WELCOME TO PLATFORM CHURCH: FAMILY OF REST
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE
HEBREWS 4:2-3; 9-11, GENESIS 2:1-3; 26:22, JOSHUA 21:44, EXODUS 33:14 & MATTHEW 11:28-30
God’s mandate upon this commission (PLATFORM CHURCH) through God’s Servant, Apostle Darlington Steve Omeiza is clear, direct, simple yet profound; it is to “bring His sons and daughters to the REST He has provided through His Son’s finished work”. We’ve been given Rest from toiling, Rest from slavery, Rest from abuse, and Rest from all life oppression and deception of the enemy.
Platform Church is a home of love and REST, we are here to serve you and that is why we can confidently say that “the rested life is a reality, asks us how”? Isaiah 54:14.
Life can be extremely challenging, but fear not – God has a new covenant with His people and that is to give them REST in all areas of their lives. God said to Abraham in Genesis 13:15 ‘as far as your eyes can see’. Can you see Rest in your challenges? If the answer is No, why don’t you join us in one of our services and see God give you rest?
At Platform Church, the outcome of an active member of the church is that we get the result is immediate, hope comes alive, and faith to pursue is released within us. We understand how to use systems, principles, and the finished work of Christ to our advantage. We operate with God and the world from the rested point in Christ. We at Platform call ourselves “GODS PLATFORM” to establish His mandate on earth as kings and priests. Revelation 5:10.
Platform Church Global Vision:
Vision is the unfolding of a divine plan and purpose for the church (Platform Church) to impact the world around us. When a divine plan is unfolded, faith is naturally stirred up. Proverb 29:18: where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Vision is a faith catalyst as well as helps one to fulfill destiny; life and the church will remain a struggle without a clear vision. A proper clear vision when it is present, faith comes alive, and speed and success are guaranteed.
VISION
Building a Rested Life family through word of faith in God activates the hopes in people and operating it from Christ finished work on the cross
MISSION
To build a strong Godly family using biblical principles in all aspects of our lives.

PLATFORM DRIVING PURPOSE
The 14 pillars driving our vision are:
Reach | Connect Families | Develop | Disciple | Volunteer - Services | Accountable | Grow | Relationship | Worship | Christ like | Impact | Empowering | Leaders | Marketplace
THE PLATFORM PURPOSE STATEMENT
We are REACHING out to CONNECT FAMILIES to Jesus. DEVELOPING and creating DISCIPLES of God, equipping them to VOLUNTEER in the things of the Church. Individuals become ACCOUNTABLE in service to God and man as they GROW a deeper RELATIONSHIP with the Father in WORSHIP while becoming CHRISTLIKE. Platform Church members IMPACT their world thereby EMPOWERING people to become LEADERS like them in the MARKETPLACE or where ever they find themselves.
OUR 4 GS
Grow the families
Guide the families
Give the families
Guard the families
We hold each family accountable for their success, and to the best of our ability, keep them stable with resources that will help them grow in God, and as a unit, they impact the community and nation. We believe that with the help of the Holy Spirit, our nation and continent can be better than what we see, we stand with our families to be change agents as they take territories for the kingdom so as to establish God’s mandate on Earth. Platform Church is committed to working hand in hand with families so as to serve the purpose of God and make a significant difference in people’s lives.
OUTWARD FOCUS
We believe that our church must always be reaching out to every opportunity to reach people to Christ. We always try to keep the circle of our fellowship open with a friendly, accepting attitude that welcomes and includes newcomers. We have a connection time in all services to build a bridge to newcomers. Response time at the end of each service is the most important part of our service as the opportunity to welcome and receive people into the body of Christ and engrafting them to the family of rest.
