ABOUT US

The story of the Peniel Church of God has been “a parade of miracles” every step of the way, from our first small gatherings with one believer attending from the neighborhood at Clacton Meeting Place to what we are today, 3 blessed fellowship gatherings every weekend at Chelmsford, Colchester & Clacton. The Peniel Church of God was established over fourteen years ago with the overarching mission of disseminating the Gospel to those who remain unaware of its teachings, as delineated in Matthew 28:19-20: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Church of God is to communicate the full gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19, 20) in the Spirit and power of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4, 6, 13-18) (71st A., 2006, p. 44).

WHAT WE DO

We are Tamil Churches in Essex. We have services in Tamil/English translated to other languages. We worship the awesome God who sent His one and only son Lord Jesus Christ to die for us for our sins so that we will be saved from our sins and enter into eternal life.

We worship him in spirit and truth. All the believers are encouraged by the ministers of God to participate in building the Body of Christ by using their talents in all church activities.

OUR COMMUNITY

Under the umbrella of the PCOG, there exist three subsidiary branches, namely:

Clacton Tamil Church, Colchester Tamil Church & Chelmsford Tamil Church

FIND YOUR FAITH

What We Believe:

The NTCG believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The NTCG has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.

We believe:

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
