Church edifices go up regularly in the Liberian capital, Monrovia and other parts of the country, they vary in sizes and quality of construction.
One of the latest church buildings soon to go up with have a capacity to take 500 occupants.
The Creative Voice Ministries International Sunday broke grounds last weekend for the construction of a modern church.
It is a three years project that is expected to be completed in 2019 as planned by the general overseer of the church.
The church was founded in January 2010 has a membership of over one hundred thirty persons including children.
Speaking Sunday at the ground breaking ceremony under the theme follow instruction with text Proverb 4:13, the founder and general overseer of the church Pastor Theophilus S.B Sarvice called on all members to put aside their difference and work together as a body of Christ in the glorification of God.
‘’The temple of God we are about to build in three years period is comprises of ground floor with three hundred (300) seated capacities and over floor with 200 seated capacities” pastor Sarvice said.
“If you refuse to build the house of God, God himself will raise stones that will work for him” pastor Sarvice noted.
According to Theophilus S.B Sarvice,’’ building the temple or the house of God is a privilege and opportunity that God will use to bless individuals in the church for another level.
He is however encouraging believers and members across the country to hold on to instructions and be part of what God will be doing in your life and in the church as the building project continue.
The Founder of the Creative Voice Ministry International wants Christians to put God first and follow the way of him by using what is in their hands.
See this building project as a blessing; therefore do all you can to be part of the blessing he explained.
He is encouraging believers across the word to be connected with the word of God in the 21st era noting that it is the only way to enter heaven as individuals.
The local pastor noted that churches in Liberia is lacking behind as a result of pastors preachers noting teaching the true words of God to their members.
He said the 21st century Christians in Liberia is not willing to transform their mind toward the God.
Rev. Theophilus S.B Sarvice, the Founder and General overseer of the Creative Voice Ministries International described his compatriots as “unserious, deceitful and wicked because they are far from God”, something he says is responsible for the backwardness of Churches in country.
He is calling on Christians to put their trust in God and live a life that will serve as the light to others in the world.
