About Kara Sanderson
After childhood sexual abuse and a lifetime of rejection, I left summer church camp in 1994 believing God didn’t love me, angry at the world, and in full rebellion. As a result, I ended up making a mess of my life. After seven years of chasing what the world had to offer, I found myself in the middle of a divorce and expecting my first baby.
After becoming a public-school teacher, I felt unfulfilled, so I surrendered to God and pursued ministry. I learned that true contentment comes from seeking God’s will.
My life was wonderful. As I grew in the Lord, He led me away from that hometown church I had poured my heart and soul into. The leadership did not agree this was God’s will. Relationships were tremendously severed, leaving me hurt, confused, isolated, and brokenhearted, and fighting the enemy alone, which led to a two-week battle with thoughts of suicide.
I realized I needed healing from things “swept under the rug.” After asking the church for help but finding none, I saw a Christian counselor. The Lord met me there, bringing deep healing to my shattered heart.
I am Kara Sanderson, an ordained minister of the Gospel. The Lord directed me to share these truths with all of you. I am determined to use my story and the things the Lord has revealed to me and walk with you in your healing journey from brokenhearted to wholeness.
Our Mission
I am passionate to see the Acts Church alive and active in our lives today. I am on a mission to help the lost, hurting, and broken discover healing, salvation, and deliverance through the power of God operating through me to bring in a vast harvest of souls in the last days!
Core Values
- We believe the Scriptures are inspired by God.
- We believe there is One True God revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe man willingly fell into sin – ushering in evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
- We believe every person can be restored to fellowship with God through accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness and salvation.
- We believe in water baptism by immersion after salvation, and Holy Communion as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
- We believe the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service. It is also the open door through which the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit will flow, as found in 1 Cor. 12:1-11, including speaking in tongues.
- We believe sanctification initially occurs at salvation, but is also a progressive lifelong process.
- We believe the Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin.
- We believe God calls both men and women into every type of ministry including, but not limited to, the five-fold ministry as outlined in Ephesians 4:11-12.
- We believe there are only two genders, male and female; the anatomical gender with which we are born, is the gender God intended, and the gender we are to remain.
- We believe marriage is between one man and one woman.
- We believe divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement.
- We believe that Jesus will rapture His Church.
- We believe in the millennial reign of Christ when Jesus returns with his saints at his second coming and begins His rule over earth for 1,000 years.
- We believe in a final judgment for those who have rejected Christ.
- We believe in a new heavens and a new earth that Christ is preparing for all people who have accepted Him.
