About Us

Hardcore Christianity is a non-denominational, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation specializing in counseling, healing, teaching, ministering in the Spirit and deliverance. It is based on Matthew, Mark, Luke & John and patterns its practice after the Book of Acts. It’s board members include one licensed Assembly of God pastor and one former Arizona prison chaplain. The ministry also operates the Arizona Deliverance Center & the Healing House in central Phoenix. The Biblical theme of the ministry is Acts 10:38: “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost & power. He went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.” One of the main services of the ministry is to provide free counseling services to the poor.

Our Mission

Acts 26:18/Mark 7:27: “To open the eyes of Christians to turn them from the deception of seducing spirits to the real truth of Christianity. To turn them from the lies of the devil to the Truth of God, that they might understand that evil spirits have over-run the churches in North America & that Christians can be infected (not possessed) with spirits and need deliverance & that they can receive forgiveness of sins, physical healing & deliverance from demonic disease & mental illness & that they can receive an inheritance among those that are sanctified by Faith in Christ & understand that the Children’s Bread of deliverance is for all saints.”
