Our History

In the year 1982 as Pr. Jose Andrews kept on hearing in the news of the terror activities in the North of India, he could no longer resist the call of God in his life for the lost souls in the North of India. He sold every thing he had and prepared to move to the Punjab with his young wife and a 3 years old son. Life was tough and he was asked by his well-wishers to go back to his home town but in the midst of everything he planted another church. Today this church is the largest church in the city of Chandigarh, and is constantly working towards the uplifting of the poor and the downtrodden, supporting native missionaries around India and also blessing the street children.

Our Team

We have a Spirit filled and commited group of leaders in the various areas of our church activities. Moreover we are developing new leaders so that the work of God continue.

Statement of Faith

i.    The Bible: We believe in the divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures. That is infallible in its declaration, final in its authority, all-sufficient in, its provisions and comprehensive in its sufficiency (2Tim. 3:16; 2 Pe. 1:21).

ii.    The One True God: We believe in the existence of the One True God, Elohim, maker of the whole universe; indefinable, but revealed as Triune Godhead— Father, Son and Holy Spirit- Omniscient and Omnipresent (Gen. 1:1; Matt. 3:16-17; 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14). 

iii.    Man’s Depraved Nature: We believe that “all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God” and are subject to eternal punishment; and need repentance and regeneration (Gen. 3:1-19); Is. 53:6). 

iv.    The Saviour: We believe that man’s need of a Saviour has been met in the person of Jesus Christ, because of His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, resurrection and ascension; His abiding and second coming (Matt. 1:2; Jn. 4:42; Phil. 2:6-11).     

v.    Repentance, Justification, Sanctification: We believe that all men have to repent of and confess their sins before God, and believe in the vicarious death of Jesus Christ to be justified before God. We believe in the sanctification of the believer through the working of the Holy Spirit and in God’s gift of eternal life to the believer (Lk. 15:7; Ac. 2: 38; Rom. 4:25; 5:16; 1 Cor. 1:30; 1Thess 4: 3).

vi.    The Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper: We believe in the Sacrament of Baptism by immersion as a testimony of a convert who has attained a responsible age of about 15 years. (Infants and children are not baptized but are dedicated to the Lord). We believe in the participation in the Sacrament by members who are in full fellowship (Matt. 28:19-2-; Mk. 16:16; Lk. 22:19-20).

vii.    Baptism, Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit: We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with signs following; also in the operation of the gifts and the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers(Mk. 16:17; Ac. 2:4;  1 Cor.12:8-11; Gal. 5:23).

viii.    Next Life: We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved - they that are saved to the resurrection of life and the unsaved to the resurrection of damnation (Mk. 13: 26; Dan. 12:2; Jn. 5: 29; Ac. 1:11 10:42; Rom. 2:7-11; 6:23). 

ix.    Tithes and Offering: We believe in tithing and in the giving of free-will offerings towards the cause of carrying forward the Kingdom of God. We believe that God blesses a cheerful giver (Gen. 14:18-20; 10-22; Mal. 3:6-10; Matt. 23:23; Ac 20:35; 1 Cor. 16:1-3; 2 Cor. 9:1-9). 

x.    Divine Healing: We believe that the healing of sickness and disease is provided for God’s people in the atonement. The Church is, however, not opposed to soliciting the help of qualified medical practitioners (2 Kgs 20:20-22; Matt. 9:12; Lk. 10:34; Col. 4:14).
