Our Story

From the desk of the Pastor.....


We have many challenges before us, but with God before us, nothing is impossible.  We must continue in prayer and do thanksgiving in all that we do.  We must continue to help others that are less fortunate than ourselves; we must continue to let our light shine and God's love shine through us as we march forward toward the mark of the high calling. 

As a church in the 21st century, we must continue to do God's will and not our will by teaching and preaching the unadulterated truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land". 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV


God Bless,
Pastor Duane F. Hunter

At the heart of everything we do is the understanding that we must love God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, and to treat our neighbors as we wish to be treated ourselves.
