Season of Seeking

2012-01-10T15:51:00.002-06:00

It's not too late to join in with thousands of other believers and start the New Year in a focused Season of Seeking. Each week we will have prayer directives that we can all unite around and lift up to heaven together. And as we pray through these 21 days, I know God will hear us from heaven. I know God will honor His great promise, "Call unto me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and mighty things that you do not know." I invite you to join in this Season of Seeking this January.

Bishop RE Howard
General Overseer

Enhance your personal Season of Seeking with a time of fasting. Whether you fast a meal each day, a day each week, or join in the "Daniel Fast," join your brother and sisters in Christ as we seek the will of God for the first 21 days of January, 2012.

First Service in the Gym

2011-12-04T18:16:00.009-06:00

We are thankful and rejoicing to have come this far in the project of rebuilding after the April 27th tornado when our city, neighborhoods and church properties were left completely destroyed. We have been worshiping in tents since the Sunday following the tornado. First, area ministries provided us with an open air tent, and by July we were blessed by Dutch Sheets Ministries to worship in a "Perma Tent," a steel-framed canvas structure on a make shift plywood floor. W have had no restrooms or facilities for classes or fellowship, however the Perma-structure provided us with a dry, cleaner and cooler place to worship. To God be the Glory!

With our first focus being the Youth & Children's Ministries, our gymnasium building is approximately 75% complete, as sited in the pictures below. This room seats 200, and is equipped with full media/sound system and stage. Amazingly enough, the chairs in this room are the 200 hundred chairs we salvaged from our destroyed church that seated 300. These chairs have made every transition with us from the open tent, to the Perma Tent, and now the youth center. (One small story of many about God's provision.)

We are very thankful to begin worshiping in the Youth Church until the rebuilding of our sanctuary structure is complete in April, 2012.
It is so wonderful to finally worship in a building for the first time in 7 months!
Rob checking out the church bulletin...
