1. To make heaven.
2. To take as many people with us.
3. To have a member of RCCG in every family of all nations.

To accomplish No. 1 above, holiness will be our lifestyle. To accomplish No. 2 and 3 above, we will plant churches within five minutes walking distance in every city and town of developing countries and within five minutes driving distance in every city and town of developed countries. We will pursue these objectives until every Nation in the world is reached for the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that Salvation is a free gift of God, attained through belief in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe in the triune Godhead-God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Mathew 3: 16-17, Hebrews 9:14. We believe in the Divine inspiration of the bible as the Infallible Word of God. We believe in the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary through which we receive salvation and justification. We believe in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the dead in Christ shall rise first to meet Him and then those alive in Christ.

The words “The Redeemed Christian Church of God” was received in a divine vision by Pa Josiah where a man who had not received any formal western education was able to understand the words he saw supernaturally on a blackboard. In the same visitation God made some promises including that this church would go to the ends of the earth and that the Lord Jesus Christ would meet this church when He appears in Glory.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God was born in 1952, and was shepherded by Pa Akindayomi until he went to be with the Lord at the age of 71 and his translator Pastor E.A Adeboye became the General Overseer by instruction of Pa Josiah Akindayomi contained in his sealed pronouncements which was read at his burial. This was followed by a great growth explosion and multiplication that continues till this day.

In RCCG North America today, there are almost 800 parishes of which Christ the Rock Church is one.
