Fellowship

Fellowship with one another beckons with a holy calling to a holy, happy life. Having entered the narrow path of obedience, let us refresh our minds by communion with one another and with God. As we see the day of God approaching, let us meet often to study His Word and to exhort one another to be faithful unto the end.

Worship

Worship qualifies our nature, core being and reason to exist. In our name we respond to His reasonable call to Worship Him alone...

Praise

Praise is a central part of worshiping God. When our lives are filled with the righteousness of Christ, it redounds to the praise of the Lord. Whom do we praise? The Lord alone.

Pastor Kevin K. Bryan

The ministry of Pastor Bryan is patterned after St. Luke 4:18-19, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has chosen me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the oppressed and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save His people."

His favorite Bible text is found in Isaiah 41:9-10, "I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying, You are My servant.' For I have chosen you and will not throw you away. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand."
