CHRIST POWER

 

Introduction:

 

To give a clear direction to Leaders, Ministers and workers and the Members of Christ Power Christian Centre Inc.It is vital to put in writing the basic beliefs of the church, which things are hereby called “the tenets of Faith”.

 

The study and understanding of these eighteen (20) basic truths will:

 

Give focus to the Church Members.

Remove doubts from the mind of the Members as to the doctrinal teachings of the Church.

Help Members avoid the errors that have creeped into the 20th Century where the basic Christian doctrines have been diluted, watered down and even set aside by the apostles of the new church modernization.

Create a distinctive character for the Church, glorifying God in all things.

We urge every member of this Church to listen, study, participate and meditate over these great truths upon which The Christ Power Christian Centre is built as a Church.
