The Vision

For several years, our church has envisioned the construction of a new church. In 2007, we were blessed with a remarkable piece of land, just over three acres, located only a quarter mile up the road. We firmly believe that God's guidance has been present throughout this project, and we trust that He will continue to support us in the future. Our progress on the church has been gradual, as we financed the work as we went.

After acquiring the land and commencing construction, Brother Wade received a Devine message from God through a dream. In this dream, he saw a house that had been destroyed. As he reflected on the image of the ruined house, his brother-in-law, Ralph Totten, approached him and proclaimed, "The second house will be greater than the first!" This prophetic message has resonated deeply within our church community. We take inspiration from Haggai 2:9, which asserts that "the glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts."

!!!!!Attention!!!!!

The images displayed below showcase the progress we’ve made thus far in our project. It’s worth highlighting that everything you see has been fully funded through the generosity of our congregation and community. We are not a wealthy church; rather, we are a group of dedicated individuals who have united to raise funds and work diligently toward our goals. Over the years, we have organized various fundraising events, including food sales and festivals, and have received numerous donations. Our aspiration is to complete this endeavor without needing to borrow any funds. We are grateful for the support we have received at every stage of this journey, and we trust that our needs will continue to be met in due time.

Importantly, much of the construction work has been carried out not by seasoned carpenters, but by enthusiastic volunteers. Only Brother Wade and a limited number of others have professional carpentry experience. The rest of our team was eager to learn, and with the guidance of Brother Wade and a few skilled individuals, they have acquired new skills along the way. We are pleased to report that we have successfully passed every inspection to date. We are incredibly thankful for the blessings we have received!

"And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work."
(Nehemiah 2:18)

This is a video of Bro. Jim Wyatt feeling the Holy Ghost. Bro. Jim has shouted all the way from the footers until the time of this video in 2016. We prayed and was cleaning up and while Bro. Jim was sweeping, the Holy Ghost hit him. This actually went on for several minutes, but the camera was full and could not record it all.
