OUR MINISTRY

Welcome to Deliverance Christian Center, where our unwavering principle is that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This eternal truth forms the bedrock of our faith and the foundation of our ministry. Under the anointed leadership of Apostle J.L. Setzer, Sr., we are a community devoted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, embracing His teachings, His love, and His transformative power in every aspect of our lives.

For over 45 years, Apostle Setzer has been a visionary leader, dedicating his life to the work of the Lord. As the Founder and Senior Pastor of Deliverance Christian Center Church of God in Gastonia, North Carolina, he has shepherded our congregation with wisdom, compassion, and a deep spiritual insight. His ministry is not confined to our local community; it extends globally, reaching the hearts and souls of people in Ghana, West Africa, Jamaica, and beyond. Through these missions, we bring the light and love of Jesus to those in need, fulfilling our call to make disciples of all nations.

Our church is more than just a place of worship; it is a sanctuary of hope, healing, and transformation. We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring about signs, wonders, and miracles, as evidenced in our services and throughout our ministry. Each gathering at Deliverance Christian Center is marked by heartfelt worship, powerful preaching, and the tangible presence of God. We come together to celebrate His goodness, seek His guidance, and experience His miraculous works in our lives.

At the heart of our ministry is a commitment to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. We are dedicated to making disciples who live out their faith in practical ways, showing love to God and to one another. Our community is diverse, welcoming people from all walks of life who share a common desire to know Jesus more intimately and to make Him known. Here, you will find a family of believers who support, encourage, and uplift one another, walking together on this incredible journey of faith.

Our outreach programs and missions are an integral part of who we are. We believe in taking the Gospel beyond the walls of our church, reaching out to the lost, the hurting, and the broken. Whether it's through our local community initiatives or our international missions, we strive to embody the love of Christ in tangible ways. We support various charitable activities, provide resources to those in need, and offer spiritual guidance and mentoring to countless individuals around the world.

Deliverance Christian Center is a place where you can grow in your relationship with God and discover your God-given purpose. We offer a range of ministries and programs designed to meet the needs of our congregation, from children’s and youth ministries to adult discipleship and senior care. Our goal is to equip every believer to live out their faith boldly and effectively, impacting their families, communities, and the world for Jesus Christ.

We invite you to join us at Deliverance Christian Center, where Jesus Christ is Lord and His love reigns supreme. Whether you are seeking spiritual growth, a deeper understanding of God’s Word, or a community where you can experience genuine fellowship and support, you will find a home here. Together, we will witness the fulfillment of God's promises, celebrate His faithfulness, and proclaim His unchanging truth: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
