We are dedicated to spreading the Kingdom of God through love, discipleship and the teachings of Jesus Christ to our community and beyond.
We're a church that teaches, proclaims and demonstrates the power of the Kingdom of Heaven. We work to equip God's people to their Kingdom identity, for works of service.
We receive from the well of wisdom from our elders, inspired by the desire of our youth and encouraged by the hungry for truth from the body representing different nations.
We're a place where you are encouraged to live as a citizen of the Kingdom. We want you to be comfortable learning how to live a kingdom lifestyle.
We lay the ground work to help you live by faith, in the power of the Holy Spirit and under Kingdom authority. We share the realities of the supernatural presence of the Kingdom of heaven that is to benefit the body.
We're a body that firmly believes when you encounter Jesus and the supernatural presence of God you are delivered, healed and free.
We're a body that firmly believes He gave us higher protocols so we can entreat Him properly. Our hope is to see other believers who learn how to go before His throne and pray according to His will, purpose and intentions.

My message ~ from my heart so you get to know me better. I received my masters in 2013 and doctorate in 2021 from GMQ-U. I am dad, a husband, entrepreneur, author, life coach, podcaster and head of our kingdom school. I like to read books, family time, my alone time is excercising, and being outdoors no matter the season. I believe wholeheartedly that we are to know those who we labor with. I believe in the Kingdom of Heaven and that every born again person enters the Kingdom of Heaven and has great potential to become who they ought to be if they will die to self daily, learn how to cultivate life in the kingdom of Heaven and know and understand their birthright. I am the eldest son to Debbie and Michael E. Thomas Sr. Since moving back to Northern Illinois, it has been challenging to serve and work to expand His kingdom into this region for it is true that a servant is not welcomed in his own hometown. Throughout this awesome journey that I encountered and agreed to join, I am blown away how much He loves, protects, sustains, and applies His grace, favor and mercy so I can be a successful person of influence. This apostolic journey is ongoing and comes at a price. In the beginning, I didn't understand this ministry walk because I didn't grow up in the typical church construct. I grew after having a divine encounter that caused me to desire Him and understand what this kingdom was about. When He encountered me it ruined me for everything. Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven is my everything. God has placed in my life some key people who have nurtured and steered me towards being a man after God's heart so I remain humble and walk in wisdom. My life serves in my teaching.
In 2013, I was invited to speak/serve at an apostolic meeting in Chicago. This particular meeting has changed me forever. As the meeting ended, these 2 elder prophetic sisters came to me and delivered a a heavy prophetic word for me to carry. A few months later, I would gain insight by one of my elder brothers, and God gave me a kingdom covenant to not only bare, but fulfill as one of His elect servants called to establish his apostolic stations. So our church in essence serves as a hub - station! This apostolic station is based upon the foundations of the Kingdom of Heaven and structured in His love and the Spirit of Wisdom to help establish His protocols for those after Him. I am honored & blessed to be chosen to steward NMFC, 4 C I T Ministries International, KAMA (Kingdom Apostolic Ministries Association), 126 Genesis Media, LLC and Global Missions Quest U. By His grace, appointment and affirmed by my elders I have been serving the Kingdom of Heaven since 2007.
Kyra, the youngest of 6, has been serving with her parents since 2016. Kyra has given her life to Christ and was filled with the Holy Spirit in 2021. She has a strong prophetic anointing, being a servant leader who influences her peers and is sought after for counsel. She has a remarkable mind for helping her peers who are left behind, underserved and/or houseless in Loves Park and Machesney Park, Illinois. When you meet her you will be amazed at her life story and what God has done and still is doing for her. Her desire is to bring people of all ages together to learn about the kingdom and be healed of any physical, emotional or even spiritual wounds. She hopes to lead the teens and whoever else she engages to Jesus, training them up so they will be ready for battle and never stray away through her ministry Project One Giant Step Ministry. Kyra loves participating in ministry functions that allow kids to grow gradually whether its breaking down the word in groups or when asking questions.
Globally she would love to visit other teens, learn and share the gospels with them. She would love to see other kids have access to audio bibles and connect with the church to give them a solid foundation. Through meeting others and serving, she hopes they come to know about her home church, connect through social media and become interested in a the Kingdom of God. Lastly, she wants to leave a seed for others to unite!
She enjoys her spiritual time in God, singing, dancing, shopping, connecting with friends and hanging out with her family. To be a part of her ministry just reach out.

In 2007, led by Holy Spirit, Michael found himself answering the ministry call to Jesus in front of the body in Christ which began a two year world wind journey becoming one of His appointed minister’s and founder of New Millennium Faith Church & 4 C I T Ministries International. After answering the commission to the position of apostolic minister and then affirmed through his elders, he began the responsibility to develop & minister the kingdom of heaven to ministers, leaders and the body in Christ around the world. With his wife, they began the church in their basement the summer of 2008 hosting home bible studies with a handful of people. It was April 1st, when Michael and his wife heard a message from Heavenly Father who gave them the name of the church.
The church began in their home and then grew into missions throughout the Midwest states. The church moved to downtown Chicago for three years before Michael heard the Lord tell Him to return home to build the apostolic foundation. Currently, we host kingdom bible studies, outreach and weekend services.
We believe in the message and purpose Jesus produced when He returned to earth what Adam had lost. Simply put, it wasn't a religion. It was the Kingdom of Heaven that Adam lost dominion to on earth and this is what our Savior redeemed us back to the Father to receive again. His message was simple, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." He taught, proclaimed and demonstrated the power of it. We live to abide as followers of the Way - doing what Jesus did to get the results He promised His bride.
He taught us the importance and ways to live in sonship, and how to gain access to Heavenly Father, how not to worry in Heavenly Father's Kingdom and what is our birthright as kingdom citizens on earth. Through Jesus, we are able to have our seat in heavenly places and impacted to do the greater works.
We cannot get to our Heavenly Father without Christ Jesus. We cannot receive the posession of the Holy Spirit without Christ Jesus. We cannot receive the keys to the Kingdom without Christ Jesus. He is more than a figure written about in the scriptures. He is to us 100% the visible image of our invisible Heavenly Father. We know we can do all things through Jesus who gives us our strength.
Jesus being our pattern, released the Apostolic mandate to His first disciples and this bares witness to our apostle (Matthew 10:1-20). The basis for the apostolic order to this church is given to our understanding in (Acts 2:42-47; 4:32-35, 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16). These make up our foundation that we cultivate expanding the kingdom from.
Our beliefs are based in the entire teachings of the recorded scriptures that lead us to Abba Father through Jesus Christ. We believe in the Kingdom of Heaven, salvation through repentance and faith in Jesus, and the importance of living a Kingdom life through surrender, submission, righteousness, spiritual obedience, love and service. Read below to learn more about our beliefs.
We are passionate about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe discipleship is our main purpose in the ways of Jesus. We are passionate about maturing in our relatoinship to the Father and faith in Jesus by the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about how we cooperate with the anointed Holy Spirit. We learn how to cultivate a powerful life in our kingdom identity while demonstrating under God's Authority, each day discovering our purpose as we live in Him and have our being. We understand through holy living we become an extension of Heavenly Father as one of His kingdom ambassadors, emissaries and citizens, all being His representatives on earth in each of our respective territories.
We believe we are a representation of the apostolic church in Ephesus recorded in Revelations. This apostolic kingdom station is responsible for stewarding and administrating Heavenly Father's Kingdom government into the earth realm as we go proclaiming, teaching and demonstrating the power to the Kingdom just as Jesus did through love. Believing and carrying out these truths of the Kingdom of heaven, our faith leads us as long as we abide and cooperate with the Holy Spirit. You will come to understand our doctrine is His doctrine and through our apostleship we are connected to our historical kingdom roots. You will learn that Jesus Christ is the center of our lives and the Kingdom is our foundation by apostolic and prophetic leading.
Jesus Christ established our birthright by redeeming us out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of Light allowing us the unique privilege to become born again through the baptism of the power in the Holy Spirit. Our birthright, is taught in John 3:3-5. This word establishes our citizenship (by the Spirit of Adoption) which gives us the right to live in our Kingdom privileges to all who believe in Him. We must become born again to see the Kingdom of God and be born of water and Spirit to enter the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of heaven is not only for when we die, but scripture reveals that it is accessible to us today. Our birthright allows us to have a spiritual relationship, access and proximity to our Heavenly Father through His son. We obtain citizenship by identifying with Father's heavenly Kingdom and His kingdom identifies, affirms, supports, and serves every co-heir of salvation. As a kingdom citizen, we have rights and privileges to see and access heaven as born again spirit-filled citizens of His kingdom. Our citizenship allows us also the special privilege to be seated in heavenly places with Jesus Christ. Our seat is our authority and we learn maturity in the faith and how to sit partnering in Jesus' work of governing the affairs of God into the earth realm.
We believe that God's presence is real and powerful and that He desires to encounter us in a personal way. You must be Born Again and filled by the Holy Spirit. We believe, according to the scriptures, that His children receive their heavenly gift that enables communication with Abba Father.
Our redemption means everything to us, because we have been redeemed through Jesus Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit and the spiritual baptism enables us to receive the gifts from the Holy Spirit by grace alone. We believe that the Holy Spirit also blesses each of Heavenly Father's children with the utterance of a supernautral Kingdom language known as gift of tongues. It is graced to us as evidence that we are truly His Children knowing its translations are all the languages of every nation. The Kingdom language is not something we perform, but once given to us we learn how to use it in our prayer life and assemblies, as well, it is a sign to unbelievers. It is a unique language to all who are born again.
We believe that kids and teens are an important part of our ecclesiastical community. We believe our children and teens must be trained up in the ways of God and nurtured every step of the way until they can bear the fruit themselves. We will model this example: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Knowledge.
We believe our kids hear from God and also can participate in Kingdom life together in a fun an engaging way.
Sonship and the privileges of
being adopted back into Father's Kingdom, we can call Him Abba Father. In this way, we gain sonship through communing with our heavenly Father developing a relationship based upon the unconditional love He initiates first, so we know to reciprocate it. We are worthy to receive this love because Jesus had to paid the price to deliver Father's love to us. Jesus Christ released to His Kingdom followers 4 protocols that inform us how to live a blessed life in Heavenly Father's Kingdom
1. Abiding in Him
2. Abiding in His word
3. Abiding in His love
4. Abiding with the fruit of the Holy Spirit
When we abide in these protocols we can ask Heavenly Father, in Jesus name, and Jesus declares His father shall do it for us (John 15:2-16).
At New Millennium Faith Church, we believe that Jesus commissions the elect as it is written in Ephesians 4. We believe the authority given to the apostles and prophets has the spiritual grace to ordain servants as they are called and the body affirms each. We believe that every good gift from above is for all of us today as the Holy Spirit wills. You have a unique purpose and ministry in life. We offer classes and resources to help you discover your purpose and take steps towards fulfilling it.
We believe that life is better when we do it together. We encourage you not to forsake the assembly of family. That's why we offer a weekly connections on Wednesday and Saturday evening. Small groups are available for those who want to have more one on one fellowships and build meaningful relationships.
We believe that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey. We offer classes, resources, and opportunities to help you grow in your faith and deepen your relationship with God.
When it comes to His values of Kingdom matrimony it is between a man who leaves his mom and dad and clings to His wife. This is the only manner this apostolic station sanctions what the Kingdom of heaven ordained at the Genesis of God's creation.
NMFC holds standards of the Kingdom of heaven in creation when it comes to sensitive topics outside the Godly structure of His kingdom parameters. Our position stands that; homosexuality, transgender and any other distortion of His creation is anti-doctrine of the Kingdom of heaven period! Females born have the divine ability to carry and birth babies; they have female genitalia with XX chromosomes' with biological markers that are relevant.
In the same thought males born have the divine ability to carry sperm /seed to create a life; they have male genitalia with XY chromosomes' and biological markers are relevant. Heavenly Father has ordained procreation this way. We do not believe the DNA of Heavenly Father, Creator of life, created confusion in genome markers in his creation from the animal kingdom to humanity.
The moment a defiled, perverted and familiar spirit victimizes ones mindset and mentality taking advantage in crisis that causes an opportunity of perversion to alter the natural state and course of God's original plan
The Bible lists it as a destructive lifestyle, out of the will of God for His creation.
1. It violates the command of Genesis 1 to be fruitful and multiply
2. It is judged in Genesis 19 (cf. 2 Pet. 2:6-8; Jude 7) and Judges 19
3. It characterizes pagan worship and culture (cf. Lev. 18:22; 20:13; Rom. 1:18-28; and Jude 1:7)
4. It reveals a self-centered independence from God (cf. 1 Cor. 6:9-10; 1 Tim. 1:10)
For these reasons NMFC recognizes marriage between a man and a woman - period!
