MISSION AND VISION

EACOG has a mandate to see people save and help them develop a relationship with Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in the fullness of God and walk in the freedom of His Son Jesus Christ.

EACOG Mission Statement: REACHING the lost- EQUIPPING and EMPOWERING church members to live out God’s intentions through EDUCATION to fulfill the call to EXCEL.

Reach: evangelize near and far to find lost souls for the Kingdom of God

Empower: Empowered by the Holy Spirit
We believe all Christians can be spirit filled and spirit led. “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:13 (NIV)

Educate: EACOG believes that a proper education is needed to succeed not only in the physical world, but the spiritual world as well. Our program-based ministries focus on educating God’s chosen people with the inerrant, uncompromising word of God.

Excel: We believe as God’s children, we ought to excel in everything.

  • We will excel in faith
  • We will excel in speech
  • We will excel in knowledge
  • We will excel in love and
  • We will excel in giving

We will be a church equipped, empowered, educated to excel in the fullness of God.

To do so, we will focus on the following areas.

PRAYER

For mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people’ (Isaiah 56:7), says our God

The life of the church is the highest life, and its office is to pray. Its prayer life is the highest life, the most fragrant, the most conspicuous. When God’s house on the earth is a house of prayer, then God’s house in heaven is busy and powerful in its plans and movements. We will make our church a house of prayer by doing the following:

  • Make prayer a priority
  • Expect God to work uniquely in our community, our city and our state
  • Establish small groups amongst church members to intercede on a weekly basis on behalf of the church and its community

STUDY SCRIPTURE

As a church, we understand Bible study is the backbone of the body of Christ. Hence, we will continuously read and study the Word of God while doing the following:

  • Expand our weekly Bible study
  • Use social media to stay connected in the word as a church
  • Develop small groups to do follow-ups and keep each other accountable
  • Develop a set of topics every 3 months to teach

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

We commit ourselves to identifying and developing individuals whom God has called and given leadership gifts and challenging them to become servant-leaders. We will demonstrate our commitment by:

  • Creating an environment in which men and women with ministry gifts are developed to serve as servant-leaders.
  • Equipping, empowering and releasing lay leaders to serve as ministry partners both inside and outside the local church.
  • Providing relevant resources and training opportunities for both clergy and laity.
  • Encouraging pastors to lead through vision, to communicate the vision to the congregation and to organize the body and each of its ministry groups so the vision can be realized. (Mark 3:13-15; 2 Tim. 2:2; 2:15; 3:14-17; Eph. 4:11-13)

CARE

We commit ourselves to the challenge of being a church that genuinely cares for one another and for those who are lost, hurting and needy. We will demonstrate our commitment by:

  • Building loving, caring relationships within families, between members, and within the communities we serve.
  • Obeying the Care Commission of Christ in Matthew 25.
  • Cultivating compassion and showing mercy to the unloved, the undesirable and the unreached of our society
  • Establishing in each local church some type of outreach ministry that demonstrates our genuine concern and love for the disadvantaged or oppressed. (Psa. 86:15; Mat. 25; Luke 6:36; Acts 20:28)
