Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Christ Embassy, has unveiled a range of electric vehicles under the Tsion brand, marking the church’s expansion into automobile technology and manufacturing.
The vehicles were unveiled during the New Economy Unveiling 2026, where Oyakhilome presented several models, including the Tsion Passion, Falcon series, Vision series, Vision Coupe and OG series.
The presentation, which attracted significant attention online, showed Oyakhilome walking through the vehicle line-up and explaining the different models as they were displayed.
The initiative places Christ Embassy in an emerging area of Nigeria’s technology and mobility sector at a time when interest in electric vehicles is increasing amid efforts to reduce dependence on petrol and diesel-powered transportation.
The unveiling has also generated discussion about the role religious organisations can play in developing businesses, technology and other productive ventures beyond their traditional activities.
Reacting to the development, Pastor Bolaji Idowu, founder of Harvesters International Christian Centre, described the project as evidence of the church’s growing influence beyond the pulpit.
“My mind has been stretched. This is what it means to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world,” Idowu said.
He added: “We are not waiting for them to give us a solution. The church has come to its place; now they have no other option than to listen to us.
“We are not just preaching the gospel; we are demonstrating the ability of the Spirit, even in the marketplace.”
The Tsion project comes as Nigeria’s electric vehicle market gradually develops, with manufacturers and policymakers seeking to promote cleaner transportation, reduce fuel dependence and build local capacity in the automotive industry.
However, important details about the Tsion vehicles, including their battery capacity, driving range, charging system, production location, pricing and commercial launch date, are yet to be fully disclosed.
The success of the initiative will ultimately depend on its ability to move beyond the unveiling stage into sustained production, with competitive pricing, dependable after-sales support and access to charging infrastructure.
For Christ Embassy, the project represents a notable shift into the technology and mobility space, while the coming months will show whether the Tsion brand can establish itself as a serious participant in Nigeria’s developing electric vehicle market.
