Make Us Your Home

To make His Church your home, it's pretty simple. We would love to get to know you better and spend some time with you as an individual. We do a membership course called "Heaven on Earth" 4 times a year, which explains who we are and what we believe. At this short course we have two teachings, with dinner and coffee in the break, and spend time speaking to you about you and about us!

This all happens between 6 and 8pm, from a Monday to a Thursday, four times a year. Please listen out on Sundays when we will announce the date of the next course. We are looking forward to meeting with you!

Our Vision

At His Church, we want to see people of all colours, ages and genders coming together for the same reason and purpose, which is to bring change to our communities through Jesus Christ. We are on a mission to use our gifts in business, education, sports, the arts and media and every other God-given capability to increase the Kingdom of God, in every sphere of life. At His Church, worship and the Word are two of our main focal points as we strongly believe that through these mediums, change will come which will affect people's lives eternally. In short, our purpose is to know Him, our goal is to please Him, and our focus is eternity.

 

 

 

 

What Do We Believe

We believe that serving God as Christians is the most fulfilling and exciting thing any person can do. Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross to save us from our sins, because every person alive needs a Savior. He sent the Holy Spirit to transform our lives so that no matter what our previous lives entailed, He will heal and restore us, and give us a second chance at life. That is what being born again means. We praise and worship Him exuberantly because we know Him personally and believe He can change anyone's life by the power of His word.

How Do We Handle Money

Jesus took money very seriously and so do we! We at His Church make sure that we are audited annually by a reputable accounting firm. We are a public benefit organization, and all the money decisions are run through a finance board. Being good stewards is at the top of our priority list, and we have a whole lot of legal regulations in place to make sure that everything happens in the right way.
