Our Mission is simple: Reach, Raise, Release, Repeat. Founded in May of 2025, with a clear mandate from God, Vertical Church is reaching one of the Philippines’ largest and oldest metropolitan areas in the country. Home to over 3.2 million in the direct metropolitan area, Cebu City is currently suffering greatly from the bondages of idolatry, generational poverty, and sexual sin. Although religious, only 5% of the Cebuano population confesses a born again relationship with Jesus as Lord. We call this a city that’s “Ripe for Revival”!
Pastor Ken Chickk has over 20 years of pastoral ministry experience in the US, where by God’s grace, after being a youth pastor for a decade, he planted a church with just 4 people. That church currently has almost 2,000 in weekly attendance. We believe, because of the sheer numbers of people in such a condensed area here in Cebu City, that the potential, by God’s mercy, is something much greater than what he saw happen in America. We believe God has called us to this precise location because He’s getting ready to ignite transformation and pour out His Spirit in this region for His glory!
As stated earlier, the location where we have planted our church is steeped in poverty and sin, with offerings averaging only 6 to 12 dollars usd weekly. We believe poverty is just one of the strongholds that God is going to set our menbers free from but until that is broken please consider helping by your prayerful monthly partnership.
Thank you in advance.
