We welcome visitors at the Olive Christian Centre and would love to have you join us in church this weekend.
Our Beliefs
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Holy Scriptures which is called the Bible is made up of the Old and New Testaments inspired by God for a complete revelation of God’s will and for the salvation of mankind.
2 Tim. 3:16-17
Vision For Impact
We believe that vision is a must for any individual that must be successful in Christ Jesus without it a man is doomed because God created everyman with vision and a purpose. Vision is therefore the unfolding of Gods plan for man’s life. The successful discovery and pursuit of this purpose will positioned everyman on the path of success in life.
Jeremiah 1:5, Prov. 29:18
Prayer
We believe prayer is the art of communing with God, and the best way to pray is according to God’s will as revealed in His word and by the Holy Spirit and praying with other tongues (with our spirit) as the Holy Spirit inspires us. We pray for one another, for the body of Christ and for the purpose of God for our individual lives, families, communities and nation.
Mathew 7:7-8; 1Thessalonians 5:17; 1 John 5:14
Faith
Faith is the key to everything in God’s kingdom. It is the gateway to a world of triumph. All that Jesus has provided for us in redemption is only obtainable by faith. He said the just shall live by faith.
Hebrew 10:38, 11:1-40
God’s Love And Salvation
We believe that all people have sinned and come short of the glory of God and God has demonstrated His unconditional love towards mankind by sending His Son Christ Jesus in the form of a human being to die in our place even while we were still sinners and did not know we needed a savior. God is not angry with us and He loves us unconditionally. Salvation is a necessity for any man and being born again is when we believe in our heart the gospel of Christ Jesus and confess with our mouth Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. Therefore new birth is the basis for which a person is adopted into the spiritual family of God and becomes a child of God.
Once a person is born again, they become a brand new person in their spirit – not in their physical appearance or in their way of thinking. The Holy Spirit takes away the old spiritual nature that was dominated by sin and creates a new and righteous spirit in the individual.
John 3:16, John 1:12; Romans 10:10, 17; 1 John 3:2; 2 Corinthians 5:17
Romans 5:18
The Good News
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He died for our sins and He resurrected on the third day to secure our justification (to be declared righteous) and to deliver us from the power of the devil. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God (the place of authority) the Father and by our identification with Him, we are seated with Him in His place of authority.
Matthew 1:18–23; Matthew 25:11–26, Romans 4:25; Ephesians 2:6
Water Baptism And HolyGhost Baptism
Baptism by immersion in water is a direct commandment of our lord, and it is for believers only. It is a symbol of the believer’s identification with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection. However, baptism by Holy Ghost and fire is a gift by God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers. It is an experience accompanied by speaking in other tongues.
Mathew 28:19, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4
Resurrection, hell and eternal retribution
Resurrection is the bodily rising of the dead in Christ to everlasting joy with the Lord and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ while Hell is the place for those who physically dies in their sins without accepting Jesus Christ. It is a place of torment and endless punishment prepared for Satan but those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ will go there too.
Acts 1:10-11 Revelation 19:20
Your were meant to enjoy a life free in Christ.
Take your first step towards it.
We exist to bring God’s freedom to everyone. We love to care for people who have been hurt. This is our mandate.
