We Are Non Profit Organization
We are a non-profit church organization because we are fueled by an unwavering devotion to our faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and in the unyielding desire to nurture souls for the kingdom.

As a non-profit organization, we pour every ounce of our energy, resources, and time into fostering a sanctuary of worship, teachings, healing, and spiritual growth through the edification and sensitization of our members in our various programs, seminars, conferences and educational provision. Our desire for our minister of God in this call and assignment is to cherish every single opportunity to be a haven of solace to the church and bring sanity to the church of Africa that is gradually letting the world, money and fame take the lead in what they say, and do.
International Pastoral Assembly Of Africa, is majorly concerned with the genuine hunger for the restoration of God’s ministers as we are all committed to building the main purpose of God for them and our churches, even as we network and interact, not leaving the fact that we all are humans created by God to fill in the empty gap in the world that is raging with all manner of atrocities and trust in God direction.
Our mission is rooted in selflessness, aiming to spread love, kindness, and the teachings of our faith far and wide. By embracing our non-profit status, we can wholeheartedly focus on serving the needs of others, nurturing their spirits, and facilitating connections that transcend the boundaries of this mortal realm.

They also serve as fathers who stand in the gap as an encourager, just as they join hands in fostering unity in the body of Christ according to Eph 4:13. The International Pastoral Assembly Of Africa, represents its member churches in wider society at the highest level.
We equip, and give guidance and oversight to our ministers.
