A Place to Belong, Grow, and Serve
Christ The Rock (CTR) is a family-based, Bible-believing Pentecostal church situated in the heart of Chalala (Boulderview area), Lusaka. As a vibrant branch of Praise Christian Centre (PCC) International, CTR was established in 2009 with a commitment to preaching the uncompromised Word of God, nurturing families, and building an authentic community of believers.
Over the years, God has blessed our ministry with steady growth—both within our physical sanctuary in Lusaka and across our expanding online congregation. Whether you are joining us in person or tuning in digitally, you will find a warm, welcoming home at CTR where you can deepen your faith and discover your purpose.
Our Vision
"To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
— Ephesians 4:11–13
Our Mission
We are a warm, welcoming, Word-based family church dedicated to equipping individuals and families with enduring Christian values through sound, Bible-based teaching.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide our ministry and community
Love & Unity
We believe that God is love. As His children, we are called to walk in genuine love, harmony, and unity with one another, creating a supportive family for everyone who walks through our doors.
Integrity
We hold integrity at a high premium. We strive for transparency, purity of character, and upright conduct in all spheres of life—including church administration, leadership, individual living, and family life.
Family & Marriage
We believe in one God, eternally revealed as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Just as the Trinity operates in perfect agreement and unity, we recognize that God is the divine initiator of the family unit and marriage. We actively nurture, protect, and strengthen families.
Excellence
Our God is an excellent God, as shown through the splendor of His creation and works. Because we serve a God of excellence, we bring our best to everything we do—from our worship and administration to our community outreach.
