About The Alliance
Spirit Filled International Alliance is a 501(c)3 Christian-based support organization made up of individuals, churches, businesses, and organizations that all hold a belief that… The body of Christ should not be divided among denominations but actively communicating, helping, teaching, learning, and fellow-shipping across these barriers.
Our Mission
CONNECT | CULTIVATE | CREATE
In order to achieve our goals (of which we have a lot) we have combined all of our plans and verbiage into three simple key concepts; Connect, Cultivate, and Create! Let us explain a little deeper.
Our mission at SFIA is to:
Connect Christians! We believe that we are stronger together! We believe that we are better together! That’s why we set up the Alliance Members Directory. So we can all grow together!
Cultivate Leadership! We know how it feels to hear the call of God, say yes in our heart, and then not know where to go from there. By God’s grace we now have over 20 years of experience teaching leaders and helping them realize their ministry, businesses, and brands.
Create Kingdom Culture! People don’t know what they are missing until they see it! Our intention is to build a Christian community like no other that impacts our region, it’s systems, and the people in it with Christ’s Culture in such a way that they yearn to know our Jesus & be a part!
Our Story
We’ll Try To Keep It Short!
Our Founders Apostle Michael Hart & First Lady Akilah Hart are the founding pastors of Spirit Filled Family Church International. They started that journey in 2004. They were able to grow that to one of the 10 largest churches in the High Desert area over a period of 17 years. With a weekly attendance of over 700 individuals and a meeting space of 16,000 square feet.
Through personal prayer and many confirmations through others, God told them there was another work set up for them, and soon he revealed it was much greater than a single church. The Alliance was conceived!
Through the years there were many times that they planned to launch the Alliance but the fullness of time had not yet come!
January 2020 was the turning point for our founders. Like so many others churches Coronavirus Pandemic forced them to close the doors to in-person worship! For the first time in a long time… our pastors had time!
Apostle Michael Hart & First Lady Akilah Hart
This type of event had never happened in their lifetime. A global pandemic forced a nearly worldwide pandemic! What was supposed to last for 14 days, lasted 2 years! BUT all glory be to God! Spirit Filled Family Church did not miss a single bill payment or obligation! Every need of the church was met by the grace of God and a skeleton crew of leaders & members. Near the end of 2022, the world began to open up again!
Now, on the other side of the pandemic, Lady Hart calls it her 2-year involuntary stay-cation! It could have been catastrophic but it wasn’t! During the pandemic not only did God pay every bill but He made sure that by the end of June of 2021, the Hart’s understood their new assignment! The Alliance was now a reality! But even armed with knowledge and a plan, the Harts admit they were not prepared for how quickly God would move through the transitions. Here is a short loose timeline.
