The principles of The Divine Healer's Church (TDHC) originate from scripture and are therefore in accordance with the word of God:

 

*Everyone is worthy of salvation

*The gospel must be preached to the ends of the earth. Christian mission requires us, as disciples, to share the love of Christ with the world around us

*Jesus Christ expects full devotion from all His disciples

*The Bible is the word of God, relevant to every time and place

*We must strive for excellence in all that we do; always the head and never the tail

The Divine Healer's Church was originally formed by the late Brother Gilbert A. Lawson in Accra Ghana in February 1954. On June 27th, 2000, a group of members in the Tri-State area of the United States, met at a private residence in Roselle, New Jersey to discuss the formation of a chapter of The Divine Healer's Church here in America. After having made some decisions, the group decided to fast for one week, at the end of which the chapter was launched. The U.S. chapter of The Divine Healer's Church was therefore officially formed on Sunday, August 27th, 2000. Church Service was held every 3rd Sunday of the month for a while. It was then increased to twice a month. As the membership grew, the congregation decided that a bigger place was needed to accommodate the congregation. By the grace of God, a place of worship was secured at 516 Prospect Street in Maplewood on January 1st 2001.

 

Since then, we have been able to break new grounds and rise to higher heights. The church now has a place of worship at 245 Fabyan Place, Newark, New Jersey. TDHC has been growing steadily with about 3-4 new members joining every month. By the end of the year 2005, the membership has exceeded 150. Besides, new groups have been formed within the church which includes the elders numbering eight, the Youth Movement has 30 members, the Women’s Fellowship with about 20 members, Men's Fellowshp with 12 members, Builing & Uplifting Individual Leaders of Divine Today (B.U.I.L.D.T) Ministry with 10 members, the Welfare Committee with six members and the Children's Ministry with 10 members. Praise God for all the efforts of members in the formation of these groups. It is our prayer that the Lord will continue to bless the church and make it grow from grace to grace.
