This is our interpretation of a partial and biblical mandate that acts as motivation for us as we engage in Ministry. We adapt this mandate in order to help the membership to develop Christ-like character and to fulfill their God-given potentials. This approach to Ministry has the potential to cause explosive growth of the church and effective nurturing of the local congregation.

The goal of growing the Church and maturing lives is in the Command given by Christ to: “Go make disciples of all…” (Matthew 28:19, NIV).

To be engaged in ‘Transforming Lives’ involves:

• Accepting people where we find them
• Identifying where they are in their experiences in life
• Helping them to find healing for their hearts and minds
• Teaching them to build trusting relationships through love and
• Showing them how to experience Christ’s forgiveness.

Undoubtedly, the attainment of this goal involves pastors, leaders and members, who are driven by a well-defined purpose, and informed by specific and well-thought out Core Values.

There are six (6) functions which inform the Transforming Lives Mission and are Core Values of the Portmore Holiness Christian Church (PHCC). The leadership of the Church is deliberate in ensuring that the objectives of all planned activities and programmes reflect these Core Values. These values build new bridges that facilitate increase in the Church’s Ministries and greater involvement in the life of the community.
