#NATIONSTRONG Thank you for reading the premiere issue of The SCOPE Magazine where we are “keeping Holy Nation in view!” We are so excited that God has blessed us with another avenue to empower His people. Our goal is to give our readers a telescopic view into Holy Nation and how we are expanding the kingdom of God. Holy Nation Church of Memphis, under the leadership of Pastors Andrew and Shirley Perpener, is devoted to love, worship, serve, and excel. With the help of our members, partners and friends, we will accomplish the vision for which were created. God impressed upon our founder to build a powerful church and we are just that….powerful. This issue is an introduction of who Holy Nation is, our vision, our beliefs, our ministries and how they operate. We have all heard the phrase “it takes teamwork to make the dreamwork.” That saying is definitely true. It takes a TEAM to do ministry. We are blessed at the Nation to have a strong team of servant leaders and staff who are vital in helping us to operate at such a high level of excellence. We are #nationstrong! Being #NATIONSTRONG is a declaration of who we are. We are a nation of believers who are strong in fulfilling

the perfect will of God. We celebrate the gifts of God in each other, accomplishments, milestone and every victory by stating, texting, tagging in social media and declaring to the world at every opportunity that we are #nationstrong. We pray that you have enjoyed this first issue of many more to come. #NationStrong
