“I’ve known Tony Sutherland well over a decade, and have watched his faithfulness in ministry across multiple platforms. I’ve also witnessed how God has organically and deliberately elevated Tony’s voice and heart to a national and global scale. The revelation that Tony has received from the Holy Spirit regarding New Covenant Grace is nothing short of life altering and revolutionary. It is not just the profound nature in which he communicates these truths but it is also the life that he lives. Having ministered in and served numerous congregations around the world, Tony teaches and preaches the uncompromising message of Grace, hope, and restoration found in Jesus Christ unlike anyone else today. His ministry is awakening this generation to the truth that there is more grace available than sin has done damage, “for where sin abounds, grace does much more abound.” (Romans 5:20) I am proud and excited to say, “I knew Tony when...”

His passion for Jesus has crossed over into every area of our church including kids, middle and high school students all the way up to our adults and seniors. Parents and youth regularly express their sincere appreciation of Tony’s ministry and the blessing it has been in their lives and their families over the years. Whether it be for our student gatherings to our main services, his music and the anointing on his life help to consistently lead all of us, including me, into God’s presence every time. I know that your church will powerfully encounter God through his ministry.”

We have also supported Tony and his mission to fan the flame of worship and a hunger after the presence of God in numerous congregations across our nation and around the world. Tony’s ministry connects with people through his passion for God, authenticity, musical excellence and a relevant approach that is making a powerful impact on this generation.
