Description

The Reformed Congregational

The Samoan church during the missionary period engaged itself in the “social redemption of humanity”. This vision was based on the church’s understanding of God’s sovereignty. It saw the divine purpose of redemption not in individual terms only but also in corporate, social and political terms. The newly acquired faith had its focus on the transformation of life and society. That legacy remains a motivating force in the nation’s idealism as well as in the church’s commitment to active social efforts. The church emphasises the idea of “Fa’afaigofie, Fa’ataugofie, Fa’asa’oloto” or “Simple, Humble, Free Worship”
