We gather with grateful hearts to celebrate a significant milestone in the life of our church-40 years of grace, 40 years of faithfulness, 40 years of God's covenant. This milestone is not merely a commemoration of time, but a testimony to the unchanging character of our God, who has built His church and sustained it through every season.
As Rev. Erwin Jayoma so powerfully reminded us: โThe church is not just a buildingโit is a divine establishment. God is the architect, Jesus is the foundation, and the Holy Spirit empowers it. This church exists today because of God's unshakable promise and power.โ
And indeed, it does.
From the very beginning, God has been the master builder of this house. Through storms and sunshine, through trials and triumphs, He has proven that His Word stands firm. His covenant remains unbroken, His presence remains with us, and His purpose for this church continues to unfold.
We honor the faithful leaders, elders, and church workers who have walked this journey for four decades. Your devotion has been a reflection of Christโs loveโsteadfast, sacrificial, and enduring. You have prayed, served, led, and builtโnot for applause, but for Godโs glory.
You are the living stones of this church, fitted together by the hand of God Himself.
Let us look back with gratitude and look ahead with hope. The same God who called us, carried us, and covered us for the past 40 years will surely complete what He started.
To God be all the glory for building His church!
All praise to Jesus, the firm foundation.
All honor to the Holy Spirit, our strength and guide.
Happy 40th Anniversary, CCMC-OBCI!
