Our Mission:
Honour God - Love People - Serve Nations
Building a strong, growing, Christ- centered, Spirit empowered church that honors God, adds value to our community, reaches the next generation and serves nations.
19 February 2012 - "When crisis comes, God can turn it around, but He wants to change you and give you a new perspective." Pst Manny visits us from Manila and gives us a message of encouragement leading up to the first anniversary of the February 22nd earthquake in Christchurch.
12 February 2012 - Pst Bernhard invites a few different people to share on their experience and insight over the past week of prayer and fasting.
5 February 2012 - Often when we think of prayer and fasting we think of it as some sort of punishment we must endure. Fasting is not so much about going without food as it is about feasting on God's Word. Our mindset needs to change from it being something that we 'have to do' to something that we 'get to do' - a privelage and a blessing. It is when we spend more time in God's presence developing our relationship with Him.
Every Nation Christchurch is a member of Every Nation Churches and Ministries family of churches and ministries, a worldwide movement of churches.
As a member church, we subscribe to the Every Nation mission:
"To honor God and establish Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, socially responsible churches and campus ministries in every nation"
Our mission describes why we exist, what we do, how we build and where we go.
1. Why? To honor God.
Our starting point is the honor of God. Our goal is the honor of God. Our motive is the honor of God. The chief end of Every Nation Christchurch is to “honor Him and enjoy Him forever.” This is foundational for understanding why we do what we do. It is all about Him, not us.
2. What? To establish churches and campus ministries.
We are a church that believes in church planting and is called to support and plant new churches and campus ministries that will reach high school and university students .
3. How?
• Christ-centered
Every Nation churches and campus ministries are to be centered on Jesus Christ, not for any man, doctrine or experience to take center stage.
17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Colossians 1:17, 18
• Spirit-empowered
Every Nation churches and campus ministries welcome and celebrate the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to empower us to live lives that honor God and become effective witnesses to our community.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8
• Socially Responsible
Every Nation churches and campus ministries are to demonstrate Christ to the community and culture that they’re in.
"Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God."
Proverbs 14:31
"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "
Matthew 25:45
4. Where?
• Every nation
19"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19,20
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
Revelation 7:9

We adopt the following Statement of Faith, as agreed upon by the National Association of Evangelicals:
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
THE CHURCH I SEE , is the way we picture ‘church’. Its the way we dream! We have chosen to dream big and to be people of faith .
