We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and Four district persons. God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet they are One God. Each person has precisely the same nature and attributes and is worthy of precisely the same worship, honour and praise. The Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ faith is bound together with the confession of God the Holy spirit. Our mission is to continue the propagation of the legacy of the Holy Spirit, Mons D. Rufino S. Magliba. London Chapter vision is to build our church here in London and help people in need here and abroad. We are very small organization here in London so donations from various individual or company will make a big role in fulfilling our vision. All our churches all over the world are helping people mostly in the Philippines who are affected by natural calamities and to build churches. All members of our church are committed to give donations every year. ## _**STATEMENT OF FAITH:**_ ## _**ABOUT THE GOD THE HOLY ESPIRIT**_ _We are the Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ that is dedicated to loving God, the Holy Spirit with all our heart, mind and soul, and to loving our brothers, sisters and our neighbours as ourselves._ _We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and Four distinct persons: God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet they are One God. Each person has precisely the same nature and attributes and is worthy of precisely the same worship, honour, and praise. The Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ faith is bound together with the confession of God the Holy Spirit._ _We believe in God the Father, the creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1). We believe in God the Mother, truly existed long before the creation. She co-existed with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God the Mother is the picture of a woman, how a woman looks like originated from her. When God created man, He said, let us created man in our likeness, That was why God created man in his likeness, He created them Man and Woman (Genesis 1:27). We believe in God the Son, God from God, who in history assumed to Himself a human nature for the sake of our salvation John 1:14; Hebreo 1:3). He is fully God and fully man. Through Him, all things came into being and were created. He was before all things, and in Him, all things hold together by the words of his power (Colossians 1:15-20). He suffered, Died, was buried and rise in Three Days (Matthew 17:23; Luke 24:46). Resurrected, Ascended, and before the God the Son sits at the right hand of the God the Father. The God the Son ask to the Father to sent us another comforter in his name, that is the God the Holy Spirit John 16:7-15). We believe in the God the Holy Spirit who eternally proceeds from the God the Father and the Son, and is sent by the Father and Son to save to those who believe in the Holy Spirit, and give us a new life John 15:26). The Holy Spirit has come to glorify the Father, the_ _Mother and the Son. and He will lead the Church into right understanding and rich application of the truth of God's Word. He is to be respected, honoured and worshiped as God, the Third Person of the Trinity._ ## _**ABOUT THE BIBLE**_ _The Bible is the infallible Word of God. We believe the Scriptures, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God. The Scripture is sufficient for all the God requires for us to believe and do and is therefore to be believed, as God's instruction, in all that is teaches; obeyed, as God's command, in all that it requires; and trusted, as God's pledge, in all that it promises (Isa.40:6-8). As God's people hear, believe and obey the Word, they are equipped as disciples of Christ and witnesses to the gospel (Rom. 10:14-17). this is the way to learn the truth about God. That we need a Church and Faith (1 Peter 1:5, Romans 1:17, Efeso 2:8, Hebreo 11:6)._ ## _**ABOUT SIN AND SALVATION**_ _We believe that god created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan (Gen. 3:1-24). Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through Faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Only through God's saving grace by believing the God the Holy Spirit JOHN 14:26,JOHN 16:13,JOHN 13:20)._ ## _**ABOUT THE GOSPEL**_ _The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our Sins, was buried, and raise again in 3rd days (Matthew 16:21, Matthew 17:23, Luke 24:46). We obey the gospel, by repentance (death to sin), Water Baptism in the name of the God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son, and receiving the gift and Salvation of the God the Holy Spirit._ _ABOUT THE CRUSADERS OF THE DIVINE CHURCH OF CHRIST_ _The Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ, has it's beginning in the Philippines, in the province Pangasinan lies the coastal town of San Fabian, nestled along the waters of Lingayen Gulf.

Members are believe that he is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the end times. We believe that He is the Second Comforter the Living God to Save those who fulfil His Father's Will and who Obey his Commandments and Teaching. Evidence and Testimony of his countless mysteries and wonders John 4:48). As a Crusaders of the Divine Church of Christ we are to love God and others.

The righteous will inherit eternal life and live in the Kingdom of God._ ## **ACHIEVEMENT, PERFORMANCE and GOALS** The year 2020 was a very challenging for the church, brought about by the pandemic. Nevertheless, officers and members were regularly gathered a meeting monthly virtually via zoom. We had our regular Sunday mass and weekdays early morning and afternoon holy prayer via zoom as well. In line with our effort to establish our church as a charity here in England, we have registered our church as a charity in the Amazon Smile online shop where buyers can now choose us as their sponsor charity for the Amazon to give the certain amount of money as a donation. We have opened our PayPal account as well so we can now raise funds via the social media platform Facebook. Aside from Amazon Smile and Facebook, as mentioned in the previous year reports, we have already opened our Stewardship Recipient Account. This account makes regular giving and raising financial support for the church. Our supporters can set up regular giving via Direct Debit by opening a Stewardship giving account. The great news is that we can also claim the Gift Aid instantly. For fundraising, we have created a profile on give.net as well. As of the end of the year 2020, We have raised funds (“Kamalig” for the construction of our church) in the amount of £1,725.26 both were coming from members contributions and from Facebook donations. We have started this already and we hope to get more donations and contributions in the year to come. We have donated small amount of money in the Philippines during this year, to those affected by typhoon, Family of Clergy’s who passed away and some donations to church improvement/programs. These amounts were collected voluntarily from members. Our main church in the Philippines have just established a vocational and college school that will cater young students from the church members and non-members who are less fortunate. The school offer a free tuition fee throughout the school year. Funds will come from donations from all members of the church. With this new program of the church, London Chapter is looking forward to providing financial and in-kind (technical, laptop and any other school equipment) support. We aim to raise/increase more funds every year as we are not stopping in gathering more information, detail, technic, and mechanic on how to raise funds via all kind of legitimate platform. As the main goal is raising funds for our plan to construct our church building here in London and to help more church members all over the world affected by natural calamities and to support young students who are less fortunate.
