About Us


Welcome to Uphill Chapel International.
We, the members of Uphill Chapel International, united in faith and committed to the advancement of God’s Kingdom, establish this constitution to govern our church in accordance with the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Inspired by the scriptural call to “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14), we strive to grow spiritually
and overcome challenges, both as individuals and as a community of believers. Recognizing the importance of holistic development—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—we embrace our mission to love God, love people and changing our world with the message of Christ. We are mandated to elevate
lives, transform communities, and shine the light of Christ in every sphere of influence.
As a church standing on the firm foundation of God’s Word, we seek to embody the love, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ in all our endeavors, aiming
to build a Christ-centered, vibrant, and growing congregation.
By adopting this constitution, we affirm our commitment to serve the Lord with excellence, unity, and integrity, always seeking to rise and flourish in the divine purpose God has set for us as Uphill Chapel International.
We acknowledge the need for the Holy Spirit’s guidance in all that we do, as we ascend together toward spiritual maturity and eternal victory in Christ.
UPHILL
The church is known as Uphill Chapel International. “Uphill” because, Jesus’ journey to
Calvary, where He was crucified, involved literally walking uphill, bearing the cross. The act
of going uphill to Calvary symbolizes the ultimate sacrifice and redemption through
suffering. “Chapel” because we are committed to the edification and encouragement of our
fellow brothers and sisters in love.
