What do you offer for teenagers?

Nations Youth Culture (NYC) meets bi-weekly on Wednesday Nights at CfaN Headquarters from 6:30-8:30 PM and is the perfect place for every middle or high schooler to find a family of friends, participate in high-energy games, and experience God in a way that leaves them transformed and empowered.

NYC are more than a Wednesday night youth group. We want to reach out to every teen throughout the week and plan activities outside of the church to facilitate relationships. We’d love for you to join our family!

On Sundays, we encourage all teenagers to join us in our main services where there is a reserved section in the auditorium for youth to sit together. The music and preaching is designed to appeal to the young people (as well as adults).

What do you believe?

We are a Jesus centered, full-gospel, evangelical, non-denominational community.

Even within our leadership we have those who have come from Baptist, Methodist and Pentecostal churches and everything in between. To see our statement of faith, click here.

How do you define the gospel?

Our Pastor defines the gospel like this: “The Gospel is the proclamation (kēryssō) of Good News (euangelion) that God offers salvation to sinful humanity (Rom. 1:16) if they will repent and put their trust in Jesus Christ (Mark 1:15). There is nothing we can do to save ourselves (Rom. 3:20). That is why Jesus came (Luke 19:10). He lived a sinless life (2 Cor. 5:21). He died a vicarious death (Is. 53:5). He rose from the dead on the third day – victorious over sin, death, hell and the grave (Rev. 1:18). He ascended to Heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to abide with us forever (John 14:16). Salvation is only found in Jesus Christ and there is “no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Outside of Christ there is nothing but damnation (Mark 16:16).
Yet, salvation is not simply a get-out-of-hell-free card. Nor is it simply a theological category. It is a full immersion into the Spirit of God (1 Cor. 12:13) which results in a complete transformation of a person’s life (2 Cor. 5:17). Our spirit is “born again” the moment we put our trust in Christ (John 3:3-6), by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8). For a believer, that is in the past (2 Tim. 1:9, 1 Cor. 6:11, Titus 3:4-5). Our soul is continually being saved as we are conformed to the image of Christ (2 Cor. 3:18). That is an ongoing, present reality (1 Cor. 1:18, Phil. 2:12-13, 2 Cor. 2:15). Our body will be resurrected at the return of Christ unto eternal life (that is future) (1 Thess. 4:16-17, Eph. 1:14, 1 Thess. 5:8, ). Thus, the gospel effects every part of a person: spirit, soul and body (1 Thess 5:23) – past, present and future (Rom. 5:9).

What kind of history do you have?

We are a new church with a long legacy. Nations Church (which launched on August 15th 2021) is the local church expression of Christ for all Nations (CfaN) which was started in 1975 by the world renowned evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. In 2008 Daniel Kolenda, Reinhard Bonnke’s successor, became the President and CEO of CfaN. We have printed over 190-million copies of Evangelist Bonnke and Kolenda’s books in 104 languages and we have documented more than 81-million decisions for Christ in our super-massive Gospel Crusades around the world. You will find the same culture of excellence, integrity, evangelistic zeal and love for the Lord that has characterized CfaN for more than 45 years at Nations Church. Moreover, the Nations Church family is a global family with 14 offices in 12 countries on 6 continents. For more about our story, click here.
