(1) Metro Manila Church, (2) Antipolo Church, (3) Cauayan Church, (4) Legazpi Church, and (5) Cebu Church. And then after April, from May to September, to expand it to 12 Churches and eventually make all 17 Major Churches Big Church with a minimum of 200 Regular members by the end of this year 2024.
The 5 Major National Departments established, namely: Church Growth Department, Youth Department, Blessed Family Department, Data Management Department, and General Affairs Department, provided valuable insights and strategies on how churches can achieve better results by studying each area’s situation.
