Who is a Member?

The Christ Life Commission International defines membership on the basis of Acts 2: 41-42 “…then they that gladly received his word were baptized … and they continued steadfastly in the Apostles’ doctrines and fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers”.

Thus, a member shall be one…

  • Who believes in the Gospel.
  • Was baptized by immersion.
  • Who attends the teaching centre, zonal fellowship and meetings consistently.
  • Faithful in paying his/her tithes.
  • Well-known by leaders and brethren of the zonal fellowship with respect to type of business/job engaged in and general lifestyle.

Based on the above membership definition, anyone that falls short of this requirement would be referred to as a nominal member.

Teaching Centres

We operate a system of worship wherein we meet as a body for service on Sunday. Weekly services and other trainings are done in our respective Zonal Fellowships (House Fellowships) spread geographically.

Zonal Fellowship (House Fellowship)

We operate Zonal Fellowship System with the aim of equipping every active member to become a teacher of the Word. We do this by beginning a Zonal Fellowship locally and ministering the Christ Life Message to the surrounding community.
