PERSONAL STATEMENT OF SALVATION AND CALL TO MINISTRY
Affirming the pilgrimage bears witness of my Christian journey came as a result of my parents who raised me and taught me morals and value. My faith was demonstrated in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at an early age. Through various ministries, the connection with God led me to Bible College and Seminary Education. That profile allowed cognition on how to really trust God. Professing faith in Jesus Christ motivated me to become a volunteer to direct and tutor consistently. As my horizon is widened I expedite outreach services, I proclaim the message of Jesus Christ. I seize opportunities to effectively support others and remain sensitive to their anguish.

MINISTRY STATEMENT
As mentioned, a critical role in supporting the ministry is through Authentic Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, and Outreach Ministry.  My task involves renewing and restoring relationship with Jesus Christ every day; explicitly giving honor and praise to the Lord; Evangelize to the lost exalting Jesus Christ.  I proclaim the message of Jesus Christ.  Discipleship –Inspiring, equipping and encouraging saints through witness of evangelistic service that introduces the Lord Jesus Christ through the Word of God. 

DOCTORINAL BELIEF
I consider God created the world according to the Bible in Genesis.  I accept as true God to be the Father in Jesus Christ who was fully God, as in St. John l: l, “The Word was God”; That the Word is Christ confirmed in v. l4; I have trust in the Trinity, founded on the belief that there is one God composed of three distinct persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ his Son, and the Holy Spirit. I trust in the active presence of the Holy Spirit who effectively works in the lives of believers.  I understand there is only one way to Jesus Christ. He said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (St. John 14:6).  I deem Jesus to be the son (died, buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven), who came to offer eternal life to those who repent and believe and they obey his command that thou shall love the Lord thy God with all of the heart, soul, strength and mind.
