Vision

Cleanliness Is Next To God, Beautifying And Keeping The House Of God Worthy Of God’s People And His Welcoming Presence.

The Lord God has been very particular about his sanctuary from creation ( Gen 2:15). He has always been specific about who to be in his sanctuary and who not to be, how it should be kept and when the sanctuary can be accessible Ex 19:10 -11, Num 18:3 -5, Lev 22:2, Ezek 44:8. That is why special attention has to be placed in keeping the house of God. We have to maintain the splendour of the house of the Lord . This can only be achieved when members of the church, who have made themselves available to be used in beautifying the house of the Lord can show Integrity, Cleanliness and excellence to providing a platform in the beautification of the church. That is why we have the Sanctuary keepers Department.

Over the last ten years the team has seen growth from strength to strength both spiritually and physically. Last year was the most excellent of all as the Lord exceedingly added to our number with over 20 dedicated workers who are always available to serve in Love and humility. Since the team has grown, some of the team now comes early on Sunday morning to prepare the sanctuary ready for use and the second half of the team stays after service to tidy and get the sanctuary back to a presentable state.. The team now meet on Sundays for their departmental meeting due to the increased number where we share the word of God , pray and plan for the end of service schedule for the team and discuss any pressing issues. We thank God for what he is doing in our life as a team, we pray for greater heights IJN.
