About us
One family, rooted in the Word since 1980.
We are a congregation of God’s people in Festac Town, worshipping according to the New Testament pattern, living by God’s Word and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
What we believe
Built on the Bible alone
Christ is the only Head of the Church
Colossians 1:18Jesus Christ is the head of the body, the church. We look to Him alone for direction in what we believe and how we worship.
The Bible is the only doctrine
2 Timothy 3:16All Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching. We hold the Bible as our only guide for faith and practice.
We speak where the Bible speaks, and remain silent where the Bible is silent.
1 Peter 4:11Whoever speaks should speak as the oracles of God. We seek Bible authority for everything we teach and practise.
Why we gather
