What we found

We searched for this congregation in Kinshasa and for the name across the wider web. The address you gave does load and belongs to a body calling itself "The Church of Jesus Christ with the Elijah Message, The Assured Way of the Lord, in Africa," but the page itself states it is under construction and tells visitors to ask the administrator for permission before viewing anything. Supporting this, Wikipedia records that the Church of Christ with the Elijah Message - The Assured Way of the Lord was founded in the Democratic Republic of Congo by Apostle Bama wa Mobutu Gloire on 20 August 1994 and incorporated in the United States in 2004, a name matching your contact email. Our attempt to confirm a Facebook page for the Kinshasa group returned only the United States page based in Independence, Missouri (Facebook, elijahmessage.net). The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.

Search conclusion: weak evidence. An independent web search is part of every review; an online page alone does not prove a congregation exists.

The concern is not existence but doctrine: this bod

We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.

Faith.network reviews church signups in good faith, using automated checks of publicly available information at the review date shown above. We have not visited this congregation in person; that this church exists therefore remains an assumption supported by the evidence above, not an established fact.
