Testimonies

From our adult service

I am grateful to God for being part of this church since the very begining. There is love, laughter, food, fun and fellowship. Everytime we meet and praise God, its a celebration.

Personally I like to sing and praise God with my voice. It was nice to know Pastor Paul and his wife sister Rose. Come and be part of this incredible church family, only to be blessed 100fold!!

Church isn’t about where you meet, how often you meet or how many songs you sing. It’s about coming together as a family of believers in Christ and worshiping the God of the universe.
