 1. LORIMI STATEMENTS

A. PURPOSE, VISION, GOAL, STRATEGY &

COMMITMENT

OUR PURPOSE: Loving God and loving people.

(Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said to him, You shall love the
LORD your God with all your heart, will all your soul, and with
all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And
the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as
yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and
the Prophets.”)

OUR VISION: Winning people for Jesus Christ and making

them His disciples.
(Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them
saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on
earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to
the end of the age.”)

OUR GOAL: To make every believer a leader of leaders.

(2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things that you have heard from me
among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who
will be able to teach others also.”)

OUR STRATEGY: Win, consolidate, disciple and send.

OUR COMMITMENT: Honoring our Leaders.

(Hebrew 13:17 “Obey those who rule over you, and be
submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who
must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief,
for that would be unprofitable for you.”)

 B. LORIMI STATEMENT OF FAITH
(Paghahayag ng Pananampalataya)
1. WE BELIEVE in the one eternal God, Creator and Lord of
the whole world, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who governs
all things according to the purpose of His will. (KAMI AY
NANANAMPALATAYA sa iisang walang hanggang Diyos,
Manlilikha at Panginoon ng sandaigdigan, Ama, Anak at Banal
na Espirito, na Siyang namamahala sa lahat ng bagay sang
ayon sa layunin ng Kanyang kalooban.)
2. WE BELIEVE the divine inspiration, truthfulness and
authority of both Old and New Testament Scriptures in
their entirety as the only written Word of God, without
error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of
faith and practice; and that through the power of God’s
Word, total redemption of mankind could be
accomplished. (KAMI AY NANANAMPALATAYA sa
makalangit na inspirasyon, katotohanan at kapamahalaan ng
Luma at Bagong Tipan na Kasulatan sa kabuuan nito ay
tanging nasulat na Salita ng Diyos, walang kamalian sa lahat
ng ipinahahayag nito, at tanging di matitinag na batas sa
pananampalataya at pagsasakatuparan; at sa pamamagitan ng
kapangyarihan ng Salita ng Diyos, ang ganap na katubusan ng
sangkatauhan ay magaganap.)
3. WE BELIEVE that there is only one Savior, Jesus Christ,
God’s only begotten Son, who died on the cross, took our
place and bore our sins, poverty, sickness and shame; and
that for this reason alone God freely forgives those who
are brought to repentance and faith, and is given
everlasting life. (KAMI AY NANANAMPALATAYA na iisa
lamang ang Tagapagligtas, si Hesu Kristo, bugtong na anak ng
Diyos, na siyang namatay sa krus para sa ating mga
kasalanan, kahirapan, karamdaman at kahihiyan; at sa
ganitong kadahilanan, lubos na pinatatawad ng Diyos ang
sinumang tumatalikod sa kanyang kasalanan at
nananampalataya, at siya ay pagkakalooban ng buhay na
walang hanggan.)
-4-
4. WE BELIEVE in the power of the Holy Spirit, the third
person in the godhead; and that without the Holy Spirit’s
witness to Christ, evangelization and new birth would be
futile. (KAMI AY NANANAMPALATAYA sa kapangyarihan ng
Banal na Espirito, ang ikatlong persona ng pagka Diyos; at
kung kung walang pagsaksi ang Banal na Espirito kay Kristo,
ang pag eebanghelyo at bagong kapanganakan ay walang
saysay.)
5. WE BELIEVE in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the
evidence of speaking in other tongues, as God’s gift to
every repentant sinner. (KAMI AY NANANAMPALATAYA sa
bautismo ng Banal na Espirito na may patunay ng pagsasalita
sa ibang wika, bilang kaloob ng Diyos sa bawat makasalanan
na nagsisisi.)
6. WE BELIEVE the indispensability of evangelism as the
only means to spread the good news that Jesus Christ
died for our sins and was raised from the dead according
to the scriptures. . (KAMI AY NANANAMPALATAYA SA di
masayod na kahalagahan ng pag eebanghelyo bilang tanging
paraan upang maibahagi ang Mabutring Balita na si Hesu
Cristo ay namatay para sa ating mga kasalanan at muling
nabuhay mula sa mga patay sang-ayon sa Kasulatan.)
7. WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ will return personally and
visibly, in power and glory, to consummate His salvation
and judgment. (KAMI AY NANANAMPALATAYA NA si Hesu
Kristo ay muling babalik ng personal at hayagan, taglay ang
kapangyarihan at kaluwalhatian upang dalhin ang kaganapan
ng kanyang kaligtasan at paghatol.)

 4. THE CELL CHURCH ETHICS
Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a
basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the
house.”
Matthew 18:6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who
believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were
hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the
sea.”
REQUIREMENTS OF DISCIPLESHIP
1. Every Disciple should know and understand the
requirements and implications of discipleship before making
a commitment to become a Disciple of the Lord Jesus
Christ led by a pastor or his delegated authority;
2. Every disciple must recognize the importance of the Cell as
the Disciples’ HOME. Therefore, weekly attendance to the
Cell Meeting is a Disciple’s priority. A Disciple can only
exercise the authority to become a Cell Leader as long as
he/she is nourished and receives delegated authority from
his/her Leader.
3. Every Disciple should adopt the principle of good leadership
which states, “A good Leader is a good Follower”;
4. Every Mentor or Disciple-maker shall acknowledge that they
are mere stewards of the people brought by the Lord under
their mentoring care, therefore, no Mentor shall lay any
claim or right for anyone under their care;
MORALITY AND DECENCY
5. Discipleship in a Close Cell is strictly homogenous. (i.e.
men with men leaders and women with women leaders);
6. Since the church is vulnerable for every behavior of its
disciples, therefore only Phileo and Agape relationships are
tolerated amongst disciples of opposite sexes inside and
outside the church premises. Public display of affection
(PDA) is not tolerated among disciples. Persons liable shall
be dealt with accordingly;
-12-
7. Heterogeneous fellowship between cell groups can be done
only with the permission of leaders concerned;
RELATIONSHIPS
8. Building of relationship among cell members is the
responsibility of the cell leader, hence, the cell leader
should be the model of good virtues of a responsible parent;
9. Every mentor is responsible for counseling their mentees,
and every mentee shall be answerable to their mentor.
Cross-cell counseling is not permissible except with the
knowledge and consent of the cell leaders concerned;
10. Every leader shall build a strong relationship bond with
other leaders of the same level, and shall not, in any
circumstance, allow anyone to speak negatively against any
leader.
11. Every Disciple should give the honor and respect due to
their Leaders, as they would give honor and respect to the
Lord.
BEHAVIOR
12. Since a leader is a model in all respect of his/her life,
behavior can positively or negatively affect the name of the
Lord and His Church, hence, every leader is expected to
conduct a behavior becoming as a leader. Any act or
behavior “unbecoming” as a leader shall be dealt with
accordingly.
13. Since decency and positive behavior are major components
of transformation, every Disciple shall use, with utmost
discreetness, the social networking media through internet,
such as email, facebook, tweeter and others. Posting or
publishing of negative and indecent images and messages
shall be dealt with accordingly.

6. ORDAINED PASTORS REGULATIONS
DEFINING LOCAL AND OVERSEAS ORDAINED PASTORS
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE
PROVISIONS. (Embodied in the March 2018 Pastoral Meeting)
As a Church organization, the need for proper management
requires clear definition of our calling as well as putting order in the
execution of our calling. Every secular organization has standards
of practices and administrative provisions for each position, and
every person conscientiously adhere to those standards and
administrative provisions for the benefit of the company's mission
and for his own benefit as well (i.e. You would not want to miss a
day of work in your company). How much more should there be
order in the Embassy of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth,
which is the Church, the home and community of the Ambassadors
of God. Ordained Pastors should be the most orderly people there
are as models of effective Leaders who create impact in others'
lives.
1. LORIMI Organizational Structure falls into two categories:
1. Primary Ministry, which is fulfilling the Great Commission.
(Senior Pastor then Primaries on the same level, 144, 1,728
and so forth). No Assistant Pastor, Youth Pastor as this
limits the Church potential of multiplication.
2. Secondary Ministry, which are Support Ministries (Senior
Pastor then Finance Team, Admin Team, Celebration
Sunday Team).
2. Every Pastor ordained under the banner of LORIMI must
understand the Principle of hierarchy of authority and
power (Matthew 8:9). To exercise authority, one must be
under the authority of God's delegated Leader over that person.
1. Purpose of Ordination. The purpose of ordination is
commissioning a leader to fulfill the office of an under
shepherd of the Lord over His flocks entrusted to the leader.
It is a trust and stewardship of precious souls whom the
Lord shed His own blood for and for whom the leader would
be accountable to God.
-17-
 2. The Performance of Ordination. We were not ordained for
ourselves nor do we obtain a title as pastors for our own
personal use or advantage, hence, the title is inseparable
with the function. Ordained Pastors should be functional
leaders, not positional leaders. Function is the proof of the
position and not otherwise. (Many are dysfunctionally
positioned and still heads up.)
3. Protocol of Ordination. Ordination under the LORIMI
ministry carries with it the leader's submission to the Rules,
Regulations and the undertaking of Training directives from
the Leadership of the LORIMI organization. Ordained
Pastors must manifest faithful allegiance to the LORIMI
Organization and give due honor and respect to the
leadership of the Organization.
3. Ordained pastors should understand the premises of their
ordination, thus:
1. Loyalty and Allegiance: First to God, next to the ministry
of The Lord Reigns International Ministries;
2. Compliance: They do understand, protect and live by the
Statement of Faith and the Rules and Regulations adopted
by the ministry;
3. Qualifications: They do possess the character, training
and manifested their ability to model and lead others in the
spirit of humility and service.
4. Mission: They are commissioned to fulfill God's divine
mandate (Great Commission) under the LORIMI adopted
systems, processes and strategies;
5. Training & Equipping: They are willing to undergo
updating and upgrading of discipleship skills through
training processes provided by the ministry;
6. Regulating Provisions: They understand that the practice
of Ministers' Office in LORIMI churches are conditional and
subject to the above terms, non compliance thereof shall be
subject to revocation of License and Authority.
-18-
4. The Senior Pastors' roles:
Every local church has its own Senior Pastor, whose primary
Duties are embodied in the ministry's Rules and Regulations.
New Roles of Senior Pastors in the Vision would bring about
success in fulfilling the Great Commission.
5. The Ordained Pastors' roles (Under a Senior Pastor):
1. To support the Senior Pastor and receive instructions on
doctrines, discipleship process, leadership and church
administration.
2. To diligently prepare and train for future outreach pioneering
work or deployment, through the Trainings and Equipping
processes prescribed by the Ministry.
3. To undertake tasks assigned by the Senior Pastor from time
to time.
6. REGULATING DOCTRINAL AND ETHICAL COMPLIANCE
BY ISSUING LICENSE.
1. To upgrade the quality of service and regulate the conduct
of every ordained minister, the Ministry shall start issuing a
License to every ordained minister with a term of three (3)
years renewable or revocable before the term as the case
may be. This is for the enhancement, promotion and
protection of the ministry and the worker as well.
2. Every Ordained Minister shall receive continuous doctrinal
nourishment and ministerial equipping which shall be part of
the requirements for license renewal (Continuing Pastoral
Education).

3. Types and treatment of Church Income
The church is classified as a non-stock, non-profit organization
and thrives on the regular tax / contributions of its members in
the form of tithes, offerings, pledges, donations, seeding and
other form of voluntary contributions.
a. Tithes. This is a Scripturally mandated form of taxation of
Kingdom Citizens to support the ministry operations of a
local church and to help the needy of the community. It is
holy unto the Lord (Leviticus 27:30). It is the inheritance of
the Levitical priests / Kingdom workers (Numbers 18:26).
The Tithe is the Lord's, and paying our tithe is the measure
of our obedience to God. This portion of church income is
subject to the Tithe of Tithes which should be remitted to
the designated Ministry Center (Section 4 of LORIMI Rules
and Regulations.)
b. Offerings. This is part of our freewill giving after we have
taken out the tithe from all our increase. Our offerings
measure our generosity for the Kingdom works. The word
"offerings" was mentioned in the Bible more than 260 times
referring to giving to God.
c. Pledges, Donations, Seed. These are basically freewill
offerings we make for specific purposes, and these should
be allocated for the specific purpose or person the giving
was intended for.
4. Treatment of Income / Expenses
a. Treatment of Church Income. Basically, as a ministry
policy, all income of a local church are classified as to
nature (Tithes/ Offerings/ Pledges / Etc.) to be used for the
propagation of the Gospel cause. These are not subject to
-23-
 income taxation, but should be reported annually in a
prescribed government format.
b. Treatment of Church Expenses. Tithes and offerings are
used for Kingdom Workers' support, especially for the
pastors and other workers in full-time ministry. The support
should be adequate for a decent and sustainable living
condition of the full-time worker, but should also consider
the capability of the local church to sustain its operation.
Double honor is desirable for a deserving worker of the
Kingdom (1Timothy 5:17), as long as the local church can
afford it. Other operating expenses (rent, utilities, transport,
supplies) fall under regular Operating Expenses as well.
Refer to LORIMI Chart of Accounts for Income and Expense
Classification. Pledges, donations and seeds, as
mentioned, should be disbursed for its specific purpose and
allocations.
5. Compensation of Church Workers
In keeping with the Scriptures which specifically provide for the
Workers of the Kingdom:
1Corinthians 9:9-14 "For it is written in the law of Moses, “You
shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen
God is concerned about?... 14 Even so the Lord has
commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from
the gospel."
1Timothy 5:18 "For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle
an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy
of his wages.”
The leadership of the ministry has taken the stand to care for
and support first and foremost, the Pastor of a Local Church. In
which case, the starting support in the form of "Love Gift",
should be at par with the minimum level of a supervisory
position with the secular organization as dictated by law, and if
the local church financial condition could afford it.
In the case of the Philippine Operation, a pastor of a pioneering
church should receive a starting monthly Love Gift of no less
than P5,000, which should be gradually increased as local
finances become stable.

B. INVOLVING IN BODY OF CHRIST MOVEMENTS
(January 16, 2020)
It is necessary and inevitable that our ministry would be involved in
Body of Christ movements or activities in our respective
communities. However, we need to observe certain guidelines and
protocols to avoid unintentional conflicts in joining such movements
or activities, because any conflict between churches and ministries
would eventually result to hurting the Body of Christ and hurting the
Lord Himself.
1. First consideration would be, our involvement in any such
activities or movements should not conflict with LORIMI
designated National schedule. (Refer to Rules and
Regulations, Section 5);
2. Our ministry undoubtedly is growing and would continue to
grow, but no amount of growth should cause for dissipation of
our commitment for our Family-Ministry;
3. If any of LORIMI Chapter Church desires to involve in a local
movement other than local Pastoral Fellowships, it is desirable
to obtain consent from the Leadership of our organization, in
due respect of leadership and for proper guidance;
4. Involvement in any activity or movement should not place
undue pressure among members’ commitment with LORIMI;
should not compromise LORIMI’s internal affairs; and should
not affect our Ministry projects or finances;
5. As the Lord’s under-shepherd, pastors should know the
boundaries of movement commitments, and should protect the
flock from falling prey of deception and proselyting;

avoid confusion among the flocks;
