For the wider area Sumandig Christian Church- Bulacan, Philippines - Richard O. Balangon Iβm Richard O. Balangon. I have engaged now into an oversight of a group which is Charismatic in background. Itβs been two years now that I regularly preach and teach in this congregation. They only have a part time pastor because this group is yet still unable to support the ministry. I am currently studying at Grace Ministerial Academy of Cubao Reformed Baptist Church. Iβm into my five years in this academy. I subscribed to the Reformed Theology and holds to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith as expression of my belief and practice.

We are now on the process of covenanted church membership. Also, of some changes according to the New Testament church order such as Biblical church government; Regulative principle of worship; Christ-centered preaching; mandates of the Ordinance and Discipline; Evangelism...
In March, the church will have a Thanksgiving Service for 17 years of existence.
