What we are about

Four things you will hear us say

These are not slogans we picked out of a book. They are on our banners, in our services, and on the wall of the fellowship hall.

Experience the Power of Unity

Psalm 133 is not a decoration here. What God does in a church that actually dwells together is the whole point.

Loving God. Loving People.

The two commandments Jesus said everything else hangs on. We try to keep it that simple.

Helping People Live a Better Life

The Gospel changes eternity, and it also changes Monday. We preach for both.

The Kingdom Is Now

God is not only working someday and somewhere else. He is at work on Wyoming Avenue this week.

Our leadership

Bishop Steven Staten & First Lady Val

In September 2007 the mantle of leadership was passed to Bishop Steven Staten, son of the church’s founder. Under his straightforward leadership he is impacting the community, building leaders for the 21st century, and changing lives by preaching, teaching and modeling Christian success.

Love and evangelism are the emphasis of his ministry. Caring and compassionate outreach to people of all walks of life is constantly emphasized, using a team approach.
