Mark & Jemima

Mark & Jemima Varughese are the Senior Leaders of Kingdomcity – a growing, vibrant church in multiple locations around the world.

With a growing gifted team of passionate pastors and strategic leaders in multiple nations, Kingdomcity is quickly expanding into a global movement with seeds now in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Australia in first world and developing world settings.

The “family atmosphere” between the team globally continues to be a hallmark of Kingdomcity and the emphasis on relational connection, spiritual hunger, and daily empowerment of each believer ‘to bring the reality of God to their world’ is their unashamed focus.

Mark‘s journey began in 2003 when he left his legal career to pursue full-time ministry in a local church in Perth, Australia. In 2005, he had a personal encounter with God in what he describes as ‘his burning bush’ experience. In response to what he believed God told him, he left Australia, bought a one-way ticket to Malaysia, and planted what is now Kingdomcity in April 2006.

Mark is currently finishing his first book which captures his personal journey and the Kingdomcity story, interwoven with a common thread of faith and risk. Stay in touch for more details on the release of his book in your city.

Jemima married Mark in 2007, joining him 18 months into this God-journey. Together, they share a passion and burden to bring the reality of God to our world across multiple cultures. An ardent communicator, her keen insights and creative messages never fail to touch people’s hearts. Along with their 2 sons, Zeke & Caleb, they are wholeheartedly committed as a family to this mandate.

Jemima & the women of Kingdomcity have created a blog called Beautiful Journal. Faith-filled articles on marriage, parenthood, singlehood and lifestyle, each crafted to empower and bring revival to women of all stages of life, can be found here.

We believe in one eternal God, self-existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible.

(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

We believe that God created the world and everything in it and as recorded in Genesis 1 & 2; We believe that God created every individual and gave every human being a free will; and in using the free will that God gave humanity, we by our disobedience and sinful nature have total spiritual disconnection and are completely unable to attain to right-standing with God on our own merit.

(Romans 5:12,18-19)

We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the only Saviour of humanity; Who fully God, became fully man through conception by the Holy Spirit and was born of the virgin Mary. His sinless life made possible His death as perfect atonement for all humanity.

(John 1:14-18; Luke 1:26-35; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6)

We believe that Jesus Christ gave up His life on the cross, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples. He ascended to Heaven and He will come again a second time for His Church.

(1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 4:25; John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

We believe that God is not willing that any person should be separated from Him but everyone, through repentance and faith in who Jesus is and what Jesus did on the cross, may obtain eternal life by confessing that conviction with their mouth and believing in their heart; by means of God’s grace through Jesus, we have right-standing with God.

(Titus 3:4-7; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5:8-11; Romans 10:8-13)

We believe that the Bible is inspired by God and is the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct.

(2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21; 1 Corinthians 2:13)

We believe in the reality of the spiritual realm, angels and demons; heaven and hell; the existence of the Devil; and God’s judgment destining him and his fallen angels to eternal consignment in the Lake of Fire. We believe in the eternal life of believers and eternal separation from God for unbelievers.

(Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:14-15; John 5:24; John 3:16,36; Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; Revelation 20:10-15)

We believe that God wants us to live a life based on the finished work of Jesus, from which our security in salvation produces a desire to obey God, a willingness to fear God more than man and to express true Christian faith through genuine obedience to God’s word.

(Ephesians 5:18; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 7:1)

We believe that water baptism by immersion is an outward act of obedience by each individual who chooses to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

(Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:34-36; 19:1-6)

We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience given by God. We recognise speaking in an unknown language as a significant evidence of this Baptism; and that speaking “in tongues” is a God-given prayer language available to every believer who is baptised in the Holy Spirit.

(Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17; 10:44-45; Galatians 3:14, Jude v20)

We believe that God wants to use believers today in the operation of the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit as enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12-14 and Ephesians 4; We believe that God still does miracles and uses believers to bring healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus, as part of bringing the reality of God to our world, as practiced in the early Church.

(Acts 4:30; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 12:9; James 5:14; Mark 16:17)

We believe all human life is a gift from God and that life is sacred from the moment of conception and each person has a divinely ordained purpose irrespective of the circumstance of conception or birth and we uphold and honour the sanctity of human life from this same moment.

(Genesis 2:28; Psalm 139:13-16; Jeremiah 1:5, Luke 1:15)

We believe God’s intention for marriage is between one man and one woman for life, and that all sex is reserved for marriage as God intended it.

(Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Ephesians 5:22-23, Mark 10:1-9; 1 Corinthians 7:1-4, Proverbs 5:15-19, 1 Corinthians 6:9, Galatians 5:16)

We believe that because of our sinful nature and brokenness in our world, we all struggle with varying issues, but the heart of God is to bring forgiveness and restoration to those who seek it and that through grace and truth, personal healing and reconciliation to God is available to all.

(Romans 6,7,8; Luke 4:18, Acts 3:19-21, Galatians 6:1, Psalm 23:3, Jeremiah 29:11-14; John 1:14,17, Hebrew 4:16, John 8:31-32, 2 Corinthians 12:8-9)
