Our Worship: An Encounter with the Spirit
Join Us for Worship
Weekly Worship Services
Join us every Saturday for Sabbath worship services at Ruwe Headquarters and churches throughout our Dioceses & Pastorates.
Our theology is distinctive for its pneumatological focus: the Holy Spirit (Roho) is the central locus of divine revelation, healing, and ecclesial authority. We emphasize the experiential knowledge of the Spirit.
When you worship with us, you are joining a sacred space where prophetic utterance, spirit possession, and communal testimony are normative practices.

Our Liturgical Life
Dhoroho: The Language of the Spirit
One of our most conspicuous religious innovations is the Dhoroho liturgical practice.
What it is:
Often described as the "language of the Spirit" Dhoroho is a liturgical register that comprises hymns, creeds, and formulas.
Its Origin:
Dhoroho language was revealed to Paulo Rang'enga Ojoro shortly after the Musanda martyrdom.
Its Function:
It encodes our doctrinal memory, structures our worship, and functions as a shared identity marker that is passed down to our children.
Healing and Prophetic Ministry
Healing ministry and prophetic acts are central to Ruwe worship. Our evangelistic meetings emphasize:
Exorcism of Evil Spirits
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we cast out evil spirits and restore spiritual freedom.
Prayer for the Sick
We believe in divine healing through prayer, laying on of hands, and the power of the Roho.
Prophetic Guidance
The Holy Spirit speaks through prophetic utterances to guide and direct our community.
Healing practices employ Dhoroho songs, the laying on of hands, communal fasting, and public sin confession to secure divine intervention. Women play a central spiritual role in this ministry as healers (laktar) and prophetic mediums.
Our Practices and Moral Codes
Ruwe places a high value on strict religious observance and moral conduct.
Sabbath Observance
We observe the Sabbath on Saturday, dedicating this day to worship, rest, and spiritual renewal.
Moral Prohibitions
We adhere to strict moral codes, which historically forbid alcohol, tobacco, and secular music/dancing.
Fasting
Communal fasts are a key practice, often preceding major events to seek the Spirit's favor or prophetic clarity.
