Our Core Values

Our life’s purpose is to be like Jesus Christ

Scripture references: Matt 18:2 -22; Phil 3:3, 10; Galatians 4:19

We love people unconditionally
Church is designed to be a love-filled environment, a place where people can come in and feel welcomed, loved and respected. We promote love in our midst by providing the right environment to share and experience the love of Christ.

Lost people matter to God; therefore, they matter to us
We are a chosen and appointed people responding to the command of Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to go into the entire world sharing the forgiveness and love of God. We are called to show people how to discover and experience the unique nature of God’s love and forgiveness for themselves.
Scripture references: Matt 28:18-20; Matt 18:12 -14; John 15:16; Luke 14:23

We promote Unity in the Church
Unity is our strength. We desire that unity be upheld in every facet of our Church. We work together with one vision and one purpose, submitting to God and the leadership of the Church.
Scripture references: Psalm 133; Ephesians 4:3; John 17:21-22

The strength of our society is based on the unit of the family
The Christian family is the foundation of our Church. We are committed to providing an environment that encourages and strengthens the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. We promote raising godly children through Christian parenting principles where love prevails in the home according to the word of God.
We encourage single adults to engage in holy and godly courtship leading to marriage. Marriage is for life and we do not subscribe to divorce. We encourage all families in our Church to grow and walk in the fear of God.
Scripture references: Matt 19:5-6; Heb. 13:4; Proverbs 22:6; 1 Corinthians 7

Accountability to God and to one another.
We are accountable to God and one another for our conduct. We value all resources (people, time, property, and money) entrusted to our care by God. We exhibit discipline and consistency in our walk with God and living by His Word.
Scripture references: Philippians 4:8 Proverbs 10:9; Eph 5:15-16; Matt 24:45-46; 1 Corinthians 4:1

The way to greatness is through service
We follow Christ’s path to greatness by serving one another and our community. Our ministries provide an avenue for everyone to serve and impact our community for Christ by their actions and contributions. We encourage everybody to make themselves available for service.
Scripture references: John 13:5-8; Matt 5:13; Matt 23:11; Luke 10:33-37

Equipping people for daily living
Jesus demonstrated the importance of equipping his followers through training for daily living and service to God. Likewise, we equip ourselves through constant training which covers life teachings and the doctrines of Christ such as Baptism and Repentance etc. The training we receive empowers us for daily living.
Scripture references: Deuteronomy 4:5; Proverbs 4:4-7; John 8:2; Ephesians 4:14

Excellence honours God and inspires people
The excellence of God’s character and handwork is reflected on how we run our church. We strive to have every aspect of ministry done to the best of our ability. We are determined to continuously raise the standard of excellence in our worship and service to God. As such, we constantly measure, evaluate, and review our effectiveness in every area of ministry.
We are committed to working together, using our unique gifts and abilities to accomplish what God has called us to do.
Scripture Reference: Gen 1:26, 31; Heb. 11:4, Ephesians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Creativity reflects God’s nature
Everyone has the creative ability of God within them and a unique purpose to fulfil on earth.
As a Church we provide an environment that motivates and challenges people to develop, nurture and promote their God-given abilities.
We challenge ourselves to think “out of the box” by continually reinventing ideas and programs so that we can be relevant to our generation. We ask the ‘Why’, ‘What’, ‘When’ and ‘How’ questions in whatever we do or promote as we refuse to be satisfied with the status quo.
Scripture References: Genesis 1:1, 27; Psalm 19:1-3; Exodus 31:3-5

Everyone deserves another chance
We recognize that we are ALL forgiven people and we are not perfect. Therefore, we are committed in love and humility to restore people who have backslidden or fallen into sin; leading them back to Christ as they acknowledge their wrongs, confess their faults and amend their ways. We constantly emphasize that God hates sin.
Scripture References: Galatians 6:1; Jude 1:22-23

Our beliefs are our foundation

What We Believe

It is with great joy that I welcome you to the information gateway of Faith Chapel, Crayford, Kent, United Kingdom.

Established in 2016, we are a growing church, and a mission of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)

This is what we believe:

The Bible is God's Word.

We believe that the Bible is “God’s Word”. The truths revealed in it did not have their origin with men, but with God. The Holy Spirit inspired the human authors of the Bible. We therefore believe that the bible is without error, completely true, relevant and an up-to-date book. We receive the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament as eternal, authoritative, coherent, complete and all sufficient, and the only infallible rule of faith. Its message is intended primarily for the human race. It is expressed in words and in terms, which human beings can understand. It’s central theme and purpose is the salvation of man.2 Timothy 3:16-172 Peter 1:20-21Psalm 12:6Matthew 24:35Psalm 119:160

Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ

Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He came to the world purposely to save sinners according to the scriptures. He has existed throughout eternity, one of the persons of the Holy Trinity. He is the Son, the only begotten Son of God and the beloved of God. His coming to the world had been foretold before He ever came in the flesh to die for us. He was born by Virgin Mary, conceived of the Holy Spirit, without sin. He lived a perfect life, preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, performed miracles, healed the sick and raised the dead. He voluntarily surrendered his life to his enemies to be crucified. He then resurrected, and ascended to heaven to become our high priest. Jesus Christ will return to establish the kingdom of God on earth, and rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with His saints forever.Matthew 17:15-17 John 1:1-14Acts 2:32-33 Hebrews 4:14-15Revelation 1:13:16 1 Peter 2:21-221 Peter 1:15 John 3:8-9Corinthians 10:13 Matthew 5:48

Sanctification

The word sanctification in the Greek language is “hagiasmos” meaning (1) to be apart from sin (2) consecrated unto God, to be conformed to His holiness, purity, and perfection of character. The scripture teaches that “sanctified” is what the believer is not a process, but a state, which the believer has already entered into once and for all. Acts 20:32; Romans 15:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 10:10-14; Ephesians 5:25-26; 1 Peter 1:2; Acts 26:18, and “perfect” is what he is expected to be. Perfection is a spiritual growth for those who have been sanctified and consecrated. Therefore, it is the total yielding of one’s life to the Holy Spirit, living the crucified life; being an overcomer; and being conformed to the image of Christ Himself. Perfection and true holiness are impossible without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. All attempts at achieving perfection without the Holy Spirit generally results in frustration and failure, inasmuch as “flesh”cannot crucify flesh.1 Peter 2:21-22 1 Peter 1:15John 3:8-9 Corinthians 10:13Matthew 5:48

Divine Trinity

We believe in the Divine Trinity. One Triune God exists in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – eternal in being, identical in nature, equal in power and glory and having the same attributes and perfectionsMatthew 3:16-172 Corinthians 13:14Hebrews 9:141 Peter 1:21 John 5:7

Water Baptism

Believing in Christ produces an inward change in our heart; baptism in water is an outward act of obedience, by which we testify of the change that has taken place in our hearts. By this act, we make ourselves one with Christ in His burial and in His resurrection; we are separated from the old life of sin and defeat; we come out of the water to lead a new life of righteousness and victory, made possible by God’s power in us.Mark 16:16 Matt 28:19-20 Acts 2:38-41 Acts 8:37-39 Romans 6:4

The Lord’s Supper

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements – bread and the fruit of the vine is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a memorial of His suffering, death and a prophecy of His second coming. Jesus Christ commanded the church to do it in His remembrance. The bible record also shows the early church took this commandment seriously.Luke 22: 14-19 Acts 2: 42, 462 Peter 1:4 1 Corinthians 11:26

Fall of Man

Man (Adam) was created in the image of God before whom he walked in innocence, holiness, and purity, but by voluntary disobedience and transgression, he fell from the glory of God to the depths of sin. The consequence of this is that all mankind became sinners by nature having been born after the fallen image of Adam. In his fallen state man is incapable of pleasing God or having any relationship with Him. Every man is totally inclined to evil, guilt and without excuse, deserving the condemnation and judgment of a just and Holy God.Genesis 1:26-31 Genesis 2:7Psalm 139:14 Col. 1:16Psalm 51:5 Mark 1:15

Salvation

Sin is an inward spiritual attitude of rebellion towards God, which is expressed in outward acts of disobedience. Man, in his fallen state cannot approach God or save himself and therefore needs a saviour. Jesus Christ came to save us from our sins. Himself without sin, He took our sins upon Him, died in our place, and rose again from the dead, that we might be forgiven and receive eternal life. The word salvation in the Greek means “soteria” which is translated “saving” or “deliverance” and preservation from destruction and judgment. To appropriate salvation, we must acknowledge our sins and repent from them; we must believe that Christ died for us, and rose again; we must receive the risen Christ as our personal Saviour, and we must publicly confess Him as our Lord.Hebrews 9:29 Romans 3:10, 23Acts 3:19 Romans 10:8-13 Jude 3:24

Baptism of The Holy Spirit

The baptism in the Holy Ghost is a supernatural enduement with power from heaven to equip the Christian for effective witness and service. The initial evidence of Holy Spirit Baptism is speaking in unknown tongue as the spirit give utterance. The unknown tongue is a prayer language given to the believer, understood by God but unknown to man. It enables the Christian to build up his own spiritual life by direct and continual communion with God, and is the gateway into a life in which both the gifts and fruits of the Holy Ghost should be manifested. In the New Testament church, this experience was considered normal for all believers.Joel 2:28 Luke 3:16 Acts 2:38-39Acts 19:2 Mark 16:17

Divine Healing

Sickness is a direct consequence of the fall of man and his continuance in sin. Redemption not only dealt with sin but also its consequences, which includes sickness and diseases. Christ died on the cross; bore not only our sins, but also our sicknesses. Healing for our bodies from God comes to us through appropriation of the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary by faith in the word of God and manifestation of the gift of healing. Not only believers receive healing for our bodies, but also, we may minister healing and deliverance to others in the name of Jesus. This can be accomplished by laying on of hands, praying for others in absentia and by getting bible believing church elders to anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.Luke 13:11,16 James 2 Corinthians 1:19-20 1 John 3:8Mark 16:17-18

Restitution

Restitution is the act of restoring anything to its rightful owner; act of giving an equivalent for loss or damage. Restitution makes a person pay back just debts, restore stolen or misappropriated articles, uncover his crimes and confess his lies. This is to be done whether the person injured knew it or not – God knows.Genesis 20:1-18 Genesis 32:9-32Luke 19:8-10 Philemon 7:21 Acts 24:16Note: Restitution that would implicate others or bring injury or harm to others, needs care and God’s wisdom.In such cases, it is necessary to seek counselling from a faithful, experienced, competent, matured Christian teacher and preacher (who, of course, believes and teaches “the whole counsel of God”).

Rapture of The Church

The rapture describes an event in the future when Jesus Christ will in the twinkling of an eye, change all believers (living and dead) to immortal, giving them a resurrected body, and catching them up to meet the Lord in the air. The word rapture simply means sudden snatching out of this world of the believers. The actual word used in the bible is “caught up”. This event marks the beginning of the seven years reign of Antichrist.1 Thessalonians 4: 13-181 Corinthians 15:23, 51-58Phil 3:2-211 John 3:1-3Luke 21:31-35

The Great Tribulation

This is a seven-year span of future world history of the reign of antichrist following immediately after the rapture: It will be the darkest time the world has ever known. It is “the day of vengeance of our Lord.” Man’s cup of iniquity is filled to overflowing, and God brings judgment upon the earth for man’s rejection of His son. During this period, the people of Israel will turn to Christ, when they will be reconciled to God through Him whom they rejected and whom they asked Pilate to crucify.Daniel 9:24-27Isaiah 61:2Revelation 191 Thessalonians 1:10Revelation 3:10

The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ

The millennial age is period of one thousand years, in which the purpose of God is fully realized on the earth. It will be a time of theocratic kingdom. This period will come after the seven years reign of antichrist. After the Lord Jesus Christ has descended from heaven to earth and destroyed his enemies at the battle of Armageddon, He will set up His holy government which is going to be worldwide. It will be a time of peace, joy, holiness, glory, comfort, justice, full knowledge, the removal of curse and sickness.Isaiah 11:1-10 Isaiah 35:1-10Zechariah 9:9-10 Zechariah 14:16-17Revelation 20:1-15

The Judgment Seat of Christ

The judgment seat of Christ is the judgment of believers. It is not a judgment of condemnation but a judgment of reward where believers will be rewarded according to our faithfulness in our service to God, quality of our Christian walk and the use of our God-given gifts and talents.Romans 14:10II Corinthians 5: 10I Peter 4: 17

The Eternal Heaven

The present earth that is so marred and cursed by Satan’s evil will pass away after the Great White Throne Judgment. After the dissolution of the present (atmospheric) heaven and earth at the end of the one thousand years (the millennium), God will create a new heaven and a new earth better than anything this world has ever known. The new earth will be the Christian heaven. It is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers.Matthew 24:35 Revelation 21:1-5John 14:1-3 Revelation 22:1-52 Peter 3:10

The Eternal Lake of Fire

The lake of fire (commonly called hell) is the final abode of Satan and those sinners who reject Jesus as their Lord and saviour. Hell is the place of eternal torment for the devil, his angels and all those who reject Christ as the saviour.Revelations 19: 7Luke 16:19-31Revelations 20:10,15Matthew 25:33-34John 14:1-3Rev 7:15-17
