About Us

The name of the church shall be Ever-increasing Faith Church Incorporated.

Ever-increasing Faith Church (the church) is hereby constituted as a religious institution being voluntary association existing as an entity distinct from its members. The church will have perpetual succession and will be a separate juristic person having its own legal personality as an Universities personarum according to the common law of the Republic it is situated in. This deed records the constitution of the church containing its objects, internal organization and doctrine, and replaces all other constitutions of the church.

The Ever-increasing Faith Church incorporation is hereby constituted as the evangelistic, institution of learning, health, television and radio broadcasting and charitable arm of the church and falls under the same constitution as the church.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons (the Godhead) Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified, died, buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the Father’s right hand.

We believe in the Holy Scriptures of the old and new testaments, in their original writing, by men fully inspired by God, and accept them as supreme and the final authority for faith, life and practice.

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal salvation of the saved, and the eternal damnation of the lost. We believe in personal salvation of believers by confession through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

We believe in sanctification through the Word of God by the Holy Spirit, and in holiness as manifested by proper conduct and attitude of heart.

We believe in divine healing through faith in the name of Jesus Christ and that healing is included in the redemption of man.

We also believe in the ministries of deliverance, reconciliation, and restoration.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed two ordinances – baptism in water after the new birth /born again experience and the Lords Supper to be observed as acts of obedience as perpetual witnesses to the cardinal facts of the Christian Faith.

Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as an outward confession of identification with Christ in burial and resurrection, While the Lords supper is the partaking of the broken body and drinking of His shed blood of the our Lord and Savior Jesus, in remembrance of His sacrificial death until He comes.

We believe in prayer as a primary means of speaking to and hearing from God, and that a personal prayer language is birthed in the Spirit of every believer who desires it for personal edification, and as help from the Holy Spirit who prays on our behalf for that which we do not know towards our benefit.

We believe in the Scriptural pattern of church government through the ministries of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers and in God’s plan for spiritual authority within the church.

We believe in actively doing the work of evangelism and missions in accordance with the Great Commission as commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the rapture of the church globally in a twinkle of an eye and the literal Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to gather His prepared church to be with Him forever.

With regards to sexual behavior, we believe in heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony. Adherence to this stated principle of sexual behavior is an inherent requirement of membership of Ever-increasing Faith Churches worldwide.

Principle of Autonomy

As Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church universal, and the Head of every local body of believers, this congregation has a primary responsibility to Jesus, who is the Shepherd and Bishop of our Souls.

We hold as Scriptural and fundamental the principle that Christ has ordained local church government by qualified men called Elders in conjunction with Deacons meeting the standards set forth in the Scriptures and evidencing the call of God in their lives. As this congregation is sovereign under Christ’s Headship, and all ecclesiastical power is exercised by the Elders, Deacons, and congregation, all decisions made shall not be subject to change or reversal by any other ecclesiastical body.  This local church is autonomous, but advice and council from qualified ministers of other churches and ministries of like principles and faith may be sought.
