“Empowerment Christian Church remains fully operational and active in ministry. We are currently in a God-ordained transition as we trust God for our own permanent place,” Rev. Natasha said.
She clarified that during this transition period, all church services continue live on digital platforms, ensuring uninterrupted worship, preaching, prayer, and pastoral care for congregants locally and globally.
Schedule
Reverend Natasha encouraged members to stay connected online for spiritual nourishment and ministration, noting that all communication channels remain open and active.
According to the church’s schedule, Sunday Services are held live every Sunday at 11:00 am, while Miracle Monday Services take place every Monday at 8:00 pm, both streamed online.
“We remain strong, focused, united and moving forward in faith and purpose. All our communication channels remain operational and open as we continue touching lives and impacting generations with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,” she added.
This comes a few days after Reverend Lucy Natasha announced the indefinite closure of her physical church services due to venue-related challenges.
In a statement shared with members of Empowerment Nation on Saturday, January 10, 2026, the popular televangelist announced that, starting Sunday, January 11, 2026, congregants would no longer gather at the Biashara Plaza Rooftop, which has been the church’s physical meeting place.
“Due to venue challenges, starting this Sunday, the 11th, we shall not be gathering at Biashara Plaza Rooftop,” she announced.
Reverend Lucy Natasha clarified that all church services will now continue exclusively online until further notice.
She called on members of Empowerment Nation to stand with the church in prayer during the transition period, expressing faith that they will soon move into what she described as a “God-ordained space”.
“Please stand with us in prayer as we transition toward our own God-ordained space. Let’s stay connected,” she said.
Despite the setback, the preacher struck a hopeful and reassuring tone, declaring blessings over the congregation and encouraging members to remain steadfast as services move online.
“We declare blessings over Empowerment Nation—favour, provision, and peace in this season,” she added, assuring congregants that they would continue to receive spiritual nourishment through online platforms.
Reverend Lucy Natasha further encouraged her followers not to lose heart, emphasising faith, continuity, and divine provision during the period of change.
“You will not lack, you will not miss your moment. In Jesus’ name.”
