Mission of the Church
The mission of the ESOC&S
“To evangelize and to arouse the African
in Nigeria in particular and the whole
world in general to the practice of a
spiritual Christian life and to those
sublime principles of Christian charity
and faith as taught by Christ himself”
Method of the Church
Training and Ordination of the Members

Trained and educated under the tutelage of
–
the Holy Spirit through the sharing of the
individual spiritual gifts among the gifted
members of the congregation
The Concept of Sanctuary Education

The Contrast of Seminary Education

Training and education under the tutelage of biblical
–
scholars that may not even be Christians
Purpose of Ordination
Some spirit-filled born again believers have been

endowed with specific gifts of the Holy Ghost
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
–
some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers
Ephesians 4:10-12
The progressive ordination of the members prompts

them to practice through the ordination ranks and thus
provides them the opportunity to probe themselves
for hidden gifts of the Holy Ghost
The proficiency of performance is usually significantly

enhanced when the Gift of the Holy Ghost aligns with the
Ordination Rank and Role of the gifted member
