Message from our pastor

Welcome to Living Rock Fellowship, where faith meets life, hope finds a voice, and love becomes action.

We are more than a congregation. We are a family united by God’s love, committed to growing in faith, supporting one another, and sharing the Good News. We believe every person is created by God, worthy of love and respect, and invited to discover their purpose in Him.

Through worship, prayer, God’s Word, and community, we seek to grow spiritually and live out our faith through service and compassion. Our church is a place to find peace, purpose, and a deeper connection with God.

Whether you’re searching for a spiritual home or simply exploring faith, you are always welcome here. We invite you to visit us and experience the warmth of our church family.

May God bless and guide you on your journey.

Our mission

Our mission is to glorify God by sharing the Good News that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

Our vision

Living Rock Fellowship will be a light for Seychelles, proclaiming the full Gospel of Jesus Christ, raising a generation of faithful believers and leaders, and bringing hope, transformation, and God’s love to the nation and beyond.

What we believe

This is how we view God, Jesus, the Bible, humanity, and many significant aspects of our faith. Firmly rooted in Scripture, the beliefs of Living Rock Fellowship guide our decisions as a church.

Scripture

The Bible is God’s inspired Word and the ultimate authority for our faith and life.

God

There is one God who exists eternally as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sins, rose again, ascended to heaven, and will return in glory.

Salvation

Salvation is found through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, through whom we are born again and become children of God.

Humanity & Sin

We were created in God’s image, but sin entered the world through the Fall and separated humanity from God.

The Holy Spirit

As believers, we are empowered and equipped to serve because the Holy Spirit lives and works in us.

The Church

The Church is a community of people redeemed by Christ and brought together through faith, repentance, and the Holy Spirit.

Christian Life

As followers of Christ, we are called to grow in holiness and live lives that reflect God’s grace.

Return of Christ

Jesus Christ will personally return in power and glory, just as He promised.

Resurrection & Eternal Life

Death is not the end. All will be resurrected, with eternal life for those redeemed by Christ and eternal separation for those who reject Him.

Water Baptism & the Lord’s Supper

These practices are expressions of our faith, identifying us with Christ and reminding us of His sacrifice.

Divine Healing

God is our healer, and divine healing is part of the Gospel revealed throughout Scripture.

Marriage & Sexuality

Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman, within which sexual intimacy is intended to be expressed.

Authority

God calls us to respect and submit to rightful authority in the Church, in doctrine, and in our personal lives.

Our mission

  1. To glorify God by sharing the Good News that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
  2. To command all the brethren to come to the knowledge of the truth concerning our place before God and His people Israel (Romans 11:1–25; Ephesians 2).
  3. To teach true and sound doctrine (1 Timothy 4:6).
  4. To fulfill the perfect will of God in the life of each individual and around the world (2 Timothy 3:16–17; Matthew 28:19–20).

Our vision

Living Rock Fellowship will be a light for Seychelles.

  1. To proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in Seychelles and to all the world.
  2. To bring the full Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations.
  3. To feed hungry souls with the Word of God.
  4. To seek and save the lost (Jude 22–23).
  5. To reach out across denominational boundaries and establish friendship and fellowship.
  6. To train up potential leaders for various ministries.
  7. To raise up a vibrant, on-fire youth group who will impact Seychelles.
  8. To fulfill the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:9.
  9. To cultivate and instill in the young generation Christian moral values and Bible principles that promote filial and community respect for self and all.
  10. To support and assist programs for the less fortunate in society, such as the disabled, prisoners, widows, orphans, the sick, people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, and the elderly, all as directed by the Holy Spirit.
  11. And any divine revelation that the Holy Spirit may add to this vision from time to time.

Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:2–6; Acts 3:19; John 17:20–23; Colossians 2:14–15; Mark 16:15; Ephesians 6:1–3; Matthew 25:44–45; Ezekiel 37:9

Statement of faith

  1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testament, in their original writing, as fully inspired by God, and accept them as the supreme and final authority for our faith and life.
  2. We believe in one God, who eternally exists as the Trinity: the Father as our Father, the Son as our Saviour, and the Holy Spirit as our Advocate.
  3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, and His miracles; that our Redeemer paid the full price for our ransom (Matthew 20:28); that He became the complete sacrifice for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2) and made full atonement for all our sins by His death on the Cross (Romans 5:6–21; Ephesians 1:7); and in His resurrection, His ascension into heaven, and His glorious return in power and glory.
  4. We believe that God created man in His own image, with intelligence, conscience, and will. Man became corrupt and fell; his moral, mental, and spiritual characteristics have been perverted and twisted by the Fall, and he thereby incurred the penalty of sin, which is physical and spiritual death.
  5. With regard to sexual behaviour, we believe in heterosexual relationships between a natural man and a natural woman within the confines of lawful matrimony.
  6. We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  7. We believe that receiving Jesus Christ as one’s personal Lord and Saviour is the only way of salvation for lost and sinful man, because there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ.
  8. We believe that all who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
  9. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, empowering and equipping believers for service, with the accompanying supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, and in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
  10. We believe in the divinely ordained ministries of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher.
  11. With regard to submission to authority, we believe in the principle that you are in authority because you are under authority. As such, it is understood that membership is subject to submission to authority in matters of Church government, doctrine, and personal behaviour.
  12. We believe in the resurrection of both the just and the unjust, the eternal blessedness of the redeemed, and the eternal banishment of those who have rejected the offer of salvation.
  13. We believe that the one true Church is the whole company of those who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and regenerated by the Holy Spirit; that the local Church on earth should take its character from this spiritual concept of the Church; and therefore that the New Birth, personal confession of Christ, and repentance are essential to Church membership.
  14. We believe in water baptism by total immersion, in sanctification by the Blood of Christ, in personal holiness of heart and life, and in separation from the love of the world.
  15. We believe in the Lord’s Supper: the partaking of the emblems, symbolic of the Saviour’s broken Body and shed Blood, in remembrance of His sacrificial death, until He comes.
  16. We believe in divine healing, which has been provided for in the Old and New Testaments and is an integral part of the Gospel.
  17. We believe that the Bible teaches that without holiness no one can see the Lord.
  18. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite yet progressive work of grace, beginning at the time of the New Birth and continuing until the consummation of salvation.
