Whatever makes the Christian homes unholy is not godly. Christian homes must always be holy and should always project holiness and explore it every day.

Holiness environment is a holiness area separated for our convention, camp meeting and an area mapped out for special prayers, for devotion, for spiritual exercise and holiness quarter mapped out for the true seeking of God’s face, praying for restoration and a spiritual environment kept for prayers and reconciliation with God. It is a camp ground where the seekers shall go alone to seek God’s presence in order make peace with God and with man.

1. HOLINESS DOCTRINES

Our church doctrine is on holiness foundation. We preach and teach that a sinner needs repentance because he was born a sinner. Salvation is to be free from practical sins, while sanctification is to be free from inbred sin. Salvation is for sinners who repented and accept JESUS as their Lord and savior, while sanctification is for believer who opened their hearts for the Holy ghost to purify them and cleanse them.
