Our Church is Open
At Padstow Heights Christian Assembly you’ll find a group of people who love God.
We are a non-denominational, evangelical, and conservative local church based on the
New Testament building and functioning principles, founded in 1959.
We love to learn about God as we seek to live our lives according to His plans and purposes for us.
We practice 4 spiritual principles on a weekly basis (according to Acts 2:42):
- doctrine,
- fellowship,
- breaking of bread (communion), and
- prayer.
We are spiritually affiliated with the Church at Hebron (Hyderabad,
India), Jehovah Shammah (Chennai, India) and sister assemblies all around the world.
