Who We Are

About Elyon Christian Church

“Restoring lives… Advancing Nations.”

Our Vision

To spread the saving grace of Jesus Christ over the world in order to rebuild broken lives and develop nations to the glory of the Kingdom of God.

Our Core Values

What We Stand On

Serve Out Of Rest

We can be productive and effective on the outside because we have God's peace and rest on the inside. Serving out of rest is not inactivity, but Spirit-directed activity.

People Matter

We love and value every person because each of us matters to the Lord. In everything we do, we seek to glorify God and edify man.

Excellence

We seek to excel in all that we do because we have the mind and Spirit of Christ.

Cutting Edge

We endeavour to be innovative and always at the forefront of all that we do. We are geared to the times but still anchored to the Rock.

Honor

We treat each other with respect and integrity. We honour and submit to our leaders as unto the Lord.

Our Priority Is You

Stop Here and Read

As you grow to know us better, I want you to understand that God is not in a state of hostility toward you in any way. He does not despise you but rather He is really enthusiastic about you. You may be on the lowest level of life, but know that even if you do not know God, you are still very much loved. This applies even if you are not a child of God. God cares so deeply about you that He desires to bring you back to a position where you may live your life with honor and sanity. You have always been and will continue to be God's first priority. You are God's project, and regardless of what others may say about you, regardless of the voices that stand against you, and regardless of the storms that stand against you, you will prevail; simply because God is on your side.

“The Lord said to me, 'Bring My Son back to the church, restore my people.'”— Senior Pastor Rick Netshiozwi
