OUR FOUNDATION
Churches can be motivated by various factors, but for a church to be balanced and healthy, we believe it must be motivated and built around the five New Testament purposes given by Jesus. People’s Church’s five purposes of Worship, Evangelism, Fellowship, Discipleship and Ministry are based on two of Jesus’ most important commandments; the Great Commandment,
“Love God with all yo
ur heart and love your neighbour as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-40), and the Great Commission “Go make disciples… baptizing them… and teaching them to obey everything” (Mathew 28: 19 -20). By balancing these five purposes we are able to grow warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through worship, broader through ministry, and larger through evangelism. It is a local church of the Assemblies of God of Ceylon, Which is a Pentecostal denomination that came about as a result of the world-wide Pentecostal revival at the turn of the 20th century. Today, the Assemblies of God is represented in 134 countries around the world and has been active in Sri Lanka since 1920, as the Assemblies of God of Ceylon. It became an incorporated body recognized by an act of Parliament in 1947.
