Public benefits

The main objective is to advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public. The Church came about as a result of a group of people who had commenced meeting together for worship, Bible study and fellowship. The basis of this faith is found in the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God through the Holy Spirit. The Church believes that

mission is the focal point of the Gospel and that mission should be a key element in the life of every Christian. As a consequence of this, the objectives of the Church also span the relief of poverty, sickness, hardship and distress. This is to the benefit of the inhabitants in the Armagh area of Northern Ireland primarily, and in any other part of the world as the Committee may think fit. The Church seeks to advance the Christian faith and promote Christianity in such ways and in such areas as the Committee may from time to time see fit. This will be brought about mainly, but not exclusively by, the provision of preaching, distribution of Christian literature and education of the people in the area; achieved through evangelism and the provision of biblically based teaching, discipleship training, meetings, Bible studies and social activities. Our aim and objective is to be a Christian church consisting of all the values and activities associated with a church according to the New Testament. We seek to uphold the Christian message and be a beacon of light in the community, providing help to those in need, both spiritually and materially, as the opportunities present themselves. This will done as long as the help coincides with true Christian values to bring about healing and transformation to the community.
