Patriarch Nanguy Adjaco Faustin Emphasizes Faith’s Role in Church’s Ecclesial Mission

Patriarch Nanguy Adjaco Faustin, president of the Church of Christ-Mission Harris, emphasized the central role of faith in the Church’s mission during a recent worship service. The event, held on February 8, 2026, at the William Wadé Harris Temple in Abia-Gnambo, Abidjan-Port-Bouët, focused on the theme “Love and unity for the growth of the Church of Christ.” Speaking to an assembly of faithful and dignitaries from various regions, Adjaco highlighted that faith is not merely a personal devotion but the essential force driving the Church’s engagement with society.

Adjaco expressed gratitude to God for the new pastoral year, urging members to ground all initiatives—social, educational, or spiritual—in unwavering faith. “Without God we can do absolutely nothing. It is the Spirit who revives and leads everything,” he stated, encouraging the congregation to seek divine guidance for the year ahead. He described the occasion as a time of consecration and orientation, reinforcing the Church’s commitment to aligning its efforts with God’s will.

The leader of the Church of Christ Mission Harris also acknowledged the growth of the Harrist community across West Africa, including in Ghana, Benin, and Togo. He noted the strengthening of the missionary presence in Côte d’Ivoire, where the faith has taken root and flourished. This expansion reflects the Church’s ongoing mission to spread its teachings and support its congregations in the region.
