Who we are

Rooted in faith, growing in grace.

Founded on November 12, 1947, Binakayan IEMELIF Church is a local congregation of the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista en las Islas Filipinas — the first evangelical church founded by Filipinos, established in 1909 under the leadership of Bishop Nicolas Zamora.

For 78 years here on Sgt. Legaspi Street in Binakayan, Kawit, we have carried that heritage forward: a warm, Christ-centered community where every person — young or old, new or long-time member — is welcomed as family.

But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 24:15

What we hold dear

Four pillars of our church life

Everything we do flows from our love for God and our love for one another.

Worship

We gather with grateful hearts to honor God in song, prayer, and the preaching of His Word.

“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

John 4:24

The Word

Scripture is our foundation. We study it together so it may shape how we think, speak, and live.

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

Psalm 119:105

Fellowship

We are a family in Christ — carrying one another’s burdens and celebrating every blessing together.

“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”

Hebrews 10:24

Service

We love our neighbors in Binakayan and beyond through acts of kindness, care, and generosity.

“Serve one another humbly in love.”

Galatians 5:13
