Naga United Village Baptist Church (NUVBC) celebrated its golden jubilee on the theme, “transformed towards greater goal”, with general secretary, Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC), Rev. Dr. Zelhou Keyho as the speaker, here, on Thursday.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. Zelhou said that if people were to believe God as the head and Christ as the owner of the Church, they must listen to Him and that it should be God who should set agendas for the Church in order to have His rightful place.
He exhorted how believers should ponder whether God was pleased with their agenda since unless God helped, there was no hope.
Delivering the welcome address, executive secretary, CBCC, Rev. Khrotso Mero acknowledged pioneers of the Church for their selfless service and commitment.

We are what we are today because of God’s love, he stated.
