The Christian Prayer Fellowship

About

The Christian Prayer fellowship is as an Independent organization formed in the year 1984.

Called by the Grace of God, created anew, our goal is to rise above ourselves, heed to the Divine Nature and live as disciples of Christ emitting the fragrance in our community.

We gather to worship and to preserve the unity of the fellowship by the Holy Spirit. As the Love of God constraineth us, we intercede and extend our arm to build the lives of others who are outside the fold. Equipping the saints for the work of service, we are privileged to carry on the mission of Jesus Christ.

It is by the Grace of God, we as The Christian Prayer Fellowship live and move and have our being.

Our Mission Values

Our Mission Values

The Bible: We believe the Bible as the written record of His supernatural revelation, absolute in its authority for doctrine and practice. 2 Tim3:16, 2 Pet.1:20-21, Jn.10:35, Heb:3:12,13.

God: We believe that there is One God who eternally exists in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. – Deut:6:4., Is.9:6, Jn.1:1-3, Is.48:16, Acts 5:3-4.

Sin: We believe that all men, beginning with Adam have rebelled, sinned against God and are eternally marred by sin and its consequences. Mankind is incapable of pleasing or having a living relationship with God without having a Supernatural spiritual rebirth. Jn.3:7,18, Rom.2:4-6,11-15.

Salvation: We believe that in order to be born again, one must respond to the Holy Spirit’s conviction by repenting of and turning away from sin, by faith receiving the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the Cross as  being sufficient basis for God’s forgiveness, and must surrender his or her life to Christ. Rom.3:21,22, Lk.18:13, Eph.2:8,9, 14-18, 1Jn.5:9-13.

Holy Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all believers and through the filling and anointing of the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered to live Christ – like life and service. Act.1:8, Eph.5:18, Gal.5:22,23, 1Cor:13

Church: We believe that God intends for believers to unite together in local churches to worship, observe ordinances of Baptism and Lord’s Supper, be accountable to one another, be instructed in the faith by Pastors and Elders, serve the spiritual and temporal needs of the community. Mt.28:19,20, Heb.10:22-25, Eph.4:11,12

Family: We believe that family is the primary institution God uses to promote social order and structure and is to be respected, protected and strengthened by the Church. Eph :5:22-25.

Life – Style: We believe that believers are to be baptized, attend Church, pray, study the Bible, give tithes and offerings and share their faith with those who do not know the Lord. Act.2:42, Act.5:42, 1Cor.3:11-17
