The Holy Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and serves as the authoritative standard for faith and living. There is one true God, the Creator of the universe, who exists as a Triune Being: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for sinful humanity, was resurrected, and ascended to heaven, where He intercedes for believers. Humanity has fallen due to sin and faces eternal damnation, but redemption is possible through faith in Christ alone. Conformity to His teachings defines true discipleship.
The Holy Spirit plays an indispensable role in perfecting God's will in believers. Core beliefs include the Great Commission, divine healing, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, tithing, fellowship, the rapture, and Christ’s second coming to judge the world. Heaven and hell are real destinations, and genuine repentance should be accompanied by restitution whenever possible.
RCCG Living Spring International Center Erie began as a testament to faith and divine calling through Dr. Stella Dogun, a pediatrician passionate about serving others. Following a meeting with Pastor Esan Adegboyega in September 2009, the first house fellowship was held on November 14, 2009, with 80 attendees. By July 4, 2010, the fellowship had grown into a vibrant church officially launched at the Clarion Hotel. The parish later secured a location on French Street and flourished under the leadership of Pastor Oladeji Olaore, whose dedication inspired tremendous growth and devotion among the congregation.
Today, Pastor Adebola, a purpose-driven leader with a Ph.D. from West Virginia University, continues this mission alongside his wife, Adeola. With a history of pioneering and administrative roles in RCCG parishes across Morgantown and Philadelphia, Pastor Adebola brings a passion for transformative teaching and discipleship, emphasizing practical, uncompromised Christianity and helping believers discover and fulfill their God-given purpose.
1. To make heaven.
2. To take as many people as possible with us.
3. To have a member of RCCG in every family of all nations.
To accomplish No. 1 above, holiness will be our lifestyle.
To accomplish No. 2 and 3 above, we will plant churches within five minutes walking distance in every city and town of developing countries and within five minutes driving distance in every city and town of developed countries.
We will pursue these objectives until every Nation in the World is reached for Jesus Christ our Lord.
