ABOUT US
In life you have dreamers, and
you have visionaries. Without action, nothing
comes to a dreamer but a dream. However, a true
visionary receives a vision from God, continues
in prayer for the manifestation of the vision,
and carries out the necessary preparation in
hopes for the fulfillment of the vision. Diligent,
persistent, hopeful, patience, dedicated, and
prayerful are some of the attributes that describe
a true visionary. These very attributes are
often used to describe the visionaries of Bang
Theory.
God gave Todd "Bangz" Elliott a vision
several years ago. This vision would revolutionize
urban music and ministry outreach combined.
Utilizing our gifts and talents to spiritually,
financially, and physically pour into the lives
of the people of our cities, as well as those
across the globe. Doing our part in fulfilling
the great commission by "going and making
disciples of all men" (Matthew 28:19) .
Knowing this vision for Gods soul harvest would
be great and too much for one man and his wife
to accomplish, they embraced the concept of
"Unity in the Body" by inviting others
of like mind to join in the labor. Furthermore
birthing "BANG THEORY MUSIC"!
Not to be confused with Darwin's theory of "Big
Bang", where he claims there was some
cosmic explosion which eventually formed everything
as we know it. Rather, we claim as
Christians... "God Spoke and "BANG"
it IS! And still is! His word
never fails!
WHAT WE BELIEVE...
We believe God the Father, the Son Jesus the
Christ, and the Holy Spirit are one!
We believe Jesus walked the earth to give his
life as the final sin atonement.
We believe if we call on the name of Jesus and
live like it, we will be saved from sin
and death.
We believe Jesus was crucified and arose on
the third day and is very much ALIVE!
We believe that same Jesus will come back to
earth to judge the world.
We believe music is made by God and should be
used to please him.
We believe everything we say and do should directly
reflect the Heart of God.
We believe we've been called to be the end times
light to retrieve those from the
darkness of this world.
God spoke and it IS!!! Bang Theory !
OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple...
To evangelize the world by sharing the love
of Jesus, and to edify and church as God bring
them into the truth. Our methods are to use
the very anointing God gave to Lucifer... MUSIC!
Music is the timestamp of life events, memories,
special moments and various occasions. It is
also one of the most powerful ways of communicating.
Most children today will know all of the words
to todays most popular songs before they know
how to read and write.
Urban music and it's culture (Hip Hop/R&B)
has effectively infiltrated the entire world.
It is the driving force of a demonic mult-billion
dollar industry designed to turn our youth against
God!
Our music however, is geared towards addressing
the sin root as the core problem. Through Hip-Hop
& Contemporary/Soul music we share our testimonies
and present the word of God in a way that connects
with todays generation. We use the slang of
the streets, hot music, and mix it with God's
language of love.
But it doesn't stop there... Once God save them
from their sinful lives, what will they listen
too? The temptation of secular music becomes
a stumbling block to new believers as well as
some veterans.
That's why the "sancturary raps" are
also very relevant! We cannot just "GO"
But rather "GO AND MAKE DESCIPLES OF ALL
MEN".

OUR FELLOWSHIP
BETHEL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP STATEMENT
OF FAITH
This church accepts the entirety of the Holy
Scriptures as the revealed will of God, and
the all-sufficient rule for faith and practice.
For the purpose of maintaining general unity,
Bethel Christian Fellowship has adopted the
following statement of faith, which is intended
simply as a basis of fellowship among us (i.e.,
that we all speak the same thing - I Corinthians
1:10; Acts 2:41). The phraseology employed in
this statement is not inspired or contended
for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential
to a full gospel ministry. No claim is made
that it contains all of the truths of the Bible,
only that it covers our need as to the fundamental
doctrines of this church.
1. The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old
and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of
God. (II Timothy 3:15-17; I Thessalonians 2:13;
II Peter 1:21)
2. The One True God
The one true God has revealed
Himself as the eternally self- existent “I
AM”, the Creator of heaven and earth and
the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed
Himself as embodying the principles of relationship
and association as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19;
Luke 3:22).
3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus
Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the
eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare:
-A. His virgin birth (Matthew
1:23; Luke 1:31,35).
-B. His sinless life (Hebrews
7:26; 1 Peter 2:22).
-C. His miracles (Acts 2:22;
10:38).
-D. His substitutionary work
on the cross (I Corinthians 15:3; II Corinthians
5:21).
-E. His bodily resurrection
from the dead (Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; I Corinthians
15:4).
-F. His exaltation to the right
hand of God (Acts 1:9; 2:33; Philippians 2:9-11;
Hebrews 1-3).
-4. The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright;
for God said, “Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness.” However, man
by voluntary transgression fell and thereby
incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual
death, which is separation from God (Genesis
1:26,27; 2:17; 3:6; Romans 5:12-19).
5. The Salvation of Man
Man’s only hope of redemption
is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God.
- A. Conditions to Salvation
Salvation is received through repentance toward
God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ.
Justified by grace through faith, man becomes
an heir of God to eternal life.
(Luke 24:47; John 3:3; Romans
10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7).
- B. Evidences of Salvation
The inward evidence of salvation
is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans
8:16). The outward evidence to all men is a
life of righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians
4:24; Titus 2:12).
6. Ordinances of the Church
A. Baptism in Water
The ordinance of water baptism
into Jesus Christ by immersion in the name of
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost is commanded
in the Scriptures. All who repent and believe
on Christ as savior and Lord are to be baptized.
(Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47-48; Romans
6:4).
B. Holy Communion
The Lord’s Supper, consisting
of the elements - bread and the fruit of the
vine. (II Peter 1:4; I Corinthians 11:26; I
Corinthians 11:26)
7. The Baptism in the Holy Ghost
Believers should normally expect
that the baptism in the Holy Ghost and the initial
physical sign of speaking with other tongues
as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts
2:4). Speaking in tongues in this instance is
the same in essence as the gift of tongues (I
Corinthians 12:4-10,28), but different in purpose
and use.
8. Sanctification
Sanctification is an act of
separation from that which is evil and of dedication
unto God (Romans 12:1,2; I Thessalonians 5:23;
Hebrews 13:12). The scriptures teach a life
of “holiness without which no man shall
see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). By the
power of the Holy Ghost we are able to obey
the command: “Be ye holy, for I am holy”
(I Peter 1:15,16). The work of sanctification
continues throughout our lives by faith, reckoning
daily upon the fact of our union with Christ,
and by offering every ability continually to
the dominion of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6:1-11,13;
8:1,2,13; Galatians 2:20; Philippians 2:12,13;
I Peter 1:5).
9. The Church and Its Mission
The Church is the Body of Christ,
the habitation of God through the Spirit, with
divine appointments for the fulfillment of her
great commission. Every believer is a minister
called to serve Christ in accomplishing His
purpose for His Church.
10. The Five-Fold Ministry
A divinely called and scripturally
ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord
for the purpose of equipping the saints for
the work of the ministry and the building up
of the other believers. (Ephesians 4:4-16)
11. Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral
part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness
is provided for in the atonement, and is the
privilege of all believers (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew
8:16,17; James 5:14-16).
12. The Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who
have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation
together with those who are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent
and blessed hope of the Church (I Thessalonians
4:16,17; Romans 8:23; Titus 2:13; I Corinthians
15:51,52).
13. The Millennial Reign of
Christ
The second coming of Christ
includes the rapture of the saints, which is
our blessed hope, followed by the visible return
of Christ with His saints to reign on the earth
for one thousand years (Zechariah 14:5; Matthew
24:27,30; Revelation 1:7; 19:11-14; 20:1-6).
This millennial reign will bring the salvation
of national Israel (Ezekiel 37:21,22; Zephaniah
3:19,20; Romans 11:26,27) and the establishment
of universal peace (Isaiah 11:6-9, Psalm 72:3-8;
Micah 4:3,4).
14. The Final Judgment
There will be a final judgment
in which the wicked dead will be raised and
judged according to their works. Whosoever is
not found written in the Book of Life, together
with the devil and his angels, the beast and
the false prophet, will be consigned to everlasting
punishment in the lake which burns with fire
and brimstone, which is the second death (Matthew
25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15;
21:8).
15. The New Heaven and the New
Earth
“We, according to His
promise, look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwells righteousness” (II Peter
3:13; Revelation 21-22).
