From North Carolina to the world, Manna Church is on a God-sized mission: to plant a church near every U.S. military base on the planet. With more than 273 bases, this vision isn’t just ambitious, it’s entirely dependent on God’s guidance.
Pastor Christopher Fletcher shared with CBN News how the church’s goal was born after more than 1,100 military members transferred in a single year. “God gave my dad a vision…to reach military families wherever they are,” he said. “It’s terrifying, it’s massive, but it’s God-sized.”
With 33 churches already serving military communities, Manna Church ensures continuity and spiritual support for those constantly relocating. Army Reservist 1st Lt. Todd Capen explained, “Military families don’t have to search for a church, they can plug into a familiar network wherever they move.”
For military children and families, these churches provide more than Sunday services, they offer stability, community, and spiritual nourishment amid frequent deployments. CW3 Sabrina Bentley-Thompson, a retired Army veteran, said, “It’s amazing…knowing your church family will be there wherever you are.”
Manna Church isn’t just planting buildings; it’s planting faith, hope, and continuity in the lives of those serving the nation.
