Our Statement of Faith

We believe in the Father Almighty who has created the heavens and the earth.

We believe that God's original purpose was to create and maintain a universal community in which there would be creativity and productivity in an environment of health, peace, and harmony.

We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God the Father. We believe that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, died for the forgiveness of our sins, shedding His precious blood, was buried and rose again on the third day. After His resurrection He preached the gospel of the Kingdom for forty days and then ascended into Heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of God, the Father, interceding for the Church, His Bride.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, in His work on earth as Teacher, Comforter, and Guide. We believe in divine healing provided through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. We believe in the Word of God and in the Living Word, Jesus Christ, Incarnate.

We believe that the Kingdom of God is built in trust and that the strategy of the Kingdom is love. We believe that God will destroy the destroyer of the earth. We believe in the holy universal Church built upon Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone, the foundation being the Apostles and the Prophets.

We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ which will occur when the gospel of the Kingdom has been preached to all the earth as a witness. We believe that when Christ returns He will judge the quick and the dead and He will establish God's Kingdom of which there will be no end. And He shall reign forever and ever. Amen.

Our Bishop

Bishop David Huskins is a man who has been called a dreamer, and he is a true apostle who carries a prophetic mantle. Bishop Huskins has experienced the miraculous power of God personally. Bishop and his wife Michelle have four sons: Aaron, Zachary, Isaac, and Michael.

Bishop Huskins, along with the Board of Elders, established the Cedar Lake Christian Center of Cedartown, Georgia as a covering ministry in 1986. The church has become a working prototype of a true Vineyard Harvester church. The church consists of ministries of the arts of music, drama, and dance. Other ministries include a refuge for HIV/Aids patients, an outreach program to jails and prisons, a highly acclaimed ministry to the chemically addicted and many other ministries designed to meet the needs of God's people. Bishop Huskins believes reaching the outcast and unwanted should be the norm and not the exception.

Bishop Huskins is a former city council member from White, Georgia and was given the Outstanding Citizenship Award by the city of White in 1981. He was the Chairman of Congressman Bob Barr's Family Task Force and also a member of the late U.S. Senator Paul Coverdell's Good Government Committee. He was later presented the Key to the City by the City of Cedartown in January 1991. Presently, he is the host of a weekly radio program and the guest host of many television programs for TCT Network, Daystar, and a guest of TBN.

Bishop Huskins was presented an Honorary Doctorate of Education Degree by Universal Faith Kingdom Academy in September 1990. He finished his Doctorate of Theology in Biblical Studies in 1998 from Florida Theological Seminary. He was bestowed a Doctorate of Divinity degree in October 2004 by Saint Thomas Christian College. Bishop Huskins believes education is the key to breaking dividing walls; therefore, he is the chancellor of Vineyard Harvester Christian Academy and the chairman of the board of regents of Vineyard Harvester Bible College. Cedar Lake Christian Center believes in education “from the womb to the tomb.”

Since being ordained into the office of Bishop in February, 1989, pastors in many states and nations have submitted to Bishop Huskins who serves as the spiritual covering for each of their ministries. Presently, many churches are affiliated with the Fellowship of Vineyard Harvester Churches in the United States and other nations around the globe. He is the author of “The Power of a Covenant Heart” and “The Purpose of a Covenant Heart”, released by Destiny Image Publishers.

We are also honored to be a part of the International Communion of Charismatic Churches (ICCC), an international organization representing over 4.2 million people. Bishop David Huskins serves as the Presiding Bishop of the ICCC, which serves as the leadership of the International Communion of Charismatic Churches. He also serves on numerous other boards and committees.

When Bishop David Huskins ministers, signs and wonders always follow his preaching of the word. When he comes into your congregation, he will not come with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in power and demonstration in the Holy Ghost. He is a husband, father, pastor, prophet, and apostle. Bishop Huskins is most of all a servant of God!

Our Belief

Cedar Lake Christian Center is “Orthodox” in our theology, drawing from the foundations of early Apostolic and church Fathers. We embrace without reservation the great creeds of the historic Christian Church including the Apostles Creed of 390 AD, the Nicene Creed of 325 AD, and others. CLCC is “Reformed” in our doctrine accepting the reforms of the 16^th and 17^th century through Luther, Calvin, Zwigli, and the Puritan writers.

CLCC is “Catholic – wherever Jesus is present” in our conviction that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is one Holy and Apostolic Church. CLCC is “Evangelical” in our adherence to the authority of Scripture, the deity of Christ, and Salvation through faith in the atoning work of Christ. CLCC is “Charismatic” in our worship and ministry, partaking of the power of the Holy Spirit and exercising the biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit. CLCC is “Christological” in our belief that the Lord Jesus Christ is central in our worship and Christian practices. He is Lord of our lives, Head of His church, and King of His Kingdom. CLCC is “Incarnational” in our theology, not that we are Christ, but that Christ is in us, and we are in the world, continuing His work and demonstrating His Kingdom on earth. CLCC is “Covenantal”, believing that accomplishing God’s purposes on earth is possible only through our response to His covenant. His covenant was dramatized in the Old Testament through human experience with his people and is fully ratified in the New Testament through the atoning work of Christ. CLCC is “Restorational” in our practical theology knowing that the central work of God is restoring man, the earth, and the universe back to God’s original plan and purpose. CLCC is “Kingdom” in our theology, believing that the central issue and concern of God in scripture is His righteous rule in Heaven and earth. Since the Kingdom of God was the major subject preached and taught by Christ during His earthly ministry and after His resurrection, the church therefore, is the embassy of the Kingdom of God and must proclaim Christ as both Savior and Lord of all.
