Values, Manifesto & Beliefs.
What governs us, what we stand for, and what we believe as Rig Church Lagos.
The Rig Africa culture code.
Three values govern how we live, serve, and grow as a community.
Personal Evangelism
Every believer is responsible for winning souls and positively influencing their sphere for Christ.
Operating in Power
The community regularly experiences God’s manifest power and remains God-sensitive.
Caring Extremely
Genuine care is shown to individuals, especially newcomers, ensuring they feel welcomed and valued until fully integrated.
This is who we are.
We are Issachar’s Generation, awake in an hour that demands understanding of the times and the courage to know what must be done.
We do not chase noise. We listen for the voice of the Lord, and we obey without delay, because revelation, not reaction, is how we choose to live.
We submit our gifts to order. Anointing without government becomes chaos, and chaos was never the Father’s plan for His house, so we honour structure as the guardrail of glory.
We pursue excellence, refining every gift entrusted to us until raw fire becomes lasting light for our generation.
We carry a message for Nigeria and for Africa: our stories were never meant to be silent, they were meant to be alive, told through a people who hear God and do what He says.
God still speaks. And we are listening.
What we believe.
Our statement of faith, the foundation of everything we teach and practise as a church.
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible, Old and New Testament, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, our final rule for faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:16
One God, three persons
We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19
The person of Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose bodily on the third day.
1 Corinthians 15:3–4
Salvation by grace
We believe salvation is received by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by works, and is available to all who repent and believe.
Ephesians 2:8–9
The baptisms
We believe in water baptism by immersion as an act of obedience for every believer, and in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an empowering gift for service.
Acts 2:38; Acts 1:8
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, and that spiritual gifts, including prophecy, remain active and necessary in the Church today.
1 Corinthians 12:4–11
Divine healing
We believe God still heals in response to faith-filled prayer, and we pray for the sick expecting God to move.
James 5:14–15
The Church & the Great Commission
We believe the Church is built on the foundation of apostles and prophets, with Christ as the Cornerstone, and every believer is called to make disciples of all nations.
Ephesians 2:20; Matthew 28:19–20
The return of Christ
We believe in the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ, and in the resurrection and final judgment of all people.
Acts 1:11; Revelation 20:11–13
