In the Beginning ......

In 2016, Pastor Geoffrey Okot and his wife Mrs. Sharon Okot were moved by the Holy Spirit to take salvation, healing and hope to the people of Northern Uganda their home town; a land that was ravaged the Lord’s Resistance Army conflict for more than 2 decades. The conflict led by Joseph Koch displaced over 2 million people and tens of thousands were brutally kidnapped as sex slaves or child soldiers, mutilated and killed.

Arriving in Koch Goma village on 19th April 2016 with his wife, he identified himself with the existing local churches, and joined Christ Revival Church temporarily. Five months later, he organized the first meeting of Thou Art The Christ (25th September 2016) bringing different pastors, believers and friends to share his vision and also draw a tentative action plan. An Interim committee of 7 members headed by Pastor Geoffrey was formed and all the pastors pledged to support the formation of said ministry

Community Outreach

2016-2019

By 2019, the Classroom block had become too small to accommodate the congregation. This forced the leaders of the Church to seek for a rented hall at Villanova Park, Koch Goma Town Council, Nwoya district where the Church is currently located.

On 06th October 2019, the Church having completed all the necessary documentation and legal framework organized a launch that was officiated by Chairman LC III of Koch Goma Town Council, Hon Okullu John Bosco and the Chairman National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches of Nwoya district Rev Okumu Morris Christopher

The same year, Thou Art The Christ started Students Discipleship Programs at Skyland Academy Secondary School, Market Evangelism at Koch Goma Market and Hospital Visitations at Koch Goma Health Centre IV, proclaiming the Gospel and salvation found in Jesus Christ. Consequently, many people started gathering at the Pastor’s home for spiritual counseling, bringing the sick and demon possessed for prayers and deliverance.

By the end of 2017, the gathering had grown and transformed itself into a meaningful fellowship. In 2018, Skyland Academy Secondary School offered a classroom block for a temporary place of worship. The same year in February, the Lord being pleased with the progress of Thou Art The Christ provided a monthly financial support through His Daughter’s Meekness a Christian organization in California, USA. This support though limited set the foundational and legal framework of the Church hence financing registration processes and all other official and operational requirements

In 2020 during the Covid 19 Pandemic, the organization acquired two acres of land in Hima Store village of Koch Goma Town Council, Nwoya District of Northern Uganda with the contributions of members. From that time till now, God has been very faithful to the ministry and the ministry has constructed its headquarters as one of the best churches in Nwoya district and Northern Uganda

1. The Sure Word Bible School
