CHURCH MISSION
King’s Christian Fellowship Church overall mission and principal object/purpose, as laid out within their Constitution, is “the education and advancement of the Christian faith” .
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our Vision is to be a Church which brings people into a deeply passionate relationship with Jesus Christ and to train, equip and release people into their full potential and divine destiny, in line with the Great Commission, as stated in Mathew 28:
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.[16 ] He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.[17 ] And these signs will follow those who[[][a][]] believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;[18 ] they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
We believe that it is also vitally important as a Church to demonstrate the Love of Christ Jesus in a compassionate and practical ways, both within our local community and to the Nations of the World. As stated in Matthew 25:35-46 NKJV, in the Words of Jesus: “for I was hungry, and you gave Me food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’”
We aim to be a Church that makes a real difference as stated in Colossians 1:13-14, to bring people into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, to know the Father’s Love and the Power of the Holy Spirit, to set them free from the powers of darkness and oppression and convey them into the Kingdom of Light, where through Jesus they will have “Redemption through His Blood” and “the Forgiveness of sins.” This is our Mission and Main Objects of this Church.
