Christ Embassy founder Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has introduced a new automotive brand called Tsion, unveiling a range of electric vehicles at a major church event on August 19, 2026. The reveal took place during The New Economy Unveiling 2026, part of the church's economic and innovation-focused programming. Videos from the occasion spread rapidly across social media, drawing widespread attention.
Tsion Vehicle Lineup and Features
Several models were showcased during the presentation, including the Tsion Passion, Tsion Falcon, a Vision series, a Vision Coupe, and what Oyakhilome called the OG series. He clarified that "OG" stands for "Of God." During the event, Oyakhilome acknowledged that certain elements of the vehicles are still undergoing refinement, specifically pointing to the steering wheel design as an area still being worked on.
The unveiling marks a surprising step into the electric vehicle space for the prominent pastor, whose church has previously been involved in banking, fintech, and a flour mill factory, according to social media commentators.

The electric car launch, however, represents a new frontier for the church's innovation-focused activities, with the Tsion brand poised to enter the automotive market.
