G R E E T I N G S:

We, your brothers and sisters in the Church of Christ at Quezon City (Project
7), in Metro Manila, have been your partners in God’s ministry in our
community for the past 29 years. It has been our fervent prayer to the
Heavenly Father to be blessed with more strength to continue serving Him.

With our renewed commitment, we are presently engrossed in our plan to

build a new church building that will serve as sanctuary for anyone who
needs God’s reassuring presence and where the activities and programs of
the church will be accommodated. We have embarked in an ambitious
project of making this Church the center of early Christian education in our
community, which is vital to our evangelism mission.

We are blessed with a good property which is ideally located, accessible by

mass transportation and in a good and clean neighborhood. But the old,
termite-ridden and out-moded church building has to be torn down to give
way for the facilities we will need.

We now have the building plan, and the estimated project cost is Php 25
million (about US $500,000). With our meager resources, we are committed
to raise one-tenth (Php 2.5 million) of the cost and the rest, we pray, will be
from your support.

We are seeking the help of brethren, cluster of brethren, churches, or cluster

of churches who can pledge US $1,000 each to streamline this campaign. We
have stretched the fund-raising period to two years to provide our sponsors a
more convenient time to schedule their pledges.
We encourage that you read through this Church Profile to learn more about
our Church and this endeavor.

We trust you will join us to realize this project for the glory of our Lord.

In His Name,

The Church
The Church is strategically located at the heart of Quezon
City
• The Vicinity Map illustrates how the Church of Christ at Project 7 can
serve a bigger number of people who seek Christ and can extend its
service to neighboring communities.
• It is easily accessible via public transport, i.e. via Metro Rail Transit
(MRT) and other public utility transport, from different points in
Quezon City and Metro Manila.
• The regular attendees of Bible study sessions conducted by the
Evangelism Ministry may easily visit the church. Attendees from
southern Metro Manila may easily attend Worship and other church
activities via the MRT and other public transport.
• The proximity of the Church with various establishments, i.e.
government offices and shopping malls, gives the Church advantage
in terms of exposure and inviting more people to visit and become
members of the congregation.

Growing membership
• Presently, the Church accommodates more than 100 members, who
reside at Project 7 and in neighboring communities.
• Membership has improved in size with the efforts of the Ministries
set-up by the Board of Elders.
• To date, the Church has 14 different bible study groups within Metro
Manila and has encouraged a number of regular church attendees
from neighboring places such as Westriverside, Commonwealth
Avenue, and Libis and is expected to grow even larger with the
reinforcement of the Church’s evangelical work.

To further enhance its Evangelism Ministry in the

community
• The Church envisions to construct a Pre-School Learning Center in the
first floor of the church building as a significant tool in introducing the
Church to the community.
• The Leadership recognizes that educating the children at their tender
age is an effective means of transcending the Word of Christ.
• Further, the parents of the students may also be encouraged to
participate in Church activities and eventually may be inspired to join
the congregation.
To facilitate activities and fellowships with other Churches
• To realize its objective of engendering camaraderie among the
congregation and members of the other Churches of Christ, the new
church building can provide adequate facilities and needed venues
for various church activities.
• More importantly, the Church will now be able to sponsor bigger
events like, fellowships with other Churches and other activities.

 The first missionaries of the Church of Christ arrived in the Philippines
together with, the establishment of the American civil government in 1901.
In the early days, the missionaries experienced great difficulty in propagating
the Gospel of Christ because of the long and embedded religious tradition
which has been taught and practiced by the Filipinos for over 300 years. But
the American missionaries remained unfazed. And with their efforts, the
Gospel of the New Testament Church razed like fire throughout the country.

In 1953, the teachings of Christ reached

Quezon City and finally the early members of
the Project 7 Church of Christ through the
efforts of the Church of Christ at Cruzada by
conducting meetings at Roosevelt Street
(Pitimini), San Francisco del Monte, Quezon
City. The meetings grew into regular gatherings
where the Gospel of Salvation was shared. This
was reinforced by the personal evangelism of
the members of the Cruzada Church of Christ.
Soon the missionaries decided to transfer the
church services to the house of Mrs. Carrie
Wolfe.

Mrs. Wolfe opened her “retirement home” for evangelism where the
first small group was organized through Bro. Lungat and an elder of the
Church of Christ at Cruzada. And from this small
nucleus, a Church grew. Leslie and Carrie

multiplied.

Barton and Betty McElroy took over the

congregation when Mrs. Wolfe met her
Creator. In the early part of the 1960s, a
small parcel of land, measuring 625 square
meters located at Bansalangin corner
Dangay St., was purchased for the purpose
of establishing a permanent house for the
growing members of the Church.
Groundbreaking and dedication for the
church was held in 1964. Financial donations
poured in from various Churches in Manila.

Barton and Betty McElroy

Thus, on the 17th day of April 1977, the Church held its
first service in the new building where the current Church of
Christ at Project Seven stands. A total of 32 individuals were present during
the first service at the Worship Hall of the Church. Twenty-four were adults
and eight were children. Sunday School was taught dividing the attendees
into groups for adults and for children.

minister for over 20 years from the 1970s

Christian Education Ministry
The Christian Education
Ministry (CEM) is responsible for the
religious education of the
congregation of Project 7. With the
growth and maturity of the church
members as its primary goal, the
CEM has continuously remodeled its
program and curricula to adapt to
their needs. The CEM believes that
focus must be made on the quality
of the growth and maturity of the
members as Christians and not
merely on the quantity or number of Men’s bible study group
the congregation. The CEM, therefore,
oversees the entire educational program of the
Church and ensures that the Bible study programs are in line with the vision
and mission of the Church.

The CEM also assists the other ministries in their respective projects
and extends services in terms of the materials necessary for Christian
education. It also works closely with the pastor for the purpose of selecting
and training members to become qualified leaders and teachers of the
Church, i.e. teachers, worship leaders, deacons, deaconesses, and elders. In
addition, the CEM assists the pastor in conceptualizing essential programs
for the members such as retreats and seminars. The CEM is presently
headed by Pastor Ver Palang.

Small-group Bible study

The CEM undertakes to provide Christian education to the members
through the Small Group Bible study program. This program was developed
when Pastor Ver Palang was inspired
by the phrase, “growing larger and
smaller at the same time.”

After having long adhered to the

traditional congregation-type of Bible
study, wherein all adults and young-
adults were put together in one class,

Adult women’s bible

study group
 the CEM introduced the small-group type of Bible study with the Purpose-
Driven series as its main curriculum. The CEM divided the congregation into
several groups, consisting of the Men, Women, Elderly, Adults, Youth and
Teen’s department in which the Elders act as facilitators for each class.

Children’s Sunday School

The CEM also conducts a regular Bible study program with children
ages 4 to 12 years. It implements child-friendly methods in teaching the
Gospel of Christ, Jesus’ life story and other
valuable lessons from the Bible. This program
also incorporates the Purpose-Driven series as
its main curriculum.
The ministry also
comes up with
various enjoyable
activities that is
integrated in the Bible
study program for the
children. The children
experience an
enjoyable time under the CEM Bible study
program and at the same time learns the
Gospel of Christ.

The Children’s
Sunday School currently has four (4) departments, namely, Beginners,
Primary, Middlers and Juniors which are being handled by ten (10) volunteer
teachers.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)
Being the future members and leaders of the Church, the children play
an important role in the Church. They are seen as the hope of the Church
who will continue the works of Christ not only in Project 7, but in other places
in the Philippines as well. Thus, the CEM organizes an annual summer
Vacation Bible School (VBS), participated in by children ages 4 to 12 years. In
this summer program, the children engage in enriching activities where they
learn the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, biblical stories and valuable
lessons. They are taught of the importance of having Jesus Christ in their
lives. They are also encouraged to have a relationship with God and to
practice the things that they learn from the program in their day-to-day
living.

Outreach to West Riverside Children

Even with the conclusion of the VBS,
students and their parents, mostly residents of
the West Riverside Community, continued to join
us in our Sunday worship. After a few weeks,
however, the Church
noticed a sharp decline
in their attendance.
When asked the reason
for this, a resident
replied that with their
meager resources, they
could not afford to go to
church every Sunday.
Thus, the CEM decided to “bring the Church
to the community.” And on June 2004, the
CEM developed a weekly devotion for the
kids, as an extension of the Children’s Sunday
Teacher Liv (above) with the school program. Led by Teacher Liv Peneyra,
children of West Riverside

and there they learn praise songs, listen to Bible stories and do their

The Church reaches out and shares the Word of God to the community
through the Evangelism Ministry. It is responsible for conceptualizing

members of the Church but also the members of the community to read the
Bible. The Evangelism Ministry, headed by Pastro Ver Palang and assisted by
Bro Noe Obispo, directly supervises the Home Bible Study and the Small
Group Bible study programs.

One of the primary

functions of the Ministry is to
encourage the congregation to

community. It endeavors to inspire the youth to engender a dynamic
relationship with God and to
encourage them to lead a
purpose-driven life. The
Ministry provides activities,
programs and support for the
youth and undertakes to

them so that they may know
the story of Christ’s life and
inspire them to be like Him.
The CYM also encourages
them to reach out to the
members of the community
who have not yet been
enlightened by Christ.

The CYM regularly conducts various programs all throughout the year.

Monthly Youth Fellowship

To strengthen their bond with each other and to welcome new comers
and visitors as well, the Youth holds a fellowship every last Sunday of the
month. Its activities are usually related to the Vision/Mission of the Church
and especially, on the relevant and current issues or needs they face as
growing teenagers and adults.

Berean Nights
To deepen their relationship with God and to better understand God’s
part in their growth as mature Christians, the CYM developed a Bible study
program exclusively for
the teenage and young-adult
members of the Church. Every
Friday night, they gather in the
church grounds and have an
interactive discussion on the
Word of God, group dynamics
and reflection/meditation prayers. It also became an opportunity for them to
invite their “unchurched” friends and introduce God into their lives.

Youth Month
To better understand and experience the different ways one could
serve God, serve others and the Church, the CYM holds a Youth month every
October. For the next five (5) Sundays of October, the Youth will acts as
Deacon, Deaconess and Elder or as a Teacher or Assistant Teacher for the
Children’s Sunday School. Others will also be the Worship leader and
instrumentalists for the Worship service. In this way, they will be able to
further develop their skills, talents and qualities God has given them for their
ministry and prepare themselves for their future roles in the Church.

building.
The Finance Ministry has also set-up an exclusive account to handle the
funds for the church building project

Considering that the Church has placed emphasis on evangelism and

spiritual growth and maturity of the members, it envisages an even bigger
congregation in the coming years. The Church’s untiring efforts for
evangelism have proven that it has greater potential in fortifying its mission
in Quezon City and in extending its activities in different parts of Metro
Manila.

The Church endeavors to continue and strengthen its projects and

activities in Project 7 and in neighboring communities. With this, the Church
believes that it will be able to embrace more people to become believers of
Christ. The Church further seeks to broaden its membership base. It is the
vision of the Church to draw people from all walks of life and inspire them
through the story of Jesus Christ. A new and bigger church building will be
able to make the Church realize this vision.

The growing membership and the evolving set of needs of the

members made the Leadership realize that it is time for a new church
building that will be able to accommodate a larger number of attendees with
adequate and suitable facilities and equipment.

Presently, the Church stands on a 625-square meter lot located at

Bansalangin corner Dangay St, which was procured in the 1960s. With its
strategic location and ample size, the Congregation envisages a four-storey
church, with accommodation capacity of 300 attendees, adequate space for
the different Ministries and with facilities for a pre-school learning center.

The ground floor will house six classrooms for the pre-school learning
center. The ground floor will also have offices for the pastors, a conference
room, a reception area and a lobby. All of the classrooms and the conference
room may be used for varied purposes. The Worship Hall will be located in
the second floor, together with the Women’s Hall Area. The Baptism Area will
also be located in the Worship Hall. The third floor will house a library that
may be used by the members for study and Bible reading. The pastoral
house will be located in the fourth floor.

The classrooms for the pre-school center will also be used for other
Church activities like rooms for Sunday Schools, Bible Study sessions etc.
Presently, some Small Group Sunday school classes are being held inside and
outside of the Worship Hall and in tents as makeshift classrooms. The new
classrooms will enhance the effectiveness of the Bible study sessions by
providing a convenient place for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Moreover, it will encourage more people to attend the Small Group sessions
and other Church activities.
