MINISTRY

We believe in the personal and spiritual growth of every believer. It is our mission to have every believer be discipled, and empowered to disciple others. To us, discipleship means ‘Loving God by fully obeying Him.’ This entails getting to know Him through His word, and choosing to live according to it. Participation in our Life Classes is crucial to the fulfilment of this purpose. Talk to Pastor Chrisso Handy or Pastor Lucky Anthony at chrisso.h@peopleschurch.lk for more information.
