about us

What is the church? Bible Faith Church & ECC

The church is the spiritual body of believers world-wide, the people who have accepted Jesus Christ in their lives and who live and walk following the teachings of the Lord Jesus. A member of ECC is one who has understood what the church stands for and has committed themselves to the leadership and other members of the church as a family.

Bible Faith Church started in 1983, founded by the late Rev L. M. D. Chikhwaza with Pastor Stephen M'bwana. There are more than 50 branches spread throughout Malawi and Mozambique, led by pastors with assistant pastors or church elders. Our aim is for people to move from the community, to the crowd, to the congregation, to the committed and to the commissioned.

our mission

Why does the church exist? The five purposes

The church exists to fulfil the five purposes: to worship God, to fellowship, to make disciples, to serve in ministry, and to evangelise.

We worship God both individually and corporately. We fellowship by living, growing, and serving together and sharing life's problems by supporting and encouraging each other. We grow as disciples to become like Christ. We discover our gifts and use them to serve. We go into the communities to reach the lost and bring them to Christ. Our vision is to present and represent Christ to the people.

verse of the day

Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth Romans 10:9–10

If you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, you are saved. By surrendering your life to Jesus and inviting Him to be Lord, by asking Him to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness, you are saved. Give your life to Jesus today.
