE ONLY INFALLIBLE AND AUTHORITATIVE WORD OF GOD. THERE IS ONE GOD MANIFESTED IN THREE PERSONS: FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. THE REALITY OF SATAN AND HIS PRESENT CONTROL OVER UNREGENERATE MAN DOES EXIST. CHRISTIANITY IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:
THE DEITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND HIS VIRGIN BIRTH.
HIS SINLESS LIFE.
HIS MIRACLES.

23. HIS VICARIOUS AND ATONING DEATH THROUGH HIS SHED BLOOD.
HIS VICARIOUS AND ATONING DEATH THROUGH HIS SHED BLOOD.
HIS BODILY RESURRECTION.
HIS ASCENSION TO THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.
HIS PERSONAL RETURN IN POWER AND GLORY AS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
THE FALL OF MAN AND HIS LOST ESTATE, WHICH MAKE NECESSARY A REBIRTH THROUGH CONFESSION AND BELIEF IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THE RECONCILIATION OF MAN TO GOD BY THE SUBSTITUTIONARY DEATH AND SHED BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
THE RESURRECTION OF BELIEVERS UNTO EVERLASTING LIFE AND BLESSING IN HEAVEN, AND THE RESURRECTION OF UNBELIEVERS UNTO EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT IN THE TORMENTS OF HELL.

24. THE PRESENT SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO BESTOWS THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS OF: THE WORD OF WISDOM, THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, FAITH, GIFTS OF HEALINGS, WORKING OF MIRACLES, PROPHECY, DISCERNING OF SPIRITS, VARIOUS KINDS OF TONGUES, INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES, IN AND AMONG BELIEVERS ON THE EARTH SINCE THE DAY OF PENTECOST AND CONTINUING UNTIL OUR LORD'S RETURN.
