We Are
The Teens Church at Winners Chapel Manjaikunda, The Gambia is designed to reach out to our teenagers with the liberating message of faith to build them up for a glorious future. It is common knowledge that there is wide spread decadence within the teenagers of our land. However, contrary to that moral erosion, God is set to raise men and women of honor and glory from among them. It is with this at heart that our teen’s church tirelessly pursues the liberation mandate as it concerns the teenagers in the language that they understand and relate to, losing them from the decadence and setting them up for a destiny of glory.
