Anointed Apostolic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ
(Isaiah 61:1)


Vision:

For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God (Rom. 3:23); Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (St John 14:12); Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15); Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (2 Cor. 5:17)

The Vision of the Anointed Apostolic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ is:

  • Reach the people of Croydon and afield with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
  • To be a leading Apostolic, Pentecostal Ministry which will help them to realise and experience the power of Jesus Christ through repentance of our sins and the acceptance of the promise of God; ‘that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life (St. John 3:16).
  • To develop a body of missionary minded believers to reach out to all members of the community.


    Mission Statement:

    The mission of the Anointed Apostolic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ is:

  • To glorify God and serve those in need.
  • To pray, preach, teach, and practice the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be a friendly, nurturing community that reaches out to all in love and servitude.
  • To experience God’s anointing power which will bring permanent change to our life situations.
  • To work with all people who feel they are excluded from everyday activities in society for whatever reason.
  • To help many young and mature people who are experiencing problems with drugs, alcohol, mental diagnosis, those whose minds are shackled by life’s problems, street workers, sickness in the body; whatever our issues are, Jesus loves us and wants to bring about change to our lives. We can become more than our current situations.
  • To be challenged to motivate, inspire, educate, support and encourage ministers and Christian workers in the body of Christ to evangelise in the community for Jesus Christ.
  • To be concerned about the spiritual and physical needs of the community.
  • To share our faith and beliefs with the unbelievers for the purpose of leading them into a relationship with Christ which will introduce them to the life changing power of the Holy Spirit.


    Motto

    Experience a new life through the cross at Calvary and the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the resurrected power of the Holy Spirit.

    Aim and Objective

The purpose of the Anointed Apostolic Church Ministry is to:

  • Work with people to bring about stability, confidence, self worth and value to fulfill our God given purpose upon earth.
  • Let God’s Anointing stretch and catapult us into His Divine order to affect the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • Win souls for Christ and change lives.

    We believe:

  • Salvation comes only through the Lord Jesus Christ who is the only begotten son of God.
    In the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
  • Repentance is required by God and is compulsory for the forgiveness of sins
    In water baptism by immersion (Act 2:38); and the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance it the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
  • The partaking of Holy Communion.
  • Holiness is God’s standard of living for all.
  • That a final judgment will take place and those who rejected Jesus Christ will be judged for their sins and cast out from the presence of God for all eternity.
