CEPC
- Doctrine-
THE BIBLE
CEPC believes that the Bible is God’s word,
that it was written by men divinely inspired and that it is supreme
infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Custom
or man’s tradition or opinion should not be contrary to the
spirit and teaching of scripture. (II Timothy 3:16)
THE TRINITY
CEPC believes in one God, eternally existent in
three persons; Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. (I Timothy 1:17,
John 1:14, 4:24)
a) CEPC believes in one God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite
in wisdom, measureless in power. We rejoice that he hears and answers
prayers and that he saves from sin all that come to Him through
Jesus Christ. Leviticus 11:44, Psalms 39, 50:1)
b) CEPC believes in Jesus Christ, the eternal and only begotten
Son of God conceived of the Holy Spirit of Virgin birth, sinless
in his life, making atonement for the sins of the world by his death
on the cross. His present mediation work and his visible personal
return to the world (John 3:16, Luke 31-32, John 1:14, Acts 8:37,
John 14:3)
c) CEPC believes in the person of the Holy Spirit, whose ministry
is to glorify Christ to convict the world of sin and to regenerate,
indwell, sanctify, comfort and empower those who believe in Christ
(John 6:63, 15:26, 16:7-14, 5:1, Romans 8:9, 13:16, I peter 1:12,
I Corinthians 12:7-11)
SALVATION AND FORGIVENESS
CEPC believes that all men by nature and by choice
are lost sinners and can only be saved by accepting Christ as Lord
and Savior, through faith apart from works. We believe in the body
resurrection from the dead, of the believer to everlasting life
and blessedness and joy with the Lord in Heaven and of the unbeliever
to everlasting punishment and separation from God in Hell. (John
3:16, Romans 5:8-12, John 17:3, Ephesians 2:1-9, Revelations 20:11-15,
John 5:28-29) We believe that sinners should repent their sins and
receive a free gift of salvation, which is given freely through
faith.
PERSON
CEPC disregards the philosophy that says man was
not created by God. We honour God as the creator and that is why
all men must worship him
SATAN
CEPC believe that Satan has been thrown here in
the world to reign or dominate the world for sometime to wait for
the judgment
CHURCH
CEPC accepts that the church is the body of Jesus
Christ. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church and savior of all
who believes in him. The work of the church is to make disciples
of all nations. (l cor. 12;12, Eph 4;1-6, Math28;19 and acts 2;14-42)
BAPTISM
CEPC accepts baptism in much water and the Holy
Spirit
RESOURCES
a) Contributions of members
b) Tithe and offering
c) Donations and other kinds of financial support
from charities, Foundations and Governments
NB: All monies are kept in the Bank and the Legal

MOTHERS
CEPC recognizes mothers and they are involved in
all ministry activities. In every departments there mothers and
fathers from bottom up
CHILDREN
CEPC prepares children as the church of today not
the church of tomorrow as people say. We have some projects for
the children. CEPC has a plan to build centers for children like
where to sleep, where to study from, and to get health care and
different games and put the project to feed all the centers and
children. Children have ability to bring the gospel in the way of
preaching, teaching and songs.
