Dear partner in Christ,

Greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I consider this my honor to welcome you to our parish website and express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for spending your valuable time to know what the Lord is doing in and through our parish for the glory and furtherance of His kingdom.

As a Parish our desire is to grow in the knowledge of the Word of God, which is inerrant, infallible and it is our life. Our activities are directed towards enhancing our knowledge of His Word.

We are a worshiping community: Our Master Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary and saved us from the bondage of our sin and promised us eternity. We give Him glory, honor and adoration, through our Sunday worship, and through other various fellowship gatherings for His amazing grace and marvelous love. May I take this opportunity to invite you to join our worship service, fellowship gatherings for celebrating the victory of the cross.

We are a praying community: We believe in prayer and give importance to prayer life; we conduct regular prayer meetings and intercede for various needs.

We are a mission oriented community: Lord Jesus commissioned us to preach the good news, the gospel of salvation. We are committed to His mission to reach out to the unreached with the saving knowledge of the gospel by any means. Witnessing and discipling is our primary goal.

This site gives information about our Christian faith and updates about the activities of the parish in connection with our mission and ministry along with the photos of recent events.

Jesus has entrusted us with great responsibility to teach and preach the good news, we are called to lead a holy and blameless life and follow In His Steps. May I encourage you to be faithful to Savior Jesus and invite you to become the partner’s of the Gospel.

May God Bless,

In Christ’s service,

Rev. Dr. Abraham Chacko
Vicar, STECI Philadelphia Parish.
