Ministry Team

Henry Hall

Associate Pastor

Henry Hall is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. He has a degree in Church Leadership from Milligan University. He is a Bible teacher, writer, and musician. He has served the local church in a variety of roles for 7 years. Henry has played bass for two different touring bands. Later this year, his first book is being published by Lion Book Publishing. More than anything, He desires to know Jesus and make Him known to others.

Overseer Team

Other than Pastor Thomas, this is our Interim Overseer Team until we establish local eldership. We believe a plurality of local elders is the best governance structure for our church plant. This seasoned team of pastors serves to bridge the gap between the time our new church is formed and when local leadership is appointed.
