About Us
We believe the Church is meant to be the hands and feet of Jesus, taking His kingdom into every home, neighbourhood, school, and workplace.
We exist to take Jesus to all people, helping all to walk abundant, fruitful, and everlasting lives
abundant
adj.
over and above; plentiful; more than you need.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:10
fruitful
adj.
producing much fruit
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
John 15:16
everlasting
adj.
lasting forever; without end.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
It all comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ
Everything that Strong Nation Church does is built on the foundation of helping people to walk this kind of life—a strong life.
As each person grows and becomes strong, the fruits of following Jesus flow out into their family. As we build strong families we come together to form a strong church. The more strong churches we can build, the larger our impact on the nation will be. This is how we change the world and establish God’s kingdom on the Earth—it starts with the one.
Isaiah 60:22
“A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
The small becomes great. The one becomes a nation. We believe in that destiny for all of our people. It’s about being faithful with the little and letting God bring the increase.
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; ...I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12:2-3
