Empowered by the Spirit, Walking in Faith
Our Mission
Our vision is to glorify God by bringing the lost to Jesus in obedience to the Great Commission as spelt out in Matthew 28:19-20, employing every available resource and all acceptable means.
Our mission is to exalt God in worship, equip our people to be able to communicate to the people of Kokomlemle and its environs the life-changing love and power of Jesus Christ; to develop them into responsible, useful, fruitful Christians; and prepare them for their ministry in the church and their mission outside the church.
The church aims to become and remain a Holy Spirit-led Pentecostal and multi-cultural church in the Kokomlemle community; a Christ-centred, Christ-propagating, preaching and practicing (holiness) Church.
We will be guided by honesty, respect, and transparency in all our dealings. In addition, we will strive to maintain the highest level of ethical values and seek to cure any breach of those values in a fitting manner, whilst we endeavour to be consistent in what we say and do.
In the spirit of excellence, we shall strive to do our utmost best for God through creativity and innovation in honour of His Holy Name.
We are willing to give our all, in service to Christ even at a cost of personal inconveniences.
By reason of the image of God in each of us and on the basis of His unmerited favour toward us, we are willing to respect all persons irrespective of their backgrounds and status in life.
The vision + mission + core values = church’s identity or personality.

The music ministry is a heartbeat of our worship. We aim to equip and uplift our musicians by nurturing their gifts, investing in quality equipment, fostering spiritual maturity, and providing regular encouragement to serve God excellently.
Prayer fuels our spiritual strength. Inspired by Jesus' example, we are building a dynamic prayer team dedicated to weekly intercession, Sunday morning prayers, and organizing prayer and fasting initiatives for the life of the church.
Discipleship is central to the church's mission. We focus on training committed teachers to guide believers of all ages and stages, ensuring rich and relevant biblical teaching through Sunday School and regular preaching.
Missions embody the heart of the Gospel. We empower our missions department to lead outreach, evangelism, member follow-ups, and impactful social programs to advance the Kingdom both locally and globally.

The Power of Prayer: A Journey to Divine Communion
Prayer is the gateway to divine communication, where we lay our burdens before God. As believers, it is essential to nurture a strong prayer life to build a deep relationship with our Creator. The Bible reminds us in James 5:16 that, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Through fervent prayer, we align our hearts with God's will, leading to transformation in our lives.
Faith in Action: Walking in the Footsteps of Christ
Faith is not merely belief; it is an action that reflects our trust in God’s promises. In Hebrews 11:1, we read, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." This sermon explores how true faith compels believers to act, serve, and make a difference in the world around them. It is through our actions that we manifest the power of God in our lives.
The Call to Discipleship: Embracing the Great Commission
The Great Commission is a clear mandate given to every believer. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus instructs His followers to "go and make disciples of all nations." Discipleship is not just about teaching; it is about living out the values of the Kingdom of God and helping others to grow in their faith. This sermon encourages believers to step out in boldness, following the example set by Christ in spreading the gospel.
