Worship God
We choose to never be silent, but continuously offer a sacrifice of worship to God. It is the reason for our very existence and the satisfaction of our souls.
"Sing to the Lord all the earth. Proclaim his salvation day after day." 1 Chronicles 16:23
Reach the Lost
The opportunity to reach millions of souls who have not heard the gospel of Jesus Christ is a tremendous responsibility, challenge and blessing. We practice global evangelism with the goal of winning our world for Jesus Christ. We seek the lost by equipping members for personal evangelism and creating outreach ministries. We communicate the gospel throughout the world through various broadcasting media, church planting, door-to-door evangelism, preaching points etc.
Disciple Believers
We are committed to obeying the Great Commission in which the Lord commands us to not only reach out to the unsaved but to also disciple those who believe in him as their savior. In URFIC, we let all our new comers and newly born again believers go through our discipleship classes called "FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE". We also provide other avenues for spiritual growth, maturity, a life of faith and service. These include home cells, school of the Word and Christian education classes.
Prayer
We are committed to maintaining a culture of prayer. It is our means of communing with God and exercising our spiritual dominion. We gather corporately every Monday evening to intercede for the church, our surrounding communities, and the nation.
Equip Members for Ministry
We believe the Lord Jesus has blessed His church with men-gifts who have been mandated to equip our members "...for the work of the ministry and the edifying of the body of Christ" (Eph 4:11-12). The ministerial team fulfills this task by helping members to identify and utilize their God-given gifts, counseling and teaching. We also have in place a deliberate leadership development program for our up and coming leaders.
Celebrate our Unity
Motivated by Eph 4:4-6 "There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called - one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all", we celebrate our unity in Christ without despising our diversity. In fact, we embrace, celebrate our racial diversity and treat one another with dignity and respect. This is especially important given the fact that URFIC is a multicultural church family.
Live out the love of Jesus Christ
The love of Christ compels us to be active in our community and to spread that love to those we meet. We demonstrate the tangible love of Christ in our communities, nurture, heal and strengthen families. We also provide for those who need shelter, food, and medicine as much as lies within our power. Moreover, we help care for children, the poor, the imprisoned, the physically and mentally challenged, the oppressed while praying for those in need of divine healing.
