After being a youth pastor in St. Louis for three years, Justin Church Ministries was launched in the summer of 2008. Justin began preaching and leading worship in churches, schools, youth centers, coffeehouses, and businesses. In 2014, JCM became Remnant Ministries and Awaken The Remnant was born.
Awaken The Remnant was established to advance God’s Kingdom, share God’s love, and build God’s church through the prophetic direction of God, prayer, worship, discipleship, and fellowship. Incorporating the five-fold ministry, ATR will stop at nothing to awaken people that love God go even deeper in Christ and present Jesus to those that do not know Him, yet desire Truth.
Remnant Ministries does not affiliate with any denomination. Jesus offers an unbiased Truth that we won't filter through preconceived ideologies and traditions. ATR is Kingdom-minded, in order to rise above opinions, personal interpretations, and denominational barriers.
The Remnant community is a grassroots / early church movement. If it is in the Bible we believe it, follow it, and preach it. If it is not in the Bible, we do not practice it nor acknowledge it as anything more than heresy (extra-Biblical).
We are Pentecostal in experience and Apostolic in identity. We believe in the power of the Holy Ghost, which was first poured out on the day of Pentecost and continues to this day. We believe in complete restoration, which includes tearing down historical, political, and traditional filters in that we may look at what the Bible actually declares: How one must live in accordance to the Scriptures, including a life of modesty of spirit, mind, thought, and image. [2 Corinthians 5:14-21]
We are what you might call a "free church," as compared to the majority of churches that maintain their status in the 501(c)3 non-profit sector. What this means is that we are intrinsically separate from the government in every way possible. We do not accept church policy nor theology to be swayed by the government through funding. We completely rely on help from the congregation and ultimately God to carry out His work. You can read a complete overview of this on Wikipedia.com.
When you visit, you will find nothing is fabricated, manipulated, nor forced. We only want an authentic move of the Holy Ghost. We hope you will find our Spirit-led worship to be exciting and passionate, setting the atmosphere for God to move. The preaching is dynamic and convicting, designed to deepen our relationship with God and allow God to speak for Himself.
To be Apostolic Pentecostal is to hold our confidence and identity in Christ Jesus only, without wavering, and full of truth and faith. [Hebrews 3:12-19] As we live by the Spirit, we will walk by the Spirit, and not satisfy the desires of the flesh. [Galatians 5]
If Jesus is truly LORD of your life and you know Heaven is worth whatever the cost, you are already part of God's remnant. If you are in the area, we would love for you to worship with us. Come expecting and experience both personal and communal revival and restoration.
