Illumination Community
Illumination is the work of the Holy Spirit conveying to sinners and believers the knowledge and grace of the gospel through the ministry of the Word of God.
Mission
The Illumination Community exists to develop strong, knowledgeable, and bold witnesses for Christ who are inspired to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, equip the body for service, and defend the faith. We achieve this by employing appropriate discipleship models to develop teachers and students who will be acknowledged like Daniel, when he was brought before King Nebuchadnezzar in the 5th Chapter and 14th verse of the book of Daniel. The King said, “I have heard of you, that the Spirit of God is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.”
