OUR VISION
Grooming men for the Kingdom of Heaven, Showing and Teaching them the path to excellent living;
“This is according to Ephesians 4:11-13 which says, “11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure (gauge) of the stature (height, physique, tallness) of the fullness (richness, completeness) of Christ”:
We believe God’s people are in three folds namely;
1. Those who have slept in Christ
2. Saints currently in the church
3. Potential believers (unbelievers) still in the World.
We therefore hope and trust in God to help us fulfil the vision committed into our hands as we minister to both the saints in the church and potential believers still in the world
OUR MISSION
We seek to use all our God-given resources, inspirations and every righteous available means to first prepare people for the kingdom of heaven and also with equal emphasis ensure their maximum excellent, victorious and healthy living during their sojourning on earth.
OUR HISTORY

The ministry was called God’s Pillar Evangelical Ministries then, and started having her impacts through Secondary Schools Outreaches and Student Mass Choir with over a thousand souls won into the Kingdom of God. The ministry later started other arms of the ministry, and today, to the glory of God, a number of subsidiaries are in operation with faithful and committed key brethren in charge.
