The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ (Hq)

Before you consider becoming a member church of TCOTLJC(Hq), it's important you familiarize yourself with how the church operates and what we believe.  Understand how Headquarters will operate, what our duty will be to you, and what your duty will be to Headquarters.  

 

The goal is to work collaboratively with other sister churches that share the mission and vision of evangelizing and discipling persons throughout the world, and incorporating them into Christ-centered congregations, and mobilizing them to reach both unreached and responsive people worldwide.

 

This is a task that one church body cannot accomplish alone.  Like-minded Saints coming together as one heart and one voice will strengthen us to finish the work entrusted unto us.
