Who We Are
The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) is a vibrant, Spirit-filled community of believers committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ across every community, nation, and generation. Rooted in Scripture and guided by the Holy Spirit, we exist to glorify God and serve humanity.
Our mission is to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to observe all that Christ has commanded. We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, the Trinity, salvation by grace through faith, and the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Purpose & Direction
To make disciples of all nations — preaching the Gospel, baptising believers, and teaching obedience to all that Christ commanded (Matthew 28:19–20).
To be a transformative, Spirit-empowered church that touches every community with the love of God and the truth of the Gospel.
Every ministry, decision, and sermon is grounded in the infallible Word of God. The Bible is our supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.
We serve our city and nation through outreach, social welfare, education, and healthcare — expressing the love of God in tangible, life-changing ways.
We are a missions-sending church committed to taking the Gospel beyond our borders into unreached people groups across Africa and the world.
We invest in spiritual formation through Bible study, mentorship, small groups, and leadership development at every stage of the Christian journey.

We believe in one God, eternally existing as three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — coequal and coeternal.
We believe that salvation is a gift of God received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, the hope of believers, and the promise of eternal life.
We believe in the literal, personal, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead.
