God called me to lead fifteen people from the humble beginnings of a home church into a church reaching nearly two hundred weekly and impacting the community through multiple touch points!
As discipleship needs grew, we developed multiple weekly services providing an expositional preaching approach, engaging prayer meetings, as well as interactive, inductive Bible study
