Christian Life Ministries of the Phils. Inc. was established through the workings of the Almighty God. It started with fourteen people, gathering every Sunday afternoon in Wildlife Park, Quezon City. They agreed to continue studying the word of God for almost four months, until finally, they invited Ptr. Lionel M. Cotanda to lead them in their quest for the truth.
July 1987, Alfred Fajardo offered his repair shop, located in Holy Cross, Quirino Highway, Novaliches, Quezon City, as temporary venue for Sunday gatherings. Soon, the fellowship has grown, and 1988 was the year God confirmed the church to be one of His agents in gospel preaching by a series of remarkable events. First, Ptr. Lionel M. Cotanda migrated to the US and he was succeeded by Ptr. Donde M. Cotanda as church pastor.
