OUR VISION

Winning Souls To Jesus At Any Cost!

The church’s vision is based on Matthew 28:19-20, the Great Commission by Jesus Christ instructing to go forth to all nations and make disciples.

At the center of every gathering is the lost soul and the nonbeliever, ensuring that we help them come to faith in Jesus Christ.

OUR MISSION

To Exalt Jesus Christ By

Evangelizing the Lost

We recognize the condition of all persons outside of the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and full embrace the responsibility of the Great Commission. This authentically expressed the passion of our Saviour, who came to seek and to save the lost. We seek to do this by planting new congregations in Fiji working with other Christian groups where this will strengthen our Christian witness as well as by actively participating in Christian Mission overseas.

Discipling the Believers

We accept the Great Commission’s instruction for us to go and make disciples. This includes inviting believers to receive God’s gift of the Holy Spirit; enabling them to live holy lives, fulfilling the Great Commandment to Love God completely and their neighbors as themselves. A key reforming of society is the transformation of persons by the Grace of God.

Equipping the Church

We provide preparation for ministry and service through the effective training nurturing, education, and the development of the people of God. Our means, methods and tools are deployed to prepare the saints for ministry work. We recognize the place and power of prayer in all aspects of life within the church, including in decision making.

Ministering to Society

We wholeheartedly desire to share the benefits of the gospel with all people everywhere. This includes both evangelism and compassion. We were born in societal reformation and affirm that holy lives bring a holy impact upon culture. We seek to influence our local communities with Christian grace and wisdom by working praying with local Government and other leaders.

Our Core Values

Holiness

Our God is a Holy God

Righteousness

The hunger to be Godly in every aspect of our life

Boldness

The courage to declare the Goodness and the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ, wherever and whenever, and in every opportunity.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28:19-20
