Serving Sunnyside, July 2026

Our mission

We exist to develop Kingdom builders who are rooted in truth, transformed by the Word, and sent to make an impact.

Through intentional discipleship, genuine accountability, and Spirit-led empowerment, we equip believers to walk in spiritual maturity, lead with integrity, and build with excellence in every area of life.

Our heart is to see lives, families, and communities changed for the glory of God.

Our vision

Four pillars carry every believer from the altar to the assignment — anchored, strengthened, equipped, and released.

  1. 1
    Anchored in
    Accountability

    We walk in truth and transparency — before God and one another — committing to honesty and Kingdom standards.

  2. 2
    Strengthened by
    Stability

    We are rooted in faith and the Word of God — immovable in adversity, building lives and families on an unshakable foundation.

  3. 3
    Equipped with
    Capability

    We develop the gifts, skills, and spiritual tools needed to serve with excellence and fulfill God-given assignments.

  4. 4
    Released with
    Ability

    We release Kingdom leaders with Holy Spirit power — sent to transform families, communities, and nations for God's glory.

Our Leaders

Two couples, one assignment: building Kingdom men and women with faith, integrity, and love for people.
