Steve Uppal has been Senior Leader at All Nations Christian Centre, Wolverhampton, since 2001. All Nations is a growing and vibrant church family which reflects the diversity of the city.
He is well known locally, regionally and nationally as an anointed and inspiring speaker, with the supremacy of Jesus and the Word of God as his central themes. Steve also has a growing apostolic ministry amongst a number of churches which look to him as a wise ‘father’ or ‘master builder’ – a network based on relationship not organisation. He has a passion for helping believers live life to the full, living intentionally and seeking God for Himself.
Throughout its history the church has been committed to the full gospel and to serving the community, especially those at the margins. All Nations’ vision now encompasses nations across the globe – ‘for all people to glorify God through knowing Christ, becoming like Christ and making Christ known’. Steve and All Nations Church have established strong links in several other countries, particularly Myanmar (Burma), and India.
Steve’s preaching and example are focussed on pressing in to the presence of God. Intimacy with Him and total dependence upon the Holy Spirit are key to seeing the Kingdom advance. He has also written three books. ‘Rousing the Warriors’, is a prophetic call to boldly rise up and advance the kingdom of God. The second book ‘One Life’, helps people to make the most of the one life they have been given. ‘The Burning Ones’ intends to ignite and fuel a passion for Jesus.
