Next Steps at EOM
Whether you are ready to become part of our church family or to dedicate your child to God, everything you need to know is right here.
Right Hand of Fellowship
The “right hand of fellowship” is a biblical expression that means acceptance, partnership and unity among believers: welcoming new members and partners into the family of God.
The apostles James, Peter and John gave Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship as a sign that they recognised and supported their ministry.
“We accept you, we stand with you, and we are working together for God’s work.”

Funerals & memorials for active partners
EOM hosts funerals and memorial services for active EOM partners who have taken RHOF. This does not include spouses, children or other relatives who are not active EOM partners.
- The family must first visit the EOM Office before consulting funeral parlours for times.
- All details and the programme are discussed through the EOM Office only, and the office protocol must be respected.
- The EOM Office assigns a preacher for all events related to the funeral.
- The building is not always available for memorials. No memorial or comforter services are hosted on Wednesday or Thursday nights.
- EOM sets its own process, and the family must respect the time and rules.
- The family is responsible for flowers, tent, photo frames, easel stands and all other funeral arrangements.
- Clusters and Zone Ministers still support the family throughout.
Being a non-active partner
Certain pastoral services and partner benefits are reserved for active partners in good standing. Pastoral Care Services will no longer be extended to partners who have not been active for six (6) months or more, or who have left the church without any communication with their Zone Minister.
If you would like to restore your active status or need clarification, please contact your Zone Minister as soon as possible.
Personal and business matters between members
The Ministry does not get involved in any personal or business financial transactions between members. Any financial agreements, loans, investments or business dealings are entered into at the members’ own discretion and responsibility, and the Ministry will not mediate, arbitrate or be held liable for any disputes arising from them.
The Ministry does not recommend or endorse any legal professionals or legal services. We encourage members to exercise wisdom, transparency and due diligence in all personal and business matters.
