Senior Pastor - Dr. Mark G. Barrett
Dr. Barrett is a biblical expositor and has been a teaching pastor since 1994. He endeavors to rightly divide the Word of God through clear expositional peaching/teaching. This is so people will see precisely and rightly, the beauty, majesty, and glory of their King Jesus Christ. Then in seeing Him, they will strive to abide in Him, know Him, obey Him, and treasure Him above all else.
