Pastor Tensley's ministry has confirmed:

* The importance of family. It is his desire to "Rebuild God's Family Structure", according to the word of God.
* The act of living a "set free" and "liberated" life through the power of the Holy Spirit; not allowing demonic forces to rule and reign over and in the lives of Gods people.
* Pastor Tensley also believes that leaders in the local church are not the only individuals who can preach and teach the gospel of Christ, but it takes the whole entire body of Christ in the local church to demonstrate Gods power, displaying the authority He has given them. All believers have unique abilities, gifts, and talents, everyone must participate in getting Gods purpose and plan completed in the Kingdom, there is no time for a one man ministry. It takes the priesthood of believers, and the pastors can not do it alone! There must be a restoration and reformation of the body of Christ. Pastor Tensley says that it is the five-fold ascension gifts responsibility to equip, perfect, and edify the body of Christ for the work of the ministry; we are to gather, train, and send out. (Ephesians 4:11-12; John 20:21)
* A true "Apostolic Leader" attends to the flock and cares about the state and mind of the sheep God has given him.

Tensley is the husband of Charlene Cheeks, and father of two daughters, Hannah and Bethany.
