The People
At Christian Outreach Centre you will find liberty. You will find people
who are committed to love God and to love people. Those who attend Christian
Outreach Centre find freedom, not only to be themselves, but also to let
God be GOD in every aspect of their lives.
The Lord
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is our Lord and Saviour and we worship Him
in spirit and truth. He's alive and He's awesome! It is our desire to
serve Him will all our might. We are not special people, only people who
love a special God. The God we serve has an incredible love for every
person on Planet Earth and it is His sacrificial love for every person
that is our inspiration and pattern for living.
God The
Holy Spirit
With our desire to give God our best, comes excitement and exuberance.
In our church meetings we are eager to allow the Holy Spirit to meet people
wherever they may be in life. Some may call us radical. However, we believe
that the mighty Holy Spirit is present in the world and in the hearts
of born-again believers, having been sent by Jesus Christ Himself. Because
of this, church is the most exciting place in town!
The Holy
Spirit, is a person, and is here to heal the sick, free those who are
oppressed, and bring salvation to the lost. It is through His power, and
a continuing personal relationship with God the Father and other believers,
that people reach their true and greatest potential in life.
The Bible
Christian Outreach Centre holds the Bible, and the Bible alone, to be
the literal inspired Word of God. It is our text book to life itself,
and inspires an unshakable faith in a God who never leaves or forsakes
us.
The Vision
Until Jesus Returns, the vision of Christian Outreach Centre is to play
an active part in reaching our world for Christ. As our name suggests,
we are committed to taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the four corners
of the earth, starting in our neighbourhoods, towns and cities.
The Church
Christian Outreach Centre is one body of people, meeting in many different
geographical locations. We do not believe we are the only true church,
but part of the body of Christians from so many denominations who belong
to Jesus Christ.
The Enemy
Our only enemy is the devil, sin and hypocrisy.
We hate sin
because it separates people from God. It is only through the blood of
Jesus Christ and the power of God that this can be dealt with in an individual's
life.
Hypocrisy
is the act of professing beliefs contrary to one's character. God has
called us to be people of integrity and we believe that by the grace of
God, we can live a blameless life.
Sin and hypocrisy
originated from the devil. The Bible says, "...but the Son of God
came to destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8). This is good
news!
Who can
come to a Christian Outreach Centre?
In a word- anyone! You, your family, your friends, your enemies, anyone
is welcome at a Christian Outreach Centre. People of different occupations,
race, colour and creed find a spiritual home at our churches. We believe
there are no barriers which cannot be bridged through the love of God.
Your life
could be forever changed when you attend a Christian Outreach Centre.
