Our Mission and Vision

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: (Eph 4:11-12 KJV).

We purpose to build disciples of Jesus Christ by empowering people to walk out the Gospel and impact the world around them. Our vision is to gather, shepherd, encourage, confirm, and release into ministry those individuals God joins with us, as well as to develop, establish and oversee foundational expressions of Christian worship, training, prayer, and service.

A Book Recommendation

I haven't been writing much lately, instead spending my time reading. One book I just finished was such a delight to read I thought I'd pass a recommendation along. "Sundays Down South" by James O. Chatham, is "A revealing picture of Southern character as seen in a minister's recollections of his congregations". A collection of stories from 4 pastorates, over 30+ years, written in such an easy style and pull of surprises, I could hardly put it down. Published by University Press of Mississippi and part of their Folklife in the South Series. Available at The Dalles/Wasco County Library (as soon as I return it!)
