ABOUT US
The Elevate Community Church has been set up by God to empower people to achieve the highest levels of greatness in life. We believe that everyone has the seeds of greatness in them and through this church those seeds are nurtured and released. We believe greatness in its true form is service, just as Jesus said.
We are a campus of the Elevation Church Nigeria, a church led by Godman and Bola Akinlabi since 2010 in the suburbs of Lagos, Nigeria. Today the church family has campuses in several countries including Canada and USA.
