About The Church of the Living God (FGM)

OUR VISION
Since its inception in 1983, The Church of the Living God (CLG) has had the Vision of reaching cities and nations with the Good News of the Gospel: “Rescuing the Perishing, Caring for the Dying.”

WHY THIS VISION
In 1982 the Lord said to Evangelist Stephen K. Gyermeh the founder of CLG, “Postpone all of your scheduled meetings and wait on me for further directions”. At the end of 21 days of waiting upon the Lord in prayer and fasting, Pastor Gyermeh saw himself in a vision, walking with Jesus and the disciples. Jesus led them to the middle of the sea. All around them there were thousands of drowning people struggling to swim to safety. Jesus then declared: “All these are my people perishing, but they don’t know what to do to save themselves. Go and show them how it’s done…”

TENETS OF FAITH
It is essential that we all speak the same thing, and being persuaded that the following Tenets of Faith are consistent with Biblical truth, we do hereby set them forth as a declaration of those things which are most assuredly believed among us.

The Holy Scriptures:We believe the Bible to be the inspired and the only infallible and authoritative Word of God.

The Trinity:We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Deity of Christ: We believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in His virgin birth. We believe in His sinless life. We believe in His miracles. We believe in His vicarious and atoning death. We believe in His bodily resurrection. We believe in His ascension to the right hand of the Father. We believe in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years.

Salvation:We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is repentance from sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His shed blood. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation. We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life.

Divine Healing:We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit:
We believe that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask for it.

Heaven and Hell:
We believe in the resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
