We are leading the way and focusing on the churchs primary assignment which is touching lives, making a difference, feeding the poor and giving back to the underprivileged. We want to be a channel of blessing, a bridge of hope, and a connection to touch the lives of people. In understanding the challenges faced by individuals and families in our communities, Empowerment Worship Centre embarked on an ambitious undertaking to address some critical gaps in access to healthcare and education. Through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated congregation, volunteers, and community partners, we have made significant strides in improving the lives of thousands.
