Mission Statement

Many times, people are not able to accomplish the work of God because they have no clear direction or vision. If we speak the same things, have the same mind and stand together with the same judgment, then we can accomplish the vision of teaching this community and the body of Christ to observe and to do all that the Lord has commanded to do through the Word of God because faith sees what it says, faith looks beyond the mountain and faith causes the eyes of understanding to be enlighten. The purpose of Eye of Faith Christian Fellowship is to teach this community and the body of Christ how to look through the eyes of faith to accomplish God’s will for their live according to the Word of God.

Purpose

The goal/objective of Eye of Faith Christian Fellowship is to teach the community and the body of Christ to look beyond drug, alcohol, premarital sex, teenage pregnancy, abuse, marital problems, peer pressure, low self esteem etc. by faith to a delivered, developed and victorious life through the Word of God. To teach and preach the importance of a spirit-filled life, discipleship, willingness and obedience to Christ and to allow the anointing of God to flow and operate to accomplish God’s will. To look not at the things that are seen but the things that are unseen; bless marriage, bless family, bless Church, bless job etc.
