History

Founded in 1982, the church has been progressively reaching out to international communities from all walks of life. Focused on equipping the congregants with the Living Word and its application, the church is focused on being a light in the community around them, and the many countries reached through their various missions and outreach endeavors.

While in the original building, the church grew from 400 to 1500. Then in 1996, after a three-year building project, the new worship and ministry center was expanded from 20,000 square feet to 120,000 square feet. The church's attendance is currently estimated at 4000.[2]

The interim pastors here are Michael and Becki McDermott.[3][4]
