Welcome into the PRESENCE of the Eternal God

Who we are
A ministry founded to declare the work of God
The Gospel of Grace International Ministry (Watercourse Sanctuary) was founded by Pastor Abraham Afolayan under the authorship of our Creator, Almighty God, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit — to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, to declare the work of God, and to call the world to reason with the Scripture under the Lordship of Christ Jesus's gospel.
We serve the community, the nations, and the congregation of God through fervent prayer, thanksgiving, praise, the preaching of the word of God, and pastoral care and support services.

Vision
Where we are going
The vision is to lead all souls back to Christ, while our greatest achievement shall be to have our names in the book of life (Revelation 20:12–15) — and to also make it to the blessed supper of the Lamb of God, where we can all have a true fellowship with our Creator and dwell among the righteous.
Mission
Why we exist
The mission is to preach the Gospel according to the commandment of God (Isaiah 61:1–4), to teach the good tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to ensure the promise of Revelation 1:6 comes into fulfilment. Our primary objective is to convert lost souls for Christ through the sharing of the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ and His greatest love for all sons and daughters of Man.
Article of faith
What We Believe
We believe in the Sovereignty of the Most High God — the one true God, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit — and that angels exist as His messengers. We hold to baptism as a commandment and gift from the Lord Jesus Christ, and we observe the Lord's Supper once a year in remembrance of Christ.
