Pastor Terry

Senior Pastor

His studies has led him to achieve his Masters in Theology. Terry believes there is no greater calling than to bring people to Jesus. Most importantly, his conviction and faith are grounded in the Bible. "You can't exhaust the Word of God. If you love God, the Bible always stays new." In 1980, he married his wife Adrianne, and later that year began their journey of full time Pastoring. Adrianne continued studies achieving a Bachelor's Degree in Christian Counseling and Church  Administration.
