Who we are

Every Nation Christchurch has been Honouring God, Loving People and Serving Nations in our beautiful city since 2000.

In response to a vision of the fire of God breaking out in Cape Town and spreading to the nations Pst Bernhard and Colleen and their family were sent out from the EN church in Cape Town South Africa ('His People' Church) and came to Christchurch, New Zealand full of faith and certainty that God had called them to establish an Apostolic centre.

The commission from Matthew 28:18,19 was to ‘Go and make disciples of all the nations - Nā reira haere, meinga hei ākonga o ngā iwi katoa...'

This mandate has priorities to Love God and love your neighbour (Mark 22:37-39).

Ten years later, after a journey that has been full of its own significance, challenges, tears, sweat, victories and defining moments, we are amazed at what God has established. Many people, young and old, have been transformed, broken lives have been restored, families and marriages reconciled and reunited, and leaders equipped to impact society.

God’s favour has enabled us to establish a multi-generational and multi-cultural church. Someone once said, "The end goal of missions is worship!" 

'Every tribe, every tongue, every nation will worship before the throne - Nō ngā iwi katoa, nō ngā hapū, nō ngā huihuinga tāngata, nō ngā reo’ -Revelation 7:9
