Our Senior Pastor and his wife support the Pastoral needs of the Church by taking responsibility over in the absence of the other Church Leaders. He overseers the affair of the Church and this has gained more support and encouragement from the Leaders and even members of the Church. Because of the work demands of most of our Men in Church, they were able to Organize trips to Scotland, and other Europe holiday destinations for them mountain climbing. This helped boost our Men’s bonding as well as their spiritual and physical well-being as they have morning and evening Bible studies before they spend their day out. We were able to give them some Pastoral care specially to those who have been struggling in their spiritual life. Our women also had their prayer group and fellowship that supports other women in Church.

Our Church Building.

At present, The Church building has been fully paid and this has been a testament to the us, our Leaders and the Church members who has sacrificed and has been generous in their financial support. The presence of some of the people of the local community in the church and their memories of Childhood shared with us when they grew up in this Church, gives us the encouragement to know how the Church building itself is already a big impact to the local community thus giving us also the hope to value that legacy.
