HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN
KUWAIT
The Christian Church in Kuwait is an independent , non denominational , non – sectarian,
FULL
GOSPEL , Church , anchored on the WORD OF GOD.
CCK IS A PILLAR AND SUPPORT OF THE TRUTH – 1 TIM 3:15
The Christian
Church in Kuwait is one of the nine ( 9) local filipino Church in Kuwait.
Situated first at trhe Kaibigan Restaurant and
after a few months of gathering together , the Pastor and the Elders of this Church had to give way to the celebration of
the Ramadan , the Holy month of the Muslims , in which the congregation has to be transferred to the Carlton Hotel Ballroom
for almost seven (7) months of praise and worship at the said hotel. The CCK has to go back to the Kaibigan Restaurant for
some reason to consider.
While there are changes have taken place , one very important factor has remained constant , the
CCK FAMILY, be it a Pastor, an Deacon , worker or a member , has remained warm, simple , humble loving and compassionate.

family and secret devotions ; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances.
To walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithfull in our engagments, and exemplacy in our deporment;
to avoid all tattling , backbiting, and excessive anger ; to abstain from the sale of , And use of, intoxicating drinks as
