What we believe

God

There is one true eternal God, who is sovereign, infinitely perfect and eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

Jesus

The Son of God. He lived a sinless life while on earth and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people, by his atoning death. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate his power over sin and death and ascended to Heaven, and will return to earth to reign as King.

Holy Spirit

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, is received by faith. The Holy Spirit’s guidance in a person’s life is evidenced by changes in his life, including a renewed love for God, and people, a commitment to the scriptures and holy living. The gifts of the Holy Spirit seen in the New Testament are still active within the life of the church. These gifts did not cease to exist with the close of the New Testament (1 Cor. 12:1-11)

Bible

The Bible is the inspired and only infallible Word of God written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.It is accurate, authoritative and relevant today, and is the final authority on all matters of Christian faith and practice

Church

The Church of Jesus Christ is the spiritual body of believers globally, and is indwelt by God through the Holy Spirit and divinely empowered to fulfill the Great Commission on earth. There is power and significance when believers meet regularly together for worship, fellowship, prayer and the `breaking of bread’

Water Baptism

A symbolic step of obedience of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ and is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ.

The Lord’s Table

A symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.

Leadership

PASTOR JOHN MATHEW & ANNAMMA JOHN (GRACY)

The pioneers of the ALF Church, having obeyed God’s call to take up the mantle of the Church, which was once called Life Fellowship Kuwait in the early nineties.

Driven by God’s love for the unreached, their passion for the perishing even today is as energetic as when they had commenced their ministry, dedicating their lives in the service of the flock and for being pillars of fire and walls of prayer for those around.

Pastor John & Grace are also trained Physiotherapists from Nagpur – India, and had been working in Kuwait’s Ministry of Health, for over 35 years. They are truly the epitome of love, compassion and zeal to continue God’s great commission.
