Rowdy and Ashli Van Horn have been in full-time ministry for 29 years.  Together, they traveled the world as Revivalists for 11 years, ministering across America, and through Europe, Southeast Asia, and Kenya.  Then God called them to pioneer a new kind of church in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.  A church filled with Jesus, joy, and victory--where the Holy Spirit is free to move, heal, and transform hearts and lives.  Pastor Rowdy carries a great anointing as a world-class speaker, worshiper, and genuine servant leader, and Ashli brings her gifts of administration, prayer, training, and communion with God to build Jesus People Church--a Spirit-Filled, Bible believing church.  
Jesus People Church is not a process, club, performance or habit.  It is place of unity with God and each other.  It has also become a destination church for many people across the country who travel a great distance once or twice a year to be in the services to experience the move of God, revival in their spirit, and to worship along with the unique, powerful style of praise and worship. Life is filled with many challenges, and church is supposed to be a connected family: a place of genuine relationships, strength and growth.  Along with their 3 children, Pastors Rowdy and Ashli invite you to experience this place of Jesus, healing, joy, and victory! 

A genuine community of Jesus People who exist to experience and share the joy and Presence of God. 

Everyone is valuable.  There is a place for you here. 

You are created to be empowered by God and change the world for His glory. We think it's our job to love, refresh, strengthen, and support you  to do what God has gifted and called you to do.
Unity with God and Community with each other is God's powerful design to empower us to shine the transformative light of Jesus into our world. 

Because of Jesus at work in us, we seek to treat everyone with honor, all the time. Within the leadership, this means having hard conversations and taking personal responsibility to grow continuously.  Within the church, having a culture of honor means not just pretending things are okay and looking the other way when they're not, but actually loving enough to be real, and to give and receive strength.

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, and that men were moved by the Spirit to write words of Scripture. We believe it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Savior of the lost world, and that He sent God’s Holy Spirit to us to comfort us, to be our advocate, to fill us with spiritual gifts, to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit within us, and to lead us into a greater knowledge of God.

We believe that man was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by his own effort.

We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, salvation only occurs when a person places his faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for his sin. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me.” He said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

We believe that every Christian should live for God and not for him or herself. By obedience to the Word and daily yielding to the Spirit, every believer will mature and become conformed to the image of Christ.

We believe that the church is the body of Christ of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The members are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to a lost world.

We Believe God has spoken to us through the Scriptures. Therefore, the Bible is our ultimate authority. 

We believe God desires an intimate relationship with every believer. Through prayer, meditation, worship, and Bible study, we can pursue and achieve a real and intimate relationship with God. 

We believe our role is to create environments that are conducive to the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of people. A relevant environment combined with competent leadership will allow us to connect with our audience. 

We believe that all believers have the responsibility of carrying out the great commission in their sphere of influence. We pursue this through our “Invest & Invite” strategy. 

We believe accountability, care, and a sense of belonging are critical to balance and progress in our spiritual journey. These three things are best achieved within the context of a small group of like-minded, relationally-connected believers.

As gifted members of the body of Christ, each believer is responsible for exercising his or her gifts in tandem with other members of the body. It is not enough to exercise spiritual gifts. Maximum impact is contingent upon a coordinated, strategic exercise of gifts in the body.

We believe that every believer is responsible for passing along to others the knowledge, skills, and opportunities for service that God, through others entrusted to them.
