Statement of Purpose

We believe that God's purposes concerning man are: (1) to seek and to save that which is lost; (2) to be worshipped by man; and (3) to build a body of believers in the image of His Son.

That as a group of believers, called the church of the Lord  Jesus Christ, we enjoined to assemble ourselves for worship, fellowship, counsel and instruction in the Word of God.

As a local church, our aims are: (1) to be an agency of God to evangelise the world; (2) to be a corporate body in which man may worship God, and (3) to be a channel of God to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son.

This church, whose head is the Lord Jesus Christ, exists to emphasise by teaching and encouraging believers to be baptised in the Holy Spirit that enables them to evangelise in the power of the Spirit with accompanying supernatural signs. To set people free and “help build the old waste places, raise up the foundations of many generations, repairer of broken walls” (Isa. 58:12).  This is translated into practical helps to the community such as feeding program during evangelism, helping drug addicts recover and restore marriages through counselling, ministering to the sick at home and in hospital, and help homeless or run-away children get restored to their families.

The LOJ church being a full gospel, non-sectarian, non-denominational religious society whose purpose is neither to usurp authority over various local assemblies, nor to deprive them of their scriptural and local rights and privileges; but to recognise and promote scriptural methods and order of worship; and to disapprove unscriptural methods, doctrines and conduct endeavouring to keep the unity of faith.

Therefore, the basic modes of operations as a church are fourfold: (1) EVANGELISM. To preach the Gospel to all men everywhere in all means; (2) NURTURE. Teaching and equipping the believers to observe all Christ has commanded; (3) WORSHIP. To lead the believers to worship God in Spirit and in truth; and (4) CHURCH PLANTING. To establish indigenous reproducing churches as stated in the Great Commission.
