CHAPTER ONE: BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND
The meetings for prayers began in the overseer's house from 2013 were the overseer and the wife would meet for prayers following the revelation that the overseerreceived of a suspended bible in the clouds and the office calling, in which the Lord had called him was known. In the year 2014, neighbors joined in daily submitting to the power of the Holy Spirit. Praying for each other and praying for the nation. It was from this moment that the church's original faith that is God's power to redeem man and society was discovered to be resident in Jesus Christ Son of the Father who sent the Holy Spirit into the world as the agent of salvation. It is this faith - that God's power is directly available to everyone to save, cleanse, empower and heal - that gave the Exodus Church of All Nations (ECOAN) its birth.
Since its establishment, the ECOAN as per the direction of the Holy Spirit registered with the Registrar of Society on 30th March 2015. The church continued holding interdenominational prayers until Sunday 7th June 2015 when the church held its first Sunday Service following an agreement and a resolve to start meeting on Sundays. This occasion gave birth to Exodus Church of All Nations with only few people of less than twenty (20) in attendance.
Since its inception to date, the church has grown with over 120 active members and 30 participants who attend Sunday Services.
The church was launched on 5th of December 2020 as a Five-Fold Ministry after laying a foundation for five (5) Years. The Launch was graced by Bishop David Masupa Independent Churches of Zambia President and Bishop Dr. Charles Mumba from Christ the King International in Ndola.
In 2023, the ECOAN embarked on the process of reviewing its Strategic Plan. The 2023 - 2025 Strategic Plan is anchored on five (5) Strategic Pillars or Areas of Strategic Focus. The five strategic pillars are:
- Holiness and Intercession
- Evangelism and Church Growth
- Care and Spiritual Support
- Communication, Internal Processes, and Knowledge Management
- Institutional/Church capacity
1.2 INTRODUCTION
According to Article 4 of the Church Constitution, Exodus Church of All Nations believes in the following.
- Faith
- There is but one living and true God, everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness,
Maker, and Preserver of all things, both visible and invisible. And in the unity of this Godhead, there are three Persons of one substance of eternal being, and equal in holiness, justice, wisdom, power, and dignity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
1.2.1.3That the Son, who is the Word of the Father, the eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; so that two whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and mankind were joined together in one Person, never to be divided, whereof is one Christ, the same God and perfect man, who actually suffered, was crucified, died, and buried, to reconcile the Father to us, and to make atonement, not only for our actual guilt, but also for the original sin which is the separation of man from God the creator.
1.2.1.4 That Jesus Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again his actual body, with all things pertaining to the perfection of man's nature and ascended into heaven and there sits until he shall return to judge all men at the last day. (Luke 24:38-39).
- The Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty and glory with the Father and the Son and eternal God.
- The verbal and plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, known as the Bible, composed of sixty-six books, and divided into two (2) parts, the Old and the New Testaments. That the Bible is the Word of God, the full and complete revelation of the plan and history of redemption.
- That eternal life with God in heaven is a portion of the reward of the finally righteous; and that everlasting banishment from the presence of the Lord and unending torture in hell are the wages of persistent wickedness (Matthew 25:46; Psalm 9:17; Revelation 21:7, 8).
- That Jesus Christ shed his blood for the remission of sins that are past, for the regeneration of penitent sinners, and for salvation from sin and from sinning (Romans 3:25; 1 John 3:5-10; Ephesians 2:1-10).
- Teaching and firmly maintaining the scriptural doctrine of justification by faith alone (Romans 5:1, Heb 11:1-3).
1.2.1.10 That Jesus Christ shed His blood for the complete cleansing of the justified believer from
all indwelling sin and from its pollution, subsequent to regeneration (1 John 1:7-9).
- While sanctification is initiated in regeneration and consummated in glorification, it includes a definite, instantaneous work of grace achieved by faith subsequent to regeneration (Acts 26:18; 1 John 1:9). Sanctification delivers from the power and dominion of sin. It is followed by lifelong growth in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:16; 2 Peter 3:18).
- That the Pentecostal baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is obtainable by a definite act of appropriating faith on the part of the fully cleansed believer, and the initial evidence of the reception of this experience is speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:5; 2:1-4; 8:17; 10:44-46; 19:6).
- Divine healing as in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4, 5; Matthew8:16, 17; Mark 16:14-18; James 5:14-16; Exodus 15:26). Belief in the imminent, personal, premillennial second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 3:10-14; Matthew 24:29-44, 2 Timothy 4:8). Jesus Christ will come again, just as He went away(Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians. 4:16-17).
- It is the responsibility of every believer to dedicate his life to conducting the work of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Acts 1:8).
- Water Baptism
- All who unite with any local church on profession of faith in Christ should further confess Christ by receiving water baptism, by immersion, as early as possible.
- Water Baptism
1.2.2.1 Water Baptism is intended only for those who have professed faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ. It is a God-given illustration of each Christian's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. Obedience to this ordinance demonstrates the believer's public confession of this fact to others.
- Baptism shall be administered according to the divine command of our blessed Lord, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Spirit)." In accordance with Christ great commission as recorded in Mathew 28:19-20.
- Holy Communion
1.2.3.1 Holy Communion commemorates our redemption by Christ's death. It points to Calvary
and to the return of Jesus, whose blood cleanses us from all sin and prepares us for His blessed return (Matthew 26:17-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30).
- The bread and the wine should be administered to all Christians (only unfermented wine
and unleavened bread should be used).
- The Lord's table should be open to all who love him, and all of the Lord's.
- Children should be invited to His Table to commemorate together the death of their common Lord. This shall be administered once per quarter.
1.3 PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE 2023 -2025 STRATEGIC PLAN
The 2023 - 2025 Strategic plan is necessary to give the required direction to the ECOAN so that it will focus its efforts, resources and give direction to all people associated with the Church to know what it aspires to achieve. In this strategic plan, the ECOAN has set out its strategic direction with the vision, mission and core values and its strategic priorities.

1.4 STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
The development of this strategic Plan and Budget took effort, professional commitment and dedication from various stakeholders who were both internal and external.
