ABOUT US

ABOUT US

WELCOME

RCCG Jesus People Parish Benfleet was established in 2022. We are a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God based in Essex, United Kingdom.

We are a bible believing and practising congregation and our desire is to see God’s kingdom come and his will be done in the lives of everyone that God has placed within our church community and locality as well as to see and meet Jesus at his second appearing.

Jesus Christ is our perfect example; holiness is our watchword. ‘And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure’ 1st John 3:3 KJV.

“We welcome people from every nation of the world to worship with us”

OUR MISSION

Isaiah 61:1

‘The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek, he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to them that are bruised’ In line with the above, our mission is to make heaven and take as many people with us as possible.

We are committed to spreading the gospel of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and bring the hope that this good news offers to those who are poor, broken-hearted, oppressed, in prison, or held captive in one area of their lives or another.

To proclaim the liberty that is in

Christ Jesus and the relief that Christ brings to anyone willing to accept his gift of salvation.

Jesus People Benfleet is a welcoming Christian community passionate about sharing the love and message of Jesus Christ with everyone. We believe in the power of God’s Word, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the importance of living out our faith through love, service, and discipleship.

Our church is more than a building—it’s a family. Whether you are new to faith, returning after some time away, or looking for a place to grow deeper, you will find a home here. At Jesus People Benfleet, we are committed to:

  • Worshiping God in spirit and truth

  • Teaching and living by the Word of God

  • Building strong families and communities

  • Reaching out with the love of Christ in practical ways

OUR BELIEFS

  1. THE BIBLE

We believe that the entire Scripture, both Old and New Testament are written by the

inspiration of the Holy Spirit – II Tim. 3:16-17. All the Christian teachings and the Christian

attitude of the Children of God are such as are established in the Holy Bible – II Tim. 3:10-

15; II Peter 1:21; John 17:17; Ps. 119:105.

We believe that the Bible is the written and revealed Will of God. Man’s position to God, the

way to obtain salvation, woe and destruction awaiting sinners that refuse to repent and

everlasting joy that is kept for the born again souls. All the Bible teachings are holy, what the

Bible reveals as the will of God are such that we should accept, and whatever God writes in

the Bible and His Law are to remain unchangeable; for the Heavens and Earth may pass away

but the Word of God stands forever. Deut. 4:22; Rev. 22:18, 19; Matt. 24:34-38.

ABOUT GOD

Ps. 33:6-9 As revealed unto us by the Bible, we believe that there is only one God, Who is the Creator of both visible and invisible creatures -Gen. 1:1; Ps. 86:9-10; Is. 43:10-11; John 1:1-3. Only God will be in existence forever. Ez. 3:14; in God every creature receives life -John 5:26.

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

We believe that He is the Son of God; Who took away our sins, and the Savior of the world.
We also believe that Jesus is God and was born by Mary the Virgin. He is God revealed in the
flesh. Through Him all things were created. John 1:1-14; John 14:9; Matt. 1:18-25, Is 9:6; Is
53:5-6. We believe in His death on the Cross, and resurrection, by which He brought
redemption – Is. 53:4-10; I Pet. 2:24; John 10:11; Gal. 3:13, Matt. 20:28; I Cor. 15:3; Rom.
4:25; II Cor. 5:14; Heb 2:9; Heb 9:26.

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the TRINITY. He has the same power, the same glory with God the Father and God the Son – John 14:16-17; John 15:26; Matt. 3:16; Acts 13:24. He is one with Father and the Son who is to be worshiped and served. Three Persons that become one are the source of blessings to all the living creatures in Heaven and on earth – Matt. 28:19; II Cor. 13:14; I John 1:5-7. The Holy Spirit has a great work to perform. He Teaches, He Speaks to men, and bears witness in us – Acts 16:6-7; He performs the work of regeneration for man- John 3:5-6; He also performs the work of Sanctification in the born again souls until they are fully sanctified – John 16:8; Eph 1:17-19; II Thess. 2:13; I Cor. 6:11. This same Holy Spirit endows believers with gifts they can use – I Cor 12:7; He empowers one in the Lord. Acts 1:8.

ABOUT TRINITY

The egg is comprised of three parts: The yellow yolk, the whitish part, and the shell. Despite
these three (3) substances, the egg is not three but one. Likewise, we believe that God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost are one God, but made of three persons – hence
they are ONE IN TRINITY – Gen. 1:16-29; Matt. 3:16-17; Matt. 18:19.

ABOUT THE DEVIL

We believe that there is a devil, who seeks the down fall of every man. He brought sickness,
sin and death into the world. Gen. 3:1-16. He seeks the destruction of those who exercise their
faith in the Lord Jesus. Matt. 4:1-11; James 4:7; I Peter 5:8. The devil has several unclean
spirits over whom he governs – Matt. 12:24. A time would soon come when he shall be
thrown into the pit and chained for one thousand years- Rev. 20:7-9. After this, he will be put
into the lake of fire where he will remain suffering together with his followers for ever and
ever. Rev. 20:10

ABOUT MAN

Things He created. Gen. 1:26. God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul – Gen 2:7. Therefore man is of
three parts, namely body, soul and spirit. Man is God’s ambassador on earth to take control
over all other creatures on His behalf on earth. Gen. 1:26-28. God allows man to take part in
His work and thereby reveal His love for mankind more than any other creatures – Gen. 2:15.
This also shows how God elevates man more than the other creatures upon the earth.

WATER BAPTISM

We believe in baptism by the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Matt. 28:19. The
teaching is revealed in the New Testament and all Christians must obey this rule of the Lord –
Acts 2:24; Acts 16:15; Acts 18:8; Acts 19:4-5. Every saved soul automatically qualifies for
Water Baptism – Acts 8:29-39; 16:18-23.
We believe that all members of this Church should receive immersion Water Baptism, in the
Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as believers who would not add to, or take out of
the Word of God. Matt. 28:19. C. The Reason for Water Baptism Water Baptism stands for a
sign and an example of two things.

1. It is an outward sign, an example of a true repentance of a sinner from his or her sins. Acts 2:38; Acts 22:6 

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

All born-again souls should ask for the Holy Spirit from above, as the Apostles were ordered
to wait in Jerusalem until they were filled from above. It is the promise of the Father. It is
God’s gift which He gives to those who obey Him – Luke 24:49; John 4:14-26; Acts 1:4-5;
Acts 5:32; Acts 8:14-17. It is God’s promise unto those who are far and all whom the Lord
shall call – Acts 2:38-39. Any Christian who receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit must
speak in tongues – Acts 2:4; Acts 10:34-36; Acts 19:2-6.

HOLY MATRIMONY

Marriage is honourable in all – Heb. 13:4. Therefore, all members who wish to marry could
do so in the church. They are not to follow the worldly pattern with drumming and dancing,
drunkenness, or wear clothes that expose the intimate parts of the body. I John 2:15-17; Rom.
12:2.

HOLY COMMUNION OR THE LORD’S SUPPER

It is instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ shortly before His death. He commanded all
Christians to gather together regularly to share the bread and wine till He comes back again –
Luke 22:17-20; Matt. 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; I Cor. 10:18, 21; Acts 2:42; 20:7; I Cor.
11:23-30.

DEDICATION OF CHILDREN

We believe that after a child is born on the 8th day, the parent should bring himher unto the
House of the Lord for dedication unto the Lord – 1 Sam. 1:22; Luke. 22:22-24; Matt. 19:13
15.

ABOUT RESTITUTION

 Restitution is a sign of true repentance. This is payment for what is damaged – Ez.. 22:3. Whatever cannot give us a clear conscience before man and God should be restituted without delay – Lev. 6:1-7; Luke 19:8; Prov. 28:13; Acts 24:16.

ONE HUSBAND, ONE WIFE, DIVORCE, AND RE-MARRIAGE

The Word of God teaches us that monogamy has been the order since the beginning of the
Law of Christ. Divorce is permissible only when a life partner has committed adultery. Even
then, neither of the two should be married to a new partner while both are yet alive – Matt.
5:31-32, 19:9; Mark 10:11-12; Luke 16:18; Rom. 7:2-3; Mal. 2:13-16; Gen. 2:18: Matt. 19:4

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

The Second coming of Jesus Christ will be in physical form and will be visible to all in like
manner as He was seen ascending up to heavens – Acts 1:9-11; John 14:3. His return will be
in two stages: A. Christ’s return in the sky – The Saints or Bride of Christ will be raptured to
meet Christ in the sky – I Thess. 4:15-17; I Cor. 15:51-52; Matt. 24:40-44; Matt 25:10 B. His
return to the earth – He will return to the earth to judge the sinners and the ungodly – Rev.
19:19-21; II Thess. 1:7-10; Jude 1:14-15; Zech. 14:3-4.
