The Agape Life Church, Chilomoni Branch was established in
December 1999 to fulfil
the purpose of God by transforming
and empowering people by the gospel of Jesus Christ with
power of Love, through the power and
manifestation of the Holy Spirit for the Glory of God under
the mandate of the founder of ALCI;
Apostle A D
Mgala
ALCI
Chilomoni Church Community
"A community of faith"
Every successful organization must know where it was, where
it is and where it is heading. After
23 Years
the branch must critically examine
itself to determine its direction.
In order to ensure a
stable future for the branch, the
leadership has come up with a strategic plan. The process
sought input from key stakeholders of
the branch.
Over the years, through outreach and youth ministries
the branch has planted several
branches including
Segerege,
Lunzu
branch
in Blantyre,
Zalewa
branch in Neno,
Bvumbwe
in
Thyolo,
Area
38 in
Lilongwe district,
and many
more.
The branch Pastor will be committed to the plan because
he realizes that to be successful,
the plan requires a combination of financial, human, and
technological resources which must
be made available at various levels of the branch.
We understand in reality that foresight is never as
clear as hindsight; the strategic plan,
therefore, is Chilomoni's best effort to envision the
path it believes that God wants us to
take. The plan is not
"cast in stone"
but would be submitted to the
sovereign direction of our Lord as well as subjected to
on-going evaluation so that it could
be adjusted as required to achieve success.
The branch through the Education department established
a
Secondary School in September 2019.
Finally, we believe that "Agape Life Church Chilomoni
Branch is
"ALIVE AND WELL"
so let us commit ourselves
like Hebrew people in the period of Nehemiah's ministry
to echo "we will arise and build" a
greater branch with an uplifting future for our children
and their children
Our Mission & Vision
Discover the heart, purpose, and values that drive ALCI Empowerment Center forward
Our Mission
Our mission is to reach people with the transforming Love of God and to lead them into a
life of freedom, growth, and purpose. We are committed to bringing Deliverance,
Discipleship, Development, and Destiny to individuals from all walks of life.
Through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, we help people
break free from spiritual, emotional, and social limitations;
grow in the knowledge of Christ; discover their God-given
gifts; and step confidently into the destiny that God has designed for them.
Everything we do, every program, every service, every act of ministry, exists for
one reason only: to glorify God.
We aim to build a Christ-centered community where lives are transformed, faith is
strengthened, and people are equipped to impact their families, workplaces, and
communities for the Kingdom of God.
Our Vision
Our vision is to become a vibrant and life-giving centre that is firmly rooted in sound
biblical truth and strengthened by a deep, unshakable unity in the Love of God. We desire to
be a place where God's presence is felt, where His Word is honoured, and where His people
grow together in faith, hope, and love.
We envision a community that wisely uses every God-given resource — our gifts, our
time, our talents, and our opportunities — to empower and equip people for real transformation.
We seek to nurture individuals spiritually, emotionally, and socially, guiding
them toward a meaningful and Christ-centred life.
Ultimately, our goal is to raise and develop men, women, youth, and children who
become authentic disciples of Jesus Christ — people who know Him, love Him,
follow Him wholeheartedly, and live out their faith in ways that influence their
families, workplaces, and communities. We aim to be a beacon of light, a home of
hope, and a centre of growth where every person can discover their identity,
purpose, and destiny in Christ.

Our Statement of Faith
✦
The Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Scriptures—both the Old and
New Testaments—are the inspired, infallible
Word of God, without error in their original form,
and are the final authority for all Christian
faith and life.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:21)
2
Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV):
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful
for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
training in righteousness, so that the
servant of God may be thoroughly equipped
for
every good work."
2
Peter 1:21 (NIV):
"For prophecy never had its origin in the
human will, but prophets, though human,
spoke
from God as they were carried along by the
Holy Spirit."
✦
Christian Living
We believe that the Christian life is a journey of
discipleship, obedience to God's Word,
holiness, and faithful service. Through the power of
the Holy Spirit, we are called to witness,
to serve, and to grow in Christlikeness.
(Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 1:8; Acts
2:38; 2 Corinthians 6:14–18; 2 Corinthians
7:1)
Matthew
28:19 (NIV):
"Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit."
Mark
16:16 (NIV):
"Whoever believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe will be
condemned."
Acts
1:8 (NIV):
"But you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts
2:38 (NIV):
"Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized,
every one of you, in the name of Jesus
Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins. And you
will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"
2
Corinthians 6:14-18 (NIV):
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
For what do righteousness and wickedness
have in common? Or what fellowship can light
have with darkness?... 'Therefore, Come out
from them and be separate, says the Lord.'"
2
Corinthians 7:1 (NIV):
"Therefore, since we have these promises,
dear friends, let us purify ourselves from
everything that contaminates body and
spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence
for
God."
✦
Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit
We believe in the operation and demonstration of the
gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as the
manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit in every
believer's life.
(Galatians 5:22–23)
Galatians
5:22-23 (NIV):
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law."
