Since 1974

It began in one room in Doha.

On 18 January 1974, four brothers met for fellowship in a rented room. There was no hall, no pulpit and no congregation — only four men, a Bible, and the conviction that God would plant a church here.

Fifty-two years on, more than six hundred believers worship in three languages, in a hall of our own inside Qatar’s Religious Complex.

Our belief

What we hold to be true.

Fourteen articles, held in common with the Church of God worldwide, and unchanged since this congregation began.

01

Inspiration

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.

02

Trinity

In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

03

Christology

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.

04

Repentance

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.

05

Salvation

That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

06

Sanctification

In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.

07

Holiness

Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.

08

Spirit-Baptism

In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.

09

Tongues

In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.

10

Baptism

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.

11

Healing

Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.

12

Ordinances

In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.

13

Second Coming

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.

14

Resurrection

In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
