The Church was founded by the late Apostle and Dr NL Khorommbi of Sibasa Makwarela. The name is derived from the scripture, “Titus 2:11 for the grace of GOD that brings salvation has appeared to all men” which forms a slogan for the church. The word CHARIS is originated from the Greek word KARIS, meaning GRACE.
