Church of Amazing Grace International

We believe in the sovereignty of God, the authority of the Scripture, justification by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and in the priesthood of all believers. As a community of believers, we are called by God, shaped by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be a community of praise, love, and service. Our Christian theological beliefs follow reformed tradition and informed by the African philosophy of sharing and mutuality guided by the motto 'I am because we are.'

We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His death and resurrection. We believe in Jesus as the Son of God. He is the Savior of the world. Repentance and faith in Jesus Christ is the means by which we are forgiven our sins. We also believe in One God, who exists eternally in three personalities: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe the Church is the family of God that comprises those 'called out.' They are 'called out' from sinful lives into the pursuit of God's righteousness by faith in Jesus Christ. Hence, they are 'a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God.' The church refers to a community 'called to be saints' — a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a spiritual house.

We believe in Salvation through Grace. God has offered us salvation because He loves us. We know that we do not deserve such a great salvation. However, we also know that through Jesus, who was without sin, God redeemed us. The Bible declares, 'There is no salvation by anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people by which we must be saved' (Acts 4:12).

We believe that the church is called to serve God and his people. Ministry and service at CAGI is derived from the ministry of Jesus Christ, given by Him who came to minister and to give His life a ransom for many. We believe it is the duty and privilege of every member to realize one's adoption into the family of God and to rejoice in salvation through Jesus Christ.

We believe that evangelism means taking the Word of God to where the people are. God sent His only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit and now He sends us. We seek to reach the whole person with the whole gospel. Evangelism fulfills the great commission and announces redemption to every area of life — body and soul, mind and spirit, family and community.
