Senior Pastor Full Time

Our Mission and Vision
Our desire is to see God produce an ever-growing multiplicity of Christ-followers in
Terrace Heights, the Yakima Valley, and throughout the world. We hope to see this
happen by: Helping people put “roots” into Jesus through receiving Him as Lord, being
baptized in His name, praying constantly, and growing in knowledge of this life in Christ
through God’s Word. Supporting and encouraging fellow believers as we hold each
other accountable to continue the growth process of being Christ-like. This occurs
during Sunday services and in our everyday lives. “Branching” out to serve our
community, schools, and neighbors and sharing the Good News of life in Jesus. This
includes sending out Christ-followers to plant new churches, and as missionaries
throughout the Yakima Valley and the world.
