Jack Hakimian's Religious Denominational Affiliations
Jack Hakimian is a kingdom-minded independent leader who is part of various evangelical networks but does not officially associate with any denomination.
Jack Hakimian was saved in the L.A. County jail and began attending chapel services led by Southern Baptists, Pentecostals, and Catholics. When he was released, he found fellowship and growth in the Calvary Chapel Movement, Foursquare Gospel Denomination, Great Commission Baptist, and Armenian Evangelical Movement.
He greatly appreciates the many expressions of Christianity. However, he disagrees with certain tenets, such as the role of baptism in salvation, tongues as evidence of salvation, or the power of the Holy Spirit.
These churches, movements, and national expressions include but are not limited to Eastern & Coptic Orthodox Churches, Western Roman Catholic Churches, Protestant Churches, Evangelical Churches, Reformed Churches, Southern & Northern Baptist Churches, AME Churches, Pentecostal Churches, Charismatic Churches, Independent/Non-Denominational Churches, House-Church Movements, Micro Church Movements, Asian Christianity, African Christianity, Caribean Christianity, European Christianity, Middle-Eastern Christianity, South American Christianity, North American Christianity, etc.).
He believes these various movements must self-evaluate and critique their doctrines and practices in light of scripture and examples of Christ, Apostles, and early Christians.
Without constant self-, communal, biblical, and results-oriented evaluation, these movements will die, distort God’s will, and become displeasing to Christ, the Lord of the Church!
His independence allows him to associate with like-minded Christian churches while maintaining freedom of thought on secondary matters and culturally contextual issues.
He is grateful for the freedom and unity the Universal Church-Body of Christ possesses—an agreement built around the worship and obedience of Christ and Scripture.
He seeks to live, teach, and defend Jesus Christ’s teachings, urging that all aspects of life be lived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
His ultimate mission is to make disciples who make disciples of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20)
