OUR Vision
Our Core Values (K.I.N.G.D.O.M)
K – Kingdom First
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…” (Matthew 6:33)
Everything we do prioritizes God’s rule, reign, and agenda above personal, cultural, or denominational kingdoms.
I – Intimate Intercessory Worship with God
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” (Mark 12:30)
Deep, authentic relationship with the Father through prayer, worship, and the Word of God, as the foundation of all Kingdom life.
N – New Creation Identity
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
We live from our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God in Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, not from performance or past brokenness.
G – Gospel of the Kingdom
“This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world…” (Matthew 24:14)
We proclaim and demonstrate the full gospel: salvation, healing, deliverance, and the present reality of God’s reign.
D – Discipleship that Multiplies
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19)
Every believer is equipped, empowered, and sent to raise up others who will do the same—rapid, reproducible discipleship.
O – Obedience-Based Living
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)
Radical obedience to Jesus’ teachings and the leading of the Holy Spirit, even when it’s costly or counter-cultural.
M – Mission as Kingdom Citizens and Family
We are a spiritual citizens of God’s Kingdom and as a family on mission together “See how they love one another.” (John 13:35)
Unity, honor, covenant relationships, and doing the works of the Kingdom together as the Body of Christ
OUR HISTORY
It is an undeniable fact that everything starts in an idea. The whole universe was a product of God’s idea. Ideas which progressed into concepts and which eventually were implemented are what dictate much of our culture and lifestyle today.
It was in the latter part of 2014 that church leaders of the same mind related to God’s revelation about His kingdom came together and shared their related ideas. After thorough sharing of thoughts and ideas the first Kingdom of God Seminar was agreed upon and conducted at JD Road-house Function Rooms Gen. Luna St., Iloilo City.
In the process of evaluating the result of the first Kingdom of God
seminar, another idea came out, that is, to train interested kingdom citizens to become adept in knowledge of kingdom truths.
This idea was conceived over a cup of coffee at De Leonian Coffee Shop located at Iloilo Central Market, Iloilo City where Pastors Tony Carnaje, Nelson Nacionales and Abner Batan met together by royal divine appointment.
On that historical day, Pastor Tony met Pastor Abner to get an Official Receipt related to one of Jesus Reigns’ purchases. While they were sipping their hot coffee, Pastor Nelson passed by, looking for decorative materials for their church. As he sat down with the two, and talked about a lot of things that God was doing in the city, the idea of starting a kingdom training institution came up and before they parted ways, the same was sealed and was eventually given birth in the year 2017.
The name Center for Kingdom Studies (CKS) was conceptualized by Ptra. Ma. Zilda Batan, wife of Pastor Abner. The same is carried today as the name of this training institution focused on studies related to the Kingdom of God.
The likeminded pastors were respectfully and fondly addressed as “kings”. The three “kings” above were later joined by another two, namely, Pastors Harnold Peñacerrada and Nickson Dionson. These five “kings” took turn in teaching kingdom subjects to CKS students. With the passing away of Ptr. Nelson Nacionales in 2024, Ptr. Rey Del Rosario, was chosen to fill in the spot to complete the “kings group”, becoming the advisory group to CKS endeavors.
When classes for level 1 officially started in June 2017, the expected number of students which are to serve as pioneers of this project is only 15, but it turned out to be 26 and all of them made it to the finish with due recognition awarded them. From then on, classes continued until the same were halted because of the government declared pandemic. The rest period was an opportunity for curricular evaluation until a revised curricular offering of 12 subjects for six (6) months training was conceived and implemented. Since such implementation, five centers, namely Mandurriao, Sta. Barbara, Janiuay, Dumangas, and
Passi, to date, have successfully completed the curricular
requirements.
Amidst challenges, CKS is forcefully moving forward with its mandate of training global leaders and influencers toward societal transformation for the glory of God the King. Graduates of CKS and attendees of annual Kingdom Summit have volunteered to reach the next generation of leaders in high school campuses when a Memorandum of Understanding was signed and the kingdom work on first campus, Oton National High School, started October 13, 2023. Currently there work has expanded to 10 national high school campuses being ministered
weekly by various pastors and leaders coming from various
denominations and local church congregations.
Last November 4, 2025, during the debriefing of CKS Executive
Committee, an idea was presented to create an overarching movement to oversee the programs being implement in three advocacies CKS, in Kingdom Summit and Campus Outreach, thus the Kingdom of God Global Movement was birthed. With the approval of the Kings Advisory Council, the idea was formalized last November 11, 2025.
Much is yet to be done. And this excites likeminded kingdom leaders to break through contrary walls, confident that dominion is their royal design.
